Above 2000m. altitude, the Upper Tarentaise valley is snow-covered from December to May. This guarantees great off-piste skiing all season throughout the surrounding resorts : Tignes, Val d'Isère, Champagny, La Plagne, Montchavin, Peisey, Les Arcs, Villaroger, Sainte Foy, La Rosière - La Thuile (Italy).

Based in Sainte Foy in Hotel Le Monal. One night in a mountain hut. Strategically located, this lively hôtel in a typical Savoy village, run by a local family, is the meeting point of the inhabitants of the upper valley. Very comfortable, it offers many amenities, including a ski‐room and web connections in the rooms. It enables us to radiateout to all the surrounding resorts of the Upper Tarentaise, which can be reached in a 10 to 30 minutes drive.


The higher altitude of the resorts and upper valleys of the Tarentaise, as well as their optimal position in the Northern Alps, bordering Italy, endow them with exceptional snow cover, that can be guaranteed from December to May.


This radiating formula enables the guide to choose daily a destination so as to make the very best of prevailing condition, the right place at the right time,the skiing in each different area.

The Tarentaise valley is situated in the northern French Alps. Famous ski ressorts are located in this valley, particularly in the upper part. Major itineraries with a vertical drop of 1500 to 2200 metres lead us downhill many times a day.

Some days we will follow inter‐resort itineraries that connect several major ski areas. Spending one night in a mountain lodge enables us to explore some more distant areas.

The Tarentaise can be traversed without any climbing or ski touring, but... 
the most beautiful itineraries are to be found on the backsides of the resorts, which remain undeveloped because they are in the Vanoise National Park.

From the top of a ski lift, we traverse or climb to reach a ridge, which allows us to ski down the other side. If the access is close and visible from the ski lift, then it is often tracked. But as soon as we go a little further away and out of sight, we find secret passages with their virgin slopes.

Skiers who make the effort of climbing with touring skis and skins for at least half an hour will be immediately rewarded by becoming the only beholders of majestic snow covered peaks, in the realm of mountaineers. 

If the members of your group are ready for this option, many magnificent summits of the Vanoise Massif may be reached in 1 hour with skins from the top of the lifts.
