It is also believed to improve blood circulation and breathing and aid skin cleansing.

The Resort
Sainte Foy Tarentaise

There are very few communes the size of Sainte Foy that extend over such a vast area, or such a large difference in altitude. The commune covers over 11,000 hectares and spans a height difference of 2856m, from its lowest point at Viclaire at 890m to the Summit of the Grande Sassière at 3746m. It is bounded to the South by the river Isère and to the north by the Italian border. This can be easily crossed by the two mountain passes, the Col du Mont and the Col du Rocher Blanc.

The property is set on the mountainside overlooking the Tarentaise valley with magnificent views of Mont Pourri. This 20 bed chalet was built by a master builder with every attention to detail.
