When the bigger resorts lose their appeal, it�s time to find something more bijou and less busy. Sainte Foy in the Tarentaise, near Val d�Isere, is a hidden gem and off-piste paradise that�s good for families too. By Jane Wright
If the larger French Alpine resorts are beginning to pall - La Plagne (sprawlingly massive), Tignes (not the prettiest), Val d'Isere (full of Brits) Courchevel (full of posh show-off Brits and Russian gangsters), then perhaps the tiny village of Sainte Foy is for you.
