The French ski resort of Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise has announced it will open a 1,500m new red piste this season.

The ski run will be called Camp Filluel, after a military barracks whose ruins can be spotted nearby, and will be set to the left of the Marquise lift. The piste will be graded red, and cover 305m vertical on south-west facing slopes. It will start at 2415m on what’s locally known as “the shoulder”, and rejoin the Grand Solliet piste as it curves into the wooded area, at 2110m.

Ste-Foy is known as a little pocket of uncrowded, unfussy and good-value off-piste paradise in the Tarentaise, between the two big French ski resorts of Les Arcs and Tignes-Val d’Isère.

The resort says it will have the new Camp Filluel run open by December. While the new red will have good quality natural snow cover, St Foy has also added 15 new snowmaking machines on its most popular pistes including Arpettaz, Chapelle, Savonnettes and Grand Solliet “to improve conditions and ensure a good time is had by all!”
