Sainte Foy is one of the Alps' best-kept secrets: "If you are crazy about offpiste skiing, have a young family and are set on staying in a chalet in one of the prettiest modern ski villages in France then Sainte Foy is the place for you," writes Richard Cowper of the UK's Financial Times. "But once there you may find it hard to leave this jewel of the Tarentaise."

Sainte Foy is located deep in the heart of the French Savoie region, giving access to some of the best skiing the world has to offer. From a base at Sainte Foy, skiers can choose to enjoy the piste and powder at the family-friendly resort or to head for some of the biggest names in the Alps, such as Tignes, Courchevel, Les Arcs or Val D'Isere - in fact, you can choose from any one of six surrounding resorts, all within a 20 minute drive of the resort. And Sainte Foy has a secret; it's where experienced guides take clients to find unspoilt off-piste powder, when the big resorts are skied-out.

Giselle Whiteaker, Marketing Manager of Ski Dubai, says: "We hope all our skiers will take advantage of this great offer and opportunity; Sainte Foy is a very highly rated family resort in the heart of the best skiing region in the French Alps and has a lot to offer skiers looking for a luxury family destination. We are delighted to be working with Première Neige, and are confident that our guests would have the ski holiday of a lifetime on this trip."

Hazel Saldanha, Manager of Marketing, Communications and Customer Relations, SWISS, says: "We are pleased to team up with Ski Dubai and Première Neige on this exciting joint initiative. Poised as a leading European airline, SWISS continues to connect travellers with the Alpine region and other exciting ski destinations in various European cities from Zurich and Geneva, and remains the airline of choice for customers traveling from the Middle East."

SWISS maintains a strong presence in the region; with daily direct flights from Dubai, daily flights from Muscat, five weekly flights from Cairo and four weekly flights from Riyadh and Jeddah, SWISS connects easily with 71 destinations worldwide from Zurich and Geneva.

Allistair Jordan of Première Neige adds: "Sainte Foy is the perfect ski holiday destination for families looking for high quality accommodation and service in a unique, unspoilt village resort. The village has something for every member of the family and the range and quality of skiing within easy reach is unmatched; then there's the unrivalled traditional mountain and modern French cuisine offered at the local restaurants which are a delight for gastronauts. We believe with the easy connections to the resort from Dubai, that the resort of Sainte Foy will attract a lot of interest amongst the Dubai ski-set."
