Free shuttles at the end of the trail. Less than 10 minutes' walk from the shops of the capital open all year round (with general grocery store, the very good restaurant Le Monal, caterer-cavist, tobacco press, equipment stores, church, doctor's office, osteopath...). The Sainte Foy ski resort also offers a small Super U supermarket as well as a bakery-patisserie "Les Délices de Sainte Foy" and several restaurants.
The car is indeed the best option to enjoy the multiple offers of the Tarentaise mountains.
