So what's it like?

A wonderful modern ski resort filled with inspiring skiing

Les Arcs is a wonderful, modern resort filled with inspiring skiing across the Paradiski area. Linked to La Plagne, there is a massive 425 km of pistes, including the Aiguille Rouge glacier above Arc 2000 with guaranteed snow. There are 5 self-contained villages at different heights: Arc 1800 has a lively atmosphere and excellent access to the skiing. Arc 2000 is popular with experienced skiers, with skiing to and from the doorstep. Arc 1600 has a village type atmosphere with a number of shops. The luxury self-catering village of Arc 1950 is the newest and has a good range of shops, restaurants and amenities. Peisey Vallandry is a quiet hamlet, but in a great location at the foot of the Vanoise Express link to La Plagne, enabling guests to make the most of the whole Paradiski area, one of the largest ski areas in the world

Ski information

Beginners

Home of the famous 'Ski Evolutif' teaching method (mini-skis for learning to start, stop and turn), Les Arcs is a great choice for beginners.

Intermediates

The Paradiski Area is brilliant for intermediates. Runs include tree-lined descents into Pèisey Nancroix and Vallandry and a multitude of interlinked blue and red runs.

Advanced

Ski the breathtaking 7km black Aiguille Rouge right the way down into Villaroger (Europe's biggest vertical drop of 2000m!), pound the moguls of Dou de l'Homme or take the new Vanoise Express lift, which carrys 200 people over to La Plagne and return off-piste through the imposing Nancroix forest.
