On the slopes

Ski Les Arcs and you can be assured of something for all skiers - as it's one of the world's largest ski areas and has an amazing vertical to boot! The lift system is superb, with few queues except at rush hour. Over 50% of the pistes are graded blue or red, so beginners and intermediates will be in heaven, while expert skiers will find challenging black runs and plenty of off-piste to enjoy.

Amongst the tree-lined runs and bowls are some amazing off piste terrain and trails - there really is something for almost anyone here. Les Arcs was one of the first European ski resorts to pick up boarding, and offers a snow park, with a half-pipe, jumps and boardercross course.

Ski area :

If you Ski Les Arcs you are also in the ski region of Paradiski along with the following resorts; Belle plagne, La Plagne, Les Arcs, Peisey-Vallandry .

Off the slopes

Completed in 2008, the village at Arc 1950 is a fully self-contained with its own shops, restaurants, bars, shops, spa, and underground parking. Of the towns, 1800 has the greatest choice of eateries - over 15 restaurants offer everything from Tex-Mex through to haute cuisine. It also has the most shops and clubs. Les Arcs 1600, and 1800 have just a handful of restaurants, although the big hotels do have restaurants. Alternative activities include hang-gliding, paragliding, husky dog and sleigh rides.

WE LIKE

  • A wide variety of pistes and easily accessed off-piste terrain
  • Fast cable-car link to La Plagne to increase the challenges and terrain
  • Some excellent woodland runs and trails to enjoy

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Original village centres lack charm, and aren't always so convenient
  • Few off-slope diversions and the crowds in the high season are pretty horrendous
  • Very quiet in the evenings and limited choice of bars/restaurants
