Overview of Les Arcs

Les Arcs forms part of the Paradiski ski area which also includes La Plagne and Peisey-Vallandry. Lovers of Les Arcs may have many superlatives to describe it, but one that everyone will agree on is definitely 'unique'. This applies to everything from the unique design of the four high-altitude villages, Arcs 1600, 1800, 1950 and 2000, to the resort’s eco-credentials. These include a funicular linking Arc 1600 to the town of Bourg Saint Maurice at the bottom of the mountain.

Described as a 'time-capsule of imaginative Modernist Seventies architecture', Les Arcs accommodation includes sloping corridors, staggered balconies and buildings that curve in sympathy with the mountains. Arc 1950, built only a few years ago by American company Intrawest, has been described as an alpine Disneyland. Overall, it offer great access to the skiing pretty much wherever you are staying.

Les Arcs skiing too is pretty unique for its unusually well-proportioned mix of slopes and varied terrain, plus it's easy to reach off-piste, making it a perfect option for a mixed ability group ski holiday. If you’re after nightlife, Arc 1800 bucks the trend with plenty of parties to choose from, but you will also find a good choice of bars in all the villages.

3 Things We Love About Les Arcs

  1. Extensive skiing - One half of the vast Paradiski area, with 425km of piste linked by the fast Vanoise Express chairlift.
  2. Almost unrivalled variety of runs - Known for everything from wooded beginner runs to high-altitude skiing, variety is the key to the enduring popularity of Les Arcs.
  3. Good option for freeskiers and snowboarders with its large, with plenty of jumps and rails.
