Les Arcs

Les Arcs

If you haven’t been on a holiday to Les Arcs you are missing out on one of France’s most underrated resorts. Just a ten minute funicular ride from the valley town of Bourg Saint Maurice, the awe inspiring view down the Tarentaise Valley is worth the visit alone.

The domain local to Les Arcs is 200kms in total and is one of the most varied areas your are likely to find. Fabulous tree-lined runs descend into the outlying villages of Vallandry and Villaroger. A huge basin of steep pistes and natural gullies surrounds the purpose built Arc 2000 with easy access to the Aiguille Rouge glacier where one of Europe’s longest black runs and the infamous speed skiing piste can be attempted. Add to this the wide cruising moterway pistes above Arc1800 and you have a truelly unique experience. For those that want to look further a field you can upgrade to a Paradsiki pass which includes access to La Plagne via the incredible Vanoise Express lift. The upgrade can be purchased for the entire week or, as we would recommend, a one day excursion to the Bellecote glacier.

All of our accommodation is in Arc 1800, the most popular choice of destination for the younger end of the market. We offer apartments throughout the village all of which are similar in standard and due to the compact nature of the resort you are always close to both the slopes and the resort facilities.
