LES ARCS - OVERVIEW
Les Arcs 2000 offers some of the best skiing and snowsure slopes in Europe. Linked with the Paradiski, the ski area is the 4th largest in France. This "new generation" of ski resorts offers high altitude skiing with pleasant chalet-style architecture and all our properties offer pool, sauna and ski to door facilities.
Les Arcs 2000 is a new ski village with pretty chalet-style buildings, convenience skiing and boarding and afriendly atmosphere. It has been designed for skiers and boarders in mind - rather than having sprouted up from a traditional alpine village, like so many awkward ski resorts. It therefore has everything that you will want, and very close to hand!
An excellent range of family facilities, ski to door access, wooden chalet style buildings, a cafe culture and lively apres ski with pool and sauna help mark this as the new wave of ski resort. Our chalets are part of the popular chalet des neiges residence which offer ski to door, pool and sauna - for value prices.
THE FAMOUS PARADISKI
The exciting fact about Les Arcs is that it is now linked directly with the neighbouring super resort La Plagne via a cable car that has been built to span the valley between these two resorts. Les Arcs therefore offers a huge ski area called Paradiski (4th largest in Europe) with 17 alpine villages and 450+ kilometres of slopes! This resort is particularly suited to family skiing holidays, (and snowboarding for that matter!), due to its large ski area and easily accessed green and blue runs.
BOARDING IN LES ARCS
Les Arcs is one of the most rounded snowboard resorts in the world with an extensive network of slopes for all abilities, and several ski areas and alpine villages offering the ultimate in variety throughout your week stay. The ski pass accesses all areas very easily and promises value for all levels of skier and boarder.
The resort of Les Arcs has solid roots in Snowboard history. It is the home-resort of many Pro's and from where the Regis Roland A Boards team originated. The Snow park is very well kept and alot of thought and effort has gone into its huge array of jumps and hand rails, baby rails and small learner jumps.
Les Arcs is also one of those resorts that doesn't seem to get tracked so quickly the morning after a powder dump. Pockets of fresh snow can always be found and of course the summit to base descents are unbeatable in new snow - offering wide, open powder fields and long rides down. We always recommend off piste guiding for guests wanting to experience fresh tracks, further afield from the main resort areas.
SKIING IN LES ARCS
Like the snowboarding, the skiing is very varied and suited to all abilities. English speaking beginner ski schools and a network of easier and more progressive slopes enable everyone to get out and enjoy the full extent of the mountain.
BEGINNER BOARDING - LES ARCS
Beginner and child facilities for both skiers and boarders are unsurpassed in Les Arcs - especially up at Arc 2000 which plays host to a lot of local beginner slopes and English speaking schools on the doorstep of most residences up there. We offer a learn to snowboard package for all abilities, whether you are a seasoned powder guru or novice rider.
LES ARCS RESORT LIFE
Les Arcs offers something for all, with more hedonistic night-life and apres ski venues up at the top end of Arcs 2000, whilst the new Arcs 1950 (accessed by carousel or a 10 min walk from our chalets) offers more chic and trendy restaurants.
