Les Arcs is a brilliant ski resort; the slopes offer a great variety and some of the longest descents in the Alps. There is an excellent area of woodland runs and great cruising mixed with some hard core steep stuff. The Vanoise Express link with La Plagne means a truly vast terrain to explore - 425km in total in the Paradiski ski area.
The resort is made up of four villages, linked by road, high above the town of Bourg-St-Maurice. The villages are purpose-built, offer doorstop access to the snow, friendly après-ski and spectacular views of Mont Blanc.
Arc 1600 was the birthplace of Les Arcs, perched right on the mountainside enjoying south-westerly exposure throughout the season, ensuring perfect snow conditions. A real family resort, Arc 1600 is the perfect balance of tradition, modern practicality, intimacy and friendliness.
The Arc 1800 villages are the liveliest of the resort. Built in harmony with surrounding forests, Arc 1800 boasts shopping centres and extensive entertainment as well as a high performance ski lift taking you straight to the heart of Paradiski.
The new ski in/ski out village of Arc 1950 is situated right by a 300-year old pine forest and faces Mont Blanc. Three ski lifts provide direct access to Arc 1600, 1800 and 2000.
Arc 2000 is the departure point for the highest summits, providing direct access to the glacier runs and exceptional winter sports possibilities. This is the place for thrill seekers!

Good aprs ski in Arc 1800, more limited in Arc 2000 but nevertheless chic and cheerful. Red Hot Saloon Bar with live music in 1800, Blue Bar for a lively, informal atmosphere and more live music in 2000. Discos include the Apocalypse in 1800 and the KL92 in Arc 2000.

Good choice in Arc 1800 - although fewer restaurants to chose from in Arc 1600 and 2000. Meat or cheese fondue for around 30 Euros including wine and dessert. Marloup for tasty fish dishes, Bellefume for grills, Red Rock Bar for great burgers. Try Gargantus in 1800 for regional dishes, St Jacques in Arc 2000 for French ambiance or the Triangle Noir for pizzas and local specialities or try Casa Mia.

Paragliding Floodlit skiing (1800 and 2000) Ice rink (1800 and 2000) Good shopping (particularly for buying ski equipment) in Bourg-St-Maurice and we enjoy the quaint French Saturday markets. There is also a public pool in this town or you could travel and visit the Beaufort dairy. The ice grotto is good at the top of the Transarc, which pedestrians can reach.

All resorts have ski schools for children from as young as 3 and a good selection of nurseries are offered. The children's area at 1800 has a moving carpet lifts, a sledging track and a climbing wall.
