So what's it like?
A wonderful modern ski resort filled with inspiring skiing
Les Arcs offers modern accommodation and some awe-inspiring skiing. Slopes vary from wooded runs to high altitude skiing on the glacier. Skiing opportunities do not end in Les Arc as you can explore the whole of La Plagne and the massive 'Paradiski' area with 425km of pistes! Our accommodation is found in 5 villages: Arc 1800 with its lively atmosphere, Arc 2000 with skiing to and from the doorstep, Arc 1600 with its village atmosphere, newly built but traditionally styled Arc 1950 and Peisey-Vallandry, closest to La Plagne giving speedy access to the whole of Paradiski.
