Discover the Beautiful Les Arcs
Les Arcs is located in the Savoie Department of France, and specifically in Bourg-Saint-Maurice’s town named Tarentaise Valley. The resort belongs to the giant Paradiski system with a largely varied collection of slopes. The skiing area here is connected with its neighbor resort, La Plagne.
You can choose to go from Lyon to Les Arcs directly, or opt for a route from Lyon to La Plagne first, followed by a transfer to Les Arcs, depending on your travel preferences and itinerary.
The original village of Les Arcs is 1600, and later came the Arc 1800, which is a few kilometers away from it. You can get to it from Arc 1600 using a shuttle bus, and there’s also the Arc 2000. The resort has developed a more chalet, low-rise style, which includes the Arc 1950.
There’s a quick lift system here with many fast chairs to take you around the ski area, and the reliability of snow here is great. You’ll find runs of more than 2000 meters here. In addition, you will see stunning views to La Rosière and Mont Blanc.
Arcs 2000, 1950, and 1600 here are quite compact and suitable for people visiting with families. You’ll find Arc 1800 to be fairly spread out with apartments a bit distant from the center. There’s also a great selection of restaurants and bars here.
Skiing in Les Arcs Resort
The ski area in Les Arcs has a maximum altitude of 3226 meters, however, the good pistes here are quite low. These lie between 1600 meters and 2400 meters. This makes the resort perfect for skiing during the mid of winter. The low slopes here will suit the intermediate skiers. You will find the slopes to be confidence-boosting, broad, and well-groomed.
The storms and clouds add details to the slopes here, so you will be able to have fun while people in Tignes and Val Thorens retreat indoors. If you’re confident with your skiing skills, you can take on the Aiguille Rouge peaking at 3226 meters and dropping down to Villaroger at twelve-hundred meters. That is over two thousand meters vertical drop in one drop.
You will enjoy the snow most once a blizzard has passed during the morning time. That is, provided that the piste-bashers have groomed the pistes. If you’re a beginner, the best place for you would be the Arc 2000, but it can get fairly crowded during the winter holiday season.
