Les arcs

Les Arcs ski resort is situated in the middle of the Tarentaise valley, surrounded by the nearby resorts of Meribel, Courchevel, Val Thorens, Val d'Isere and Tignes.  It is linked to La Plagne creating the Paradiski domain, by the Vanoise Express cable car, which opens up an enormous 425km of pisted ski area begging to be explored!

Les Arcs is the perfect ski resort if you are looking for convenience.  Due to its purpose built nature, the slopes, bars and restaurants are never too far away.  Les Arcs is made up of four small village resorts, all with their own character and feel.  Arc 1800 is renowned for its lively atmosphere, where as Arc 2000 is perfectly positioned next to the piste to offer easy snow sure ski access. 1950 is the newest of the four, but has the more traditional and rustic feel, and lastly 1600 has a village feel and has even been classified as a heritage site.
