ABOUT LES ARCS
Located within the massive Paradiski area, Les Arcs offers over 425km of pistes winding through 300-year-old Swiss stone pine forests. The resort is composed of four distinct, purpose-built villages—Arc 1600, Arc 1800, Arc 1950, and Arc 2000—each sitting at a different altitude and offering a unique atmosphere. Les Arcs has taken the 'ski-in, ski-out' concept to a whole new level, designed specifically to maximize time on the snow. It is also home to an engineering marvel: the Vanoise Express. This double-decker cable car, one of the largest in the world, transports 200 people at a time, seamlessly connecting Les Arcs to La Plagne.
Paradiski Area: Access a massive playground of 425km of snow-sure slopes shared with La Plagne.

TOP THINGS TO DO IN LES ARCS
Adventure & Nature Les Arcs is a paradise for thrill-seekers. Beyond skiing, you can try speed riding, paragliding, or the unique sport of skijoring (being pulled on skis by a horse). For nature lovers, the Mountain Animal Museum is a fantastic educational stop, displaying 30 local species—perfect for filling your holiday photo album. Gastronomy For a sophisticated yet hearty French meal, we highly recommend L'Escale Gourmande. The staff is incredibly friendly, and their desserts are an absolute must-try, even if you don't usually have a sweet tooth. For an authentic Savoyard experience, visit the hidden gem Le Dream Spot in Arc 1800. Its cozy setting makes it very popular, so booking is essential. Après-Ski & Nightlife The party starts on the slopes at La Folie Douce. With resident DJs and a vibrant atmosphere, it's accessible even to non-skiers via the Villards gondola. They often extend lift opening hours until 8:00 PM, allowing you to soak up the vibes without worrying about getting home. For late-night fun, head to El Latino Loco in Arc 2000 or the legendary Apokalypse club in Arc 1800 to dance the night away.
