Arc 1800
The main resort and very popular due to its ski-in, ski-out convenience,
friendly arcades housing shops, some lively bars and restaurants, and
incredibly easy access to either altitude skiing in the Arc 2000 bowl or
long, tree lined red and blue runs down to the unspoilt hamlet of Peisey
Nancroix, or, in the other direction, to Arc 1600m. Hotel du Golf is our
firm favourite, set right on the slopes in front of the children’s ski
garden and lifts, serving superb food and boasting live jazz. There is
also a great choice of self-catering apartments. A popular resort, too,
for snowboarders with a dedicated Funpark between 1800 and 1600.
Les Arcs
1800m - 3220m
The areas around Arc 1600 and 1800 are excellent for beginners. Ski
Evolutif classes are perfectly suited to the beginner who wants to learn
to ski competently in a short time. There are wonderful runs through the
trees below Arc 1600, plenty of wide runs higher up, and some devilish
runs such as the Roulles for challenge seekers and the highest slopes
are ideal for good skiers.
