The Skiers' Guide to Les Arcs

Skies her for the opening week of the season, meaning uncrowded runs and zero queuing for lifts. Perfect conditions for skiers like me who try to maximises the amount of skiing done during the trip.

Plenty of great off pistes available and easy to navigate. Some more high level off pistes are also easily accessible with a guide. Loved my stay here and would come again in a heartbeat.

Great resort not a lot of people during first two weeks of December but no powder snow. Good aprés and good nightlife

Amazing! We had a fantastic week staying in Les Arcs 1900. Skied all over and loved the area so much.

I love Les Arc, great lift system and choice of pistes. The snow park is awesome and I was able to build up to the biggest kickers I’ve ever done. It’s worth dropping into Les Arc 1950 as it is very picturesque.

I had the best time here! Ski school was amazing, I learnt valuable tips to last me a life time. Overall atmosphere is great!

Absolute snowboarders paradise. Great ski/snowboard holiday destination. Always thoroughly enjoyed myself. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Great experience, snow wasn't perfect but so many options at different heights on either side of the mountain 1600, 1800, 1950, 2000. Great options to eat at most of the villages and decent apres ski. Had a day trip via the cabriolet to Peisey-Vallandry which was excellent. Very easy to move between sectors and resorts, I'll be back!

Beautiful views. Amazing skiing and snow. Huge amount of terrain for all ability levels. Off piste was out of this world.

Amazing resort, great for families and mixed groups.
We go back to 2000 again and again.
The Savoy will always be the best meeting place and Folie Douce easy to get to.

Have always loved Les Arc and the vast ski area it covers, love the tree runs and the wide piste available.

Arc 1950 is picture perfect, right on the pistes and well connected. Whole resort is excellent and huge enough to not get bored in a week at least! Excellent restaurant/bar stops on the slopes - would definitely return

Lots of runs. Good snow. Attractive scenery - lots of trees. Good mountain huts. Nice self-catered accommodation. Perfect for families.

Superb ski in/ski out location at 1950. Beautifully maintained and groomed slopes. Excellent and varied places to eat out. Well stocked Carrefour. Excellent piste shuttle bus between 1600/1800/1950. Good variety of ski schools. Ideal location for mixed levels of ability.

Our group travelled by car (clothes and all ski equipment) and plane (mainly for ease with the little ones). Good accommodation in 1950 with ski passes and some ski lessons booked in advance. In/out skiing with a great choice of runs. A trip to ‘Folly D’ and eating out in some very nice, helpful eateries. We enjoyed great weather and to top it off- our 3 year old grandson loved his first taste and wants more.

Plenty of runs and things to do outside of being on the slopes. Great apres scene and restaurants. Plenty of connecting lifts to get to other resorts

A great ski area, varied levels of skiing for all abilities. Linked to La Plagne to form a huge ski area. If conditions are good, there are lots of tree lined runs lower down, though can get a bit slushy/sparse if it warms up. Great high altitude skiing on the upper slopes.

I had an amazing week solo skiing in les arcs. The ski area is massive and I found lots of places to explore. People were friendly, the lifts were fast and there’s even the option to take the cable car to a new ski area. Would recommend.

We went late in the ski season for a last minute trip so knew the snow wouldn’t be predictable, but lucked out and had a huge storm before arriving. Given the height of the resort we managed to ski in ski out all the way through Easter. Found great self catering options if you’re looking to go on a budget. Mostly stuck to groomed runs which were kept on great condition due to being late season. Fabulous on mountain dining. Would be aware of the trail/ lift maps to make sure you don’t get stuck on one side and can still ski out to your accommodation. Would definitely return

Loved this resort. We went mid March and it was nice and quiet. It’s probably better for intermediate and advanced skiers, la plagne across the valley is probably better for beginners.

There’s a huge range of areas for off piste skiing, some great apres bars and some stunning villages to explore. Les arcs 1950 is one of the most unique villages worth exploring.

As my first ski holiday this was fabulous! There was loads of beginner-friendly runs as well as more to do outside of skiing or snowboarding
