What Skiers Say About Les Arcs

Les Arcs attracts a wide range of skiers and snowboarders, from beginners to experts, with intermediate skiers being particularly well-served. Reviewers consistently mention the vast ski area, especially when linked with La Plagne via the Paradiski pass, offering extensive terrain that prevents boredom over a week. The lift system is generally praised for efficiency and minimal queuing, though some mention increased crowds in recent years due to new all-inclusive hotels. Après-ski receives positive feedback, particularly venues like Folie Douce and L'Arpette in Arc 1800. Several users note good value compared to other French resorts, convenient access via funicular from Bourg-St-Maurice, and reliable snow conditions due to altitude. Common criticisms include limited nightlife and restaurant options in some villages (particularly Arc 2000), crowded narrow sections on certain runs, and an abundance of flat connecting tracks that frustrate snowboarders.

Went as a group of young people for a week and really enjoyed it. The drinks are quite expensive, but other than that the runs and well groomed and amazing, there are options for both less and more confident riders. The party scene was incredible and food in restaurants very tasty.

Had the best time skiing as a family in Les Arcs. As a family of various skiing abilities, we found everyone could be comfortable skiing on runs for their ability, whilst the more experienced skiers could always find exciting, challenging runs !

Beautiful well cared for resort, suitable for all levels, particularly new skiers or kids as you can cover the whole area on easy blues. We stayed near the vanoise, giving access to La Plagne and doubling the area size. Kids loved the snow parks and the lifts are all fairly new and efficient. Used ESF for both group and private lessons for the kids, and inter sport for ski hire.

Have now stayed in Arc 1800 and 2000, both All inclusive. Really enjoyed the stays in the hotel, no searching around at night for a restaurant meaning you can concentrate on enjoying the skiing knowing the evening is already sorted.
You are spoilt for choice with the skiing, so many different pistes over such a large area. Loved the day trip to explore La Plagne, working out which lifts to use to get there and back.
For something different, head for the snow cross tracks, so much fun. Not a fan of jumps so avoided the snow park but was jealous of those brave enough to have fun on the park. Would have loved the chance to ski down from Aguile Rouge, but on both holidays it was always closed due to strong winds etc.
On the whole it’s a fantastic resort that will appeal to all levels of ability and would definitely return again.
On the whole, a cracking resort to

What a great resort! So many slopes and lifts! One week is almost enough to explore all of the routes and if you have enough time you can pop over to La Plagne. Nice choice of apres ski locations and places to eat. Actually nice choice of food, not just fries and burgers, but you can have a nice nutritious meal on the slopes.

We love Les Arcs. Great for family skiing. Ski Schools are perfect. huge ski area with plenty of gentle and steeper blues. My kids love the red runs. Whilst being quite high, it gets great snow later in the season. With four resorts and access to a further two, it's great fun to plan a trip starting higher / sunnier slopes and then move over to another side of the mountains to catch the best snow in the afternoons (once the ice has melted but not slushy or sticky). It can get quite busy in easter, but we never waited for long to get a on lift (no more than 5 mins).

Stayed on Arc 1600 as a beginner snowboarder. Probably a tougher place to start learning with not many flatter slopes. Arc 2000 or 1950 better for beginners. But was still great with very short lift queues.
Restaraunts, bars and shops close kind of early so no later night options.
Recommend Arc 1800 for younger adults with apres ski and party vibe. Great access with gondola to top of mountain and able to ski to the other resorts and fields.

Have been to Les Arcs several times and it’s where I learnt to snowboard. Very good selection of runs and I would recommend as a place to learn as you can easily progress on different types of runs to your learning speed.
Lift system is good, reliable and safe. .

A fantastic group trip. Plenty of blue and red runs for us all to enjoy. The snow park has been further improved to include a range of abilities. Went last year and again this year and great snow. Always have to end at La Folie Douche!

Huge ski area, going from Les Arcs to La Plagne was very easy and it was very quiet too. Lift lines were quick and weather was great. Lots of food choices and gorgeous towns.

Stayed at Arc2000, really easy to get to via Eurostar and the resorts are all connected via free coaches, really handy.

Resort was friendly (I was on my own), decent food options at good prices and lots of grocery options.

Scenery was absolutely stunning, beautiful mountain ranges and excellent lift systems, never queued even at peak times.

Would definitely recommend Les Arcs.
