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.

Apres at Arpette and Folie Douce always a great time, with plenty of food choices in the town for evening.
We stayed at Eden Arc which is self catering, right opposite folie and 50m from the first chair lift.
We stayed in Les Arcs 1950 in a residence which was central, perfectly equipped and great value for money. I loved the access to sauna, pool and hamam options and there were many really great touches like being able to hire a fondue or raclette kit.
The locker system for storing ski equipment was well organised too.
I loved that you could ski directly from the hotel to the pistes which was practical and saved so much time.
The village is clean, friendly, well looked after and safe.
The restaurants are of a good quality and the staff in all of them (especially Chalet de Luigi) are exceptionally friendly.
Really good accommodation
Been 3 times and will go again.
