Les Arcs Reviews & Ratings

A fabulous resort with lots to offer including Le Plagne ski area. Variety of slopes with nice tree lined runs in 1800 and 1600 as well as down to Peisey and Vallandry. Augille Rouge lift to above 2000 has some great runs at the top of if your not feeling that a lovely long cruisey blue from the top of Varet lift instead. Most apres is on the 1800 side but a bus takes you to all altitudes and villages. Great apres at L’Arpette followed by either last lifts home of a sunset session at Folie Douce. Les Arcs has it all and is great for families and one of the more budget friendly options in the Alps

Great resort. Lots of runs and options for eating on the mountain. Decent nightlife and good lifts.

Lots of different places to visit on the mountain with some great blues and reds . No blacks for me but were available . Folie Douce apres ski fab !

Les Arcs was a great all round resort! I stayed in 1800 and it had a good range of different levels of accommodation from budget to luxury. Plenty of ski equipment rental shops to choose from along with shops to buy gear too. Lots of options for eating out again ranging from budget to luxury. Including on the mountain too. But they also had a few supermarkets for self catering needs which was great. Plenty of fun bars and a few clubs for those post ski nights out! Apres wasn’t quite the level of some of the other famous resorts but we still found a good spot everyday and could enjoy drinks and a dance on the tables. The runs themselves were long and winding which I enjoy, snowpark was lots of fun even for beginners and I loved taking the gondola all the way to the top to take the longest combination of runs down! Overall I think a great starter resort or a good all rounder for groups with people of different capabilities!

Great place and links to la planned large ski area. Club med was a good all inclusive option. Good option of terrain for beginners all the way to expert

The resort has a large amount of runs (linked with La Plagne) and very short lift queues even in school holidays. There’s not much variety in the restaurants and most of the accommodation is self catering and a bit dated but it still has some charm.

Les Arc is a snow sure family skiing resort that offers excellent skiing opportunities for all levels of skiers. Les Arc 1950 is a gem for dining out and really brings a sense of luxury. Can't wait to go back!

Superbe station, nous avons logé au village de Courbaton très proche d'Arcs 1600. Courbaton dispose de vastes et superbes appartements avec vue magnifique.
Côté ski grande variété avec de très belles noires mais aussi des plus facile. Le domaine est reliée à la plagne villaroger Pesey (425 km de pistes). On y skie des glaciers aux pommiers (2000 mètres de dénivelé).
Des restaurants sympa en station et sur les pistes.

Huge area if you get the Paradiski pass. Great variety of runs, many treelined, something for everyone. Well maintained runs & lifts. Which part you stay in depends on your budget, accommodation preferences & needs. 1950 nice but expensive, 2000 ugly but OK. As it's France more expensive than average. Mountain food OK. Apres ski subdued.

Great location at 1950….. snowsure for the season
Lovely car free village with evenings very pleasant to walk around
Underground car parking not cheap / it never is,,,
Good variation of bars and restaurants
I will return this year

Spent a week skiing Les Arcs/La Plagne recently. Stayed in Bourg St Maurice and used the frequent funicular to ski from Les Arcs 1600. Worth considering as there is plenty of choice of authentic cheaper restaurants and bars down in Bourg in the evenings. Liveliest venue is the Hotel Base Camp which also runs the Arpette bar/restaurant on the mountain between 1600 & 1800.

The skiing was great. Pistes well managed and pisted. I was impressed with the double decker cable car link between Les Arcs/La Plagne and the access runs had been worked on every day to maintain good conditions (much better than last time I was there and it was a trial skiing to the link!).

Overall a good week.

Stayed at Arc 1950...
I watched this resort develop and get built years ago and returned pre xmas week
This self contained resort had a very comfortable feel with all amenities literally within 100m of accomodation for everyone staying in the resort.
The pre xmas street entertainment which from literature received since is a regular occurence and is very pleasant to be part of. Plenty of bars and eateries to suit varied prices.
The resort is high with a good snow record.
The village is literally ski in and out for all residents.
Paradiski system ( of which 1950 belongs ) offers an extensive amount of ski runs to suit all tastes. Good lift connectivity and the Transarc ( a relatively new bubble ) allows late access to the 1950 valley from one lift out of Les Arc 1600....
A great location and would recommend.

Surprised by the sheer quantity , variety (and quality) of pistes in Les Arcs and La Plagne. We were impressed!

Black runs have not been pisted for a
Long time so very moguly with chopped up lines of sight. Otherwise an excellent all round resort very well signed with plenty of skiing to keep all levels happy

A varied extensive ski area with something for all levels of ability.
Well liked and efficient lift system
Accommodation to suit all budgets

Had a great week skiing including couple of days in La Plagne
Lovely apartment in Résidence Prestige Odalys Edenarc.
Quiet area with only 1 shop and 1 restaurant but easy access to main town by cable car

We have been visiting Les Arcs for a number of years now. The groomed pistes are vast with over 300 kilometres of slopes. Off piste is both beautiful and fun. It is a very family friendly resort but also has plenty on offer for adults. It is also pretty snow sure due to its height.

First time skiing Les Arcs, and based in Arc 1950. This is a beautiful wee village, car free, with nothing but ski-in/ski-out accommodation, and enough restaurants to keep you fed for a week. Not much of a loud apres scene - if that's your think then Arc 1800 is probably a better choice. From a skiing perspective, my impression of Les Arcs is that they leave too many runs ungroomed overnight, leading to lots of mogul covered reds and blacks. In fact, the only black we found that wasn't covered in moguls was sheet ice instead. This is in contrast to the 3 Valleys which grooms most of its blacks every second night, so if you like steep but smooth, you get catered for. On the plus side, Les Arcs operates an innovative express queue for several lifts which you get access to if you have a full Paradiski (Les Arcs + La Plagne) lift pass. We were there for the third week of January and found crowds not too bad - there were some deserted runs where you could open up the throttle and have a bit of fun, but also some real bottlenecks where you were struggling to make your way through the crowds. February will presumably be even worse in this respect. Overall, not a bad resort, with some good runs and fantastic views across to Mont Blanc, but I probably won't be rushing back to ski here again.

Have been there multiple times and have loved it each time, although as I have got older, the spares part has been missing

A great resort linked to La Plagne. Really good mix of groomed and ungroomed piste, and plenty of off piste when snow conditions allow.
