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.

Great ski in ski out accomodation at 2000. Lots of mountain cafe options at standard prices. Powder days are great. Big area to explore so no danger of getting bored.

Lots of runs great for intermediate skiers with many red runs that arent too hard. We did have one person snow boarding she found the blue runs a bit flat so this made it hard for her. With the option of going over to la plagne there was endless skiing available. The apres was ok, follie was as expected pricey and didnt serve vodka after 4pm which was disappointing. The apres in arc 1800 village was non existent the nights we were down there seemed more of a pub/restaurant calm vibe down there.

Stayed in 1950, ski in ski out was a real bonus. New year celebrations were very good. Not a lot for non skiers but out hotel had great wellness centre with pool and sauna. Pistes were well groomed and lots of wide open pistes

Went in 2023, and overall it was a great resort, especially as you have access to a range of runs in both the Les arcs and le plagne side. Good variety of small villages with a range of restaurants also. Great for beginners like myself, and also enough reds/blacks to keep my more advanced friends occupied also.

We were a mixed group of abilities and the numerous gondolas made the mountain accessible to all.The sunshine slopes of 1800 were appreciated. Lots of nice wide runs for my fairly new skill level

Excellent resort with an abundance of runs. Ski lifts everywhere and most have a choice of different runs that all meet so skiers/boarders can choose different options and still meet at the bottom.Groomed pistes, off-piste to die for (not literally!) wide variety of runs including some excellent (and predominantly empty) tree-lined runs that go on for miles.Excellent routes overtake to Vallandry and a short gondola over to La Plagne where you can explore even more runs!Definitely one of my all time favourite resorts!

Les Arcs is a beautiful resort to ski, everywhere you look youre surrounded by mountains including the iconic Mount Blanc. There are endless options of pistes, ranging from easy blues to natural black runs. Any level of skier should be able to find lots of suitable runs to enjoy. The queues for the lifts are almost non existent (at least in early January), and there are plenty of them. A week feels like a long time to ski the same area if youre a fast skier, but there are so many lifts and options, a week is probably not enough time to ski every piste. If you do manage to though, the area is connected to La Plagne by a cable car, which gives you access to another gigantic ski area. I would definitely recommend Les Arcs.
