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.

Stayed in 1950, which we loved, quality of accommodation, locality of restaurants all really good. Food at all restaurants top quality.
skiing over the hill at 1600 & 1800 our preferred and very easily accessible from 1950. One of our group had accident; medical availability all brilliant. Buses and Funicular really good service.
We're going back next year!


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.



People great. Snow in april was standard but still lots of it. Food great. Village arc 1950 loads of fun kids out on sledges all night. Loved it.


Lift system is good, reliable and safe. .




Big variety of slopes and loads of tree runs, but not much snow park access (at least at the time we went)
Decent variety of restaurants and night life but nothing major, again could have just been the time of year we went!
One of the great things was the spa /leisure centre, nothing like a sauna and spa to unwind after a long day on the mountain.
Night life and restaurants is a bit limited. Variety of runs is good and off piste and tree runs is really good as long as recent snowfall.
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.
