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.

This resort was amazing! The first time I have been skiing and there was so much on offer for beginners. The blue runs through the trees were amazing and you could go up to the dome to ski. The accommodation was brilliant with lots of food on offer and an amazing indoor/outdoor swimming pool & sauna. I wish to return

The resort is a great size. Sometimes feels like the runs are a little disconnected but if you are a competent skier it’s possible to ski from 1600 to 2000 and back. Make sure to look out for the sign posts as they are not always clear.

Ski schools are great but the bus is the only way up so you have to rely on the bus timetables and good road conditions. We had one day we weren’t able to get up to 2000 which is where the lessons were. The ski school supreme ski were amazing!

We stayed in town and got the funicular up each day which takes 8 minutes and runs every 20 minutes.

Lots of blues and some really lovely long blue runs. Few of them have a steeper bit at the end but all in all a great resort which I would visit again, would just hope for better visibility and blue skys next time.

Get up early and get first lift to make the most of the day.

Altiport has great food and great vibes for a more chilled experience.
Owner Stephan is lovely and remembers us every time we come !
1800 nice place to stay and slightly less expensive than 2000 and 1950

Les Arcs is an enormous, well serviced ski area with some of the best lifts in the business. It offers a huge amount to intermediate and advanced riders. The resort is friendly and offers some of the best apres in the world - Le Folie Douce - is phenomenal as an apres bar with dancers, singers and entertainment. Les Arc is slick and well run.

Went as a group of friends in Feb.
Had not been skiing for over 10 years so slightly worried about the variety of runs but there was a great selection of
Intermediate runs.
No massive queues for ski lifts which was great and slopes were generally well kept.
Great apres ski - pricey but no more than would expect being on the slopes.
Only down point was the buses never seeming to run to their scheduled time.

We loved Les Arcs 2000 & will definitely be back. It suited our group with runs for a mix of abilities.
We’d not done half board before but it worked out brilliantly and would look at this again for our next holiday.

A really enjoyable week in Les Arc, the runs were brilliant and not too busy.

Plenty of fresh snow did lead to 5/5 avalanche risk but the hotel was comfy and there are plenty of places to eat and drink.

Will be back again.

Been here most years - one of the widest resorts with best variety for intermediate skiers. Great runs, very modern and fast lifts / gondolas. Well connected.

Have been skiing in Les Arcs twice with a large group of friends, great selection of slopes to all different levels.
I took some classes too, instructors were friendly and knowledgeable.
Resort is a little expensive, but honestly nothing exorbitant compared to others.
Overall had a great time and definitely can recommend for both friend groups or even families (saw a lot and there was plenty around for the little ones too). Will be back myself next season!

The resort is amazing and so easy to get around thanks to the shuttles and lift coverage. Theres so many small villages scattered around the resort which gives plenty of food options.

Great for a beginner with loads of greens and blues to try. I went in February it was fairly busy but the queues for the lifts were rarely too long.

A resort very well oriented to families and newer skiers. The more advanced skiing is good but most of it is off-piste and you have to know where to go.

Booked the resort last minute but excellent value for money, the ski area is absolutely insane and can ski into la plange. Apres is great with the folly but if you are staying in 2000 or 1950 then need to get the last lift over into the next valley. Would definitely come back tho, really enjoyed the trip.

I love Les Arcs. I’ve been time and time again - way up high so you only see Snow in the Arc 2000 bowl, three main villages to stay in, you can flip sides of the mountain to get the best snow at the best time of day and if you run out of Les Arc runs you can hop on the Transarc to La Plagne

For a group of 25 year olds the resort was perfect. Massive amounts of slopes to ski on with great apres and bar options for the evenings as well. Food and drinks were well priced and the hotel didn’t break the bank. Would definitely return

We arrived mid march to a fresh dumping of snow, pistes and runs were absolutely incredible for this time of year, with glorious weather to match.

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.
