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.

Mainly blue runs and minimal green so better for people with a little experience. However I learnt for the first time here and still had a great time on some nice easy blues. Great folie and bars.

Amazing slopes. I went in the very beginning of the season, so there weren't that many people and you could really go all out on the pistes. However, the off piste snow wasn't good.

Excellent resort with plenty expert slopes and some fantastic tree runs. Arc 2000 night life wasn't the best but 1800 very good.

Has to be up there with the top resorts in France. With access to the three valleys, you feel like you don’t need to ski the same run twice. Great apres- plenty of bars and all within walking distance. Restaurants, bakeries, several supermarkets and plenty of options on the slopes. Abit on the pricier side for spending out but wouldn’t hesitate to go back

Great family holiday. Les Arcs combines affordability with high altitude skiing. Our best ski holiday so far with plenty to entertain my 4 kids ranging from 19 to 11.

I’ve been to Les Arc (specifically 1800) a few times now and I always enjoy myself. The resort is definitely good value for money and it’s not the biggest so it’s nice and calm most of the time (except for apres thankfully) Also, If you’re a high level skier I definitely recommend getting the paradiski lift pass upgrade.

Was one of the best resorts I’ve been to, can’t wait to go again! As a beginner it was very welcoming and the ski school got me on my feet and I was able to enjoy myself.

Fantastic resort with great apres in Folie Douce. Great sections of off piste, and a great mix for beginners.
We stayed in Arc 1800 and it was great with bars and restaurants nearby and a lot of activities to offer

We stayed in Les Arcs 1950 - ski in ski out. Absolutely brilliant resort - we can now avoid school holidays so rarely queued for a lift and the slopes were in the main fairly quiet. Brilliant intermediate skiing, lots of lovely long blues and reds with fabulous catering options. Would definitely return.

The resort was my first time back skiing after 10 years and despite there being a lot of red slopes, it is all very wide and easy to navigate. 10/10 for building confidence and for the vibes

Excellent trip to Les Arcs early in the season, quiet prior to Christmas and the Pistes were well groomed every day.
Good variation of runs suitable for all, can venture over to La Plagne easily if you want more.

Great Ski resort with a bit of everything. The apres was one of the best I’ve experienced. The guy with the saxophone knows how to keep the part going. The ski resort itself is very pretty and not as big as others but has great runs for all levels. Definitely a gem of a ski resort.

We've recently come back from Les Arcs. Resort had a variety of ski runs for all levels. Easy access to Le Plagne. Tried sledging down Luge 2000 which was great. Plenty of bars, restaurants and take out for all budgets. Shuttles between resorts were regular and free. Great for families, couples and solos. Great time had by all, would definitley recommend Les Arcs and would return to the resort
