Sarah Fox - Sales Director"The best of both; fantastic, wide open, high mountain skiing above Arcs 2000 with an abundance of blue & red tree-lined runs from Arc 1800"LES ARCS
Les Arcs sits right on the edge of the Vanoise National Park. The breathtaking setting gives you some truly wonderful views of the surrounding peaks and mountain landscapes. Les Arcs is a purpose built resort and is made up of four separate villages, Arc 1600, Arc 1800, Arc 1950 and Arc 2000 all of which are linked and offer you doorstep access to the Paradiski ski area. The Vanoise Express is a double decker, glass bottom cable car that allows you to explore the nearby resort of La Plagne for those that really want to stretch their ski legs!
Les Arcs is a popular choice for a ski holiday because of it's varied terrain, snow sure altitude and it's vast ski area thanks to the links with La Plagne.
