About Les Arcs
Les Arcs is a world-renowned, purpose-built ski resort consisting of four main pedestrianized villages—Arc 1600, Arc 1800, Arc 1950, and Arc 2000—each offering a distinct atmosphere.

Arc 1950 offers a charming, luxury village experience, while Arc 1800 serves as the bustling hub of après-ski, shopping, and activities.
The Resort
As half of the massive Paradiski area, Les Arcs connects seamlessly to neighboring La Plagne via the spectacular Vanoise Express double-decker cable car. The resort is celebrated for its immense vertical drop, high-altitude snow reliability, and remarkably diverse terrain. Skiers can transition from the high-alpine bowls of the Aiguille Rouge down through sweeping, sheltered forest runs winding toward Villaroger and Peisey-Vallandry.
Whether you are a family seeking convenient access and dedicated progressive learning zones, or an expert hunting for steep couloirs and world-class off-piste routes, Les Arcs delivers an all-encompassing alpine experience with breathtaking, unobstructed views of Mont Blanc.
