Ski Holidays Les Arcs 1800, France
France

*PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VANOISE EXPRESS LIFT, THAT CONNECTS LES ARCS TO LA PLAGNE, IS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE*
Currently no date has been given for the reopening of this lift.
Les Arcs comprises four modern resorts: Arc 1600, Arc 1800, Arc 1950 and Arc 2000 each with its own distinctive flavour. Arc 1800 is the centre of the action: this is where the lifts converge and has very lively après ski. Arc 1950 is the newest addition and is surrounded by pine trees at the base of the Aiguille Rouge peak. All four have great snow records and skiing and boarding for every level. Its south facing disposition means sun and the views of the sun setting behind Mont Blanc are astounding. And, when the sun is gone there's is always plenty going on.
The Snow
