Getting There

Chambery is the closest airport for those flying to the resort at only 1h 50 mins
away. You’ll be able to get a transfer by taxi or minibus at a good price.

After that, Grenoble Airport is only 2h 30 mins away, but only available in winter.

Another option is the super speedy TGV trains from Paris or Lyon and then transfer to one of the ‘snow trains’ that operate throughout ski season. Buses from Chambery airport to Bourg St Maurice and Landry run four times a day on Saturdays and Sundays.

What to do

The Domain

The Les Arcs landscape is dotted with little bits of history including fascinating churches and chapels. It’s possible to combine your skiing experience with a visit to villages where life has changed little in the past 500 years. At the heart of the Savoy region, you’ll also be surrounded by a forest and mountain dreamscape where time seems to standstill.

The first Les Arc resort can trace its history back to 1600 close to the valley town of Bourg St Maurice. Take the funicular train to explore the traffic-free charms of this birthplace and open up a treasure trove of interesting discoveries.

A number of different Arcs have been built in the past century. 1600, 1950 and 2000 are small but particularly good for families. Arc 1800 features many of the newer buildings in the area and are a good choice for those who prefer modern surroundings. However, all Arcs offer a great selection of restaurants and places to enjoy a touch of apres ski.

Everything is connected and the villages are often ski-in, ski-out meaning you can explore the region at leisure and find a perfect place to sit and enjoy the daunting landscape.

The Ski Area

What would you do with 425 km of slopes? Well, explore the area of course! Paradiski truly is a skier’s paradise and accessible to visitors of any age and skill level. For the kids and beginners, there are many blue slopes that offer a gentle introduction to the sport.

The hardened skier will be able to challenge themselves with the 115 red and black slopes of Paradiski, many of which are above 2000m altitude. Even on the lower regions, good skiing is guaranteed thanks to an artillery of snow guns to keep the powder coming.

You’ll be able to maximise your time on the slopes thanks to the recent introduction of high performance lifts that carry more people more quickly and can be connected to an app on your phone that tells you when they’re about to arrive.

There are three main areas to play in: Les Arcs , Peisey-Vallandry and La Plagne . They’re linked by one of the largest cable cars in Europe meaning you can choose a different location every day of your holiday.

Where to eat

Head to 1800 for the most choices, but every resort across Les Arcs can cater for adults and children who want to enjoy everything from traditional French cuisine to a quick pizza that gets the energy levels back up. We’ve picked out a few of our favourites from the many great restaurants available.

Le Chalet de Candice
Located in the Alpages de Chantel Residence, enjoy classic Savoyard food including fondue, tartiflette, meat on the stone with duck. The lamb is particularly delicious.

Le Savoy
Take a ski trip to Les Arcs 2000 for portion sizes that are truly generous. This popular restaurant will require reservations in peak season but the cosy atmosphere and authentic food makes the visit well worth it.

Le Cabane de Neiges
The onion soup is particularly recommended for this quirky restaurant where half a rusty car has been turned into a comfortable settee. Great French cooking awaits.

Where to drink

The après ski in Les Arcs is family focused but there are plenty of options for those who fancy staying out beyond their bedtimes. At the other end of the spectrum, there are many places for those happy with a few warming glasses of wine so they’re up with the sun for the next morning’s ski.

Les Belles Pintes
What can beat a friendly Irish pub in the middle of the Alps? Expect good music, great craic and the best pint of Guinness to be found in the mountains.

Bar Mont Blanc
If you love live music and catching up with what’s happening in the football at home then this lively bar will be a regular haunt. The food’s not bad either.

El 56
Looking for a tapas experience to go with your glass of Gluhwein? El 56 brings a hefty list of small plates to the party in a really comfortable setting.
