Les Arcs
Said to be the ‘home of snowboard’,Les Arcs is a classic French resort with varied terrains and a good mixture of high slopes and low-level woodland runs. Les Arcs is famous for its speed-skiing track above Arc 2000, the setting over the years for a number of world records.
Les Arcs is ideal for families, intermediates and boarders abound. Whether you choose
Les Arcs 2000, 1950, 1800 or 1650, there’s loads of long-descents and the link with La Plagne provides even more choice. A functional, purpose-built resort, ideal for mixed-ability groups – and it won’t cost the earth either, making it a ski holiday to remember.
Not to be missed
From Aiguille Rouge, ski all the way down to the hamlet of Le Pré – descending over 2,000m, the run is over four miles long.One for the train
Les Arcs calls itself the home of the snowboard, with local boy Regis Rolland playing a big part in popularising the sport – not least with his Apocalypse Snow movies.Off the piste
Of the mountain restaurants, the pick is Chalets de l'Arc, built in traditional wood and stone and serving good French food – it’s located above Arc 2000 towards Col de la Chal.Top money tip
If you’re thinking of buying ski equipment, take the funicular back to Bourg-St-Maurice,where the prices are cheaper.
