Les Arcs Ski Resort (Paradiski), versatility and long runs
The Les Arcs ski resort offers great versatility, making it ideal for all types of visitors: those seeking challenges and mountain adventures, and those learning who want to enjoy skiing in Les Arcs without complications. Located in the Tarentaise Valley, Savoie, France, it is part of the impressive Paradiski ski area.
Specifically, Les Arcs’ slopes cover an area of 200 kilometers. There are a total of 123 marked runs of various difficulty levels: 10 green, 55 blue, 42 red, and 16 black.
Some advantages of skiing in Les Arcs that you’ll love: the chance to do “First Tracks,” meaning getting up early to be the first to ski certain runs on untouched snow at sunrise; and trying the legendary Aiguille Rouge run, red-black in difficulty, 7 km long with a vertical drop of 2,000 meters (from 3,280 m to 1,200 m), amazing, right? These are the Les Arcs sectors, by altitude:
- Arc 2000: The highest area in Les Arcs, at the heart of the Alps. From here, you have direct access to the slopes and the Aiguille Rouge peak at 3,226 m, where the legendary red-black run begins. You can also try the “Luge 2000,” a 3 km sled run full of twists and thrills.
- Arc 1950: A village with Savoyard-style buildings and spectacular views of Mont Blanc.
- Arc 1800: For those seeking après-ski fun, this is the main hub and the confluence point of Paradiski. Don’t miss a visit to the Aquatic Center.
- Arc 1600: Home to the resort’s snowpark, ideal for families and quieter. Accessible in seven minutes via the funicular from Bourg Saint Maurice, which connects easily to European cities such as Paris, London, Brussels, and Amsterdam.
For accommodation, Arc 1800 is a good choice, with direct access to Arc 2000 and plenty of snow right at your doorstep. A recommendation: Résidence Prestige Odalys Edenarc, with wellness facilities and heated pool.
The experience of skiing in Les Arcs is completed with a rich après-ski. Those seeking nightlife should head to Arc 1800, where bars and pubs range from quiet drinks to lively nights with DJs and live music. Activity centers are around Villards Square, including the Bar King Mad with great atmosphere.
Additionally, Les Arcs offers countless activities to complement your ski holidays in French Alps: snow yoga, speedriding, snow scooter rides, and visiting the surprising Igloo Village ice cave with bedrooms and a bar over 2,000 meters high…
