Skiing & Snowboarding in Les Arcs
Les Arcs features a good amount of varied ski terrain which is easily accessible and can be enjoyed by every level of skier and snowboarder. The lift system around the villages is mostly quick and well planned, with easy access from all points. Beginner and child-friendly slopes spread out from the resort which allows progression to intermediate blue and red pistes the further out you go.
There are 200km of local pistes which will be enjoyed by intermediate skiers and snowboarders. The majority of runs are over the 2,000m mark which means good snow reliability, while tree-lined pistes lower down give good cover during bad weather. Those looking for more challenging terrain won’t be disappointed either with steep, ungroomed black runs found above Arc 2000 for those who want them.
Les Arcs also benefits from being part of the Paradiski area along with its neighbour La Plagne. The double decker Vanoise Express cable car stretched over the valley and is an experience itself. It also provides access to over double the amount of skiing in the 425km of pistes which make up the Paradiski area. Additionally, there is plenty of off-piste and freeriding to be found across the whole area when conditions are right.
