Overview

As a whole the Les Arcs area offers a magnitude of skiing for every ability and whilst Many of the villages are quite stark, 1950 has been developed to contradict this and offers much more attractive surroundings. The ski area is vast & extends even further if you take the option to ski the Paradiski area, which is linked by cable-car. Expert skiers will be kept busy on great black runs & superb off-piste especially above Arc 2000. Intermediates will find plenty to occupy them and whilst beginners may not find many green runs, once away from the nursery slopes they will be able to progress to a variety of blue runs quite easily. The area has always been popular with boarders and there is some good terrain in the back bowls of 2000. Cross-country skiers will be limited to road trails and may not find too much to excite them here.

Offslope/apres ski

Arc 1950 has been created by Intrawest who developed Whistler. They have succeeded in creating a pleasant traffic-free village made up mainly of good quality apartments. It is possible to eat somewhere different every night. There is a selection of bars & all the basic shops you will need within the resort. This year has also seen the opening of a spa with its’ facilities being open to all.
