Over 100 runs in Les Arcs alone and about 50 lifts (cable cars, gondolas and drag lifts) are taking skiers to their respective slopes. And if the 200 kilometers of runs of Les Arcs are not enough for you, with one ski pass you can access the 425 kilometers of descents for beginners, intermediates and experts offered by the Paradiski area.

Five villages in fact form the resort of Les Arcs resort, each identified by its altitude: Arc 1600, Arc 1800, Arc 1950, and Arc 2000. The lowest one is Bourg Saint-Maurice, where the international train station is located. From there, skiers can ride the Arc-en-ciel funicular to access Arc 1600 in the heart of the Paradiski area in just seven minutes. The other four resorts are pedestrian resorts accessible directly from the slopes,

The maintenance of the slopes for beginner skiers in Les Arcs is exceptional. In fact, beginners are probably the luckiest as their slopes are groomed regularly and are in perfect shape throughout the day. There are many nursery slopes and, because of the direction of the beginner slopes, sunshine warms the skiers all day long. Les Arcs 1600 and Les Arcs 2000 are said to have the easiest beginner runs and also the fewest waiting lines

Probably partly for that reason, the ski and summer resort of Les Arcs has recently been awarded the "Famille Plus" label, from the Ski France organization. This certificate guarantees high quality facilities suitable for children and their parents during mountain holidays in Les Arcs. To obtain the label, resorts must welcome children from the age of 18 months the age of at least 12 years, provide suitable practical facilities for families, organize a range of suitable activities, encourage the discovery of the mountain environment and resort life, develop a family policy and make safety a top priority.

Intermediate skiers are also well treated in Les Arcs. They have plenty of groomed runs to keep them busy as well. The Peisey Vallandry run even gives intermediate skiers the chance to go into the backcountry on some nicely groomed trails. Some of the intermediate runs can be combined into longer pistes but to do, so you must get a map before you arrive. If you do plan on going to the backcountry, be sure that you have the piste and topographical maps with you at all times—unprepared skiers have been lost out here for days.

The expert runs accessible right from your doorstep are amazing. The trails are both plentiful and always have just the right amount of powder to keep you going. For skiers who like to ski under a tree cover, Villaroger and Peisey Vallandry are two of the better-forested runs. It’s in the Aiguilles Rouge area, right above Arc 2000, that the most black runs are found, but make sure you are indeed an expert before daring to ski in this area.

Les Arcs accommodations are nice and cozy, and also very well suited for families. Les Arcs counts numerous residences offering apartments of all sizes and hotels of all categories. Whatever type of accommodation you choose, chances are that you will give in to the temptation of the trails and get out early every morning.
