Description of Les Arcs
Skiing in Les Arcs has something for the novice to the most accomplished skier and is a great ski area for families. Recently joining with La Plagne to form the Paradiski, Les Arcs now forms part of a massive network of impeccably maintained pistes truly featuring something for everyone. One of the original French 'mega-resorts', Les Arcs has a fabulous reputation for its varied and conveniently-serviced ski terrain, and has retained all its quality along with the quantity of runs on offer. The resort itself consists of several villages; 1600, 1800, 1950, 2000, Vallandry and Villaroger, with several smaller hamlets making up the area. Each has it's own vibe, but all are well serviced with chairlifts, varying nightlife, restaurants, shops and facilities. The valley town of Bourg St Maurice is well linked to the mountain via a quick and easy funicular ride into Arc 1600. Ski Rental in Les Arcs couldn't be easier. Intersport has the following ski hire shops in and around the resort:
