Les Arcs ski holidays
Part of the high-altitude Paradiski area, with terrain to suit all tastes.
- Big area with everything from tree-lined runs to glacier skiing.
- Step straight from the door to the slopes in lots of the accommodation.
- Varied villages with ski schools, shops and bars all within easy reach.
Variety is the key to Les Arcs’ popularity. There’s everything from tree-lined trails to open slopes, with an excellent snow park to boot – so you’ll have tonnes to keep you going, whatever your level. Each village has a beginner zone and easy blues for learners, while the Peisey-Vallandry and the Glacier du Varet areas keep the challenges coming for more advanced skiers. Eager for more? Catch the cable car over to La Plagne to explore the rest of the 425km Paradiski area.
The resort’s split into several ski-in, ski-out villages. Starting things off, it's laid-back family-fave Arc 1600, which was the first of the bunch to be built. Bar-filled Arc 1800 is home to the après scene, and for quick access to the glacier, Arc 2000 is your spot. Or for that traditional mountain feel, try Arc 1950. It may be the newest, but its wooden buildings are oh so alpine. And it’s good news on the eco front too. The whole resort has received B Corp status – that’s an international award that recognises environmentally friendly companies.
When you’re not on the slopes, keep things cool with a visit to France’s biggest Igloo Village in Arc 2000. Or if you’ve got kids, whizz down water slides and splash in swimming pools at the Mile8 leisure centre in Arc 1800.

Le Belmont Apartments, Arc 1800
In Les Arcs, France
- Walk to the lifts in 3 minutes.
- Enjoy views of the forest and Mont Blanc.
- Relax in the lounge or play a game of pool.
In a quiet spot on the edge of a forest, these simple apartments are just the thing for a self-catered stay in Arc 1800. They’re in a top-notch spot surrounded by trees and just a few minutes’ walk from the lifts – and you can even spot Mont Blanc in the distance.
Inside, they’ve been decorated in a traditional style, with wood panelling and cheery red and yellow furnishings. You’ll have the freedom to cook your own meals, but if you fancy a change, head out for dinner and make the most of the restaurants in the village instead. Plus, there are fondue, raclette and espresso machines that are free for you to make the most of (just ask).
When you’re not skiing or hanging out in your apartment, the communal lounge is a great spot to plan tomorrow's ski adventures. Chill in the lounge with a library, watch the little ones have fun in the kids' play area, or challenge your mates to a game of pool or table football.
