Les Arcs - France

Les Arcs is linked to La Plagne with a long high cable car to form Paradiski - one of the biggest skiing and snowboarding areas in the world. The range of skiing for beginners right up to experts is enormous and it makes Les Arcs a great destination for a family skiing holiday or for a mixed ability group.

With Les Arc’s typical villages, traditional crafts and a strong gastronomic tradition, those who enjoy soaking up the surroundings will be in their element. The accommodation is in seven different villages, each with its own atmosphere and specialities. However, Les Arcs 1600, 1800, 1950 and 2000 are linked by a free shuttle bus, as are Plan Peisey and Vallandry. The town of Bourg St Maurice is linked to Les Arcs 1600 by the "Arc-en-ciel" funicular train, which takes only seven minutes.
