Les Arcs Skiing

Les Arcs is located in the picturesque Rhone-Alpes region of the French Alps, known for its exceptional skiing and ability to cater to all visitors. Since 2003, Les Arcs has been directly connected to the La Plagne area via the Vanoise Express, forming Paradiski, the second largest linked ski area in the world.

Paradiski invites you to explore over 425 kilometers (264 miles) of skiable terrain, with options for every level of skill and experience. Whether you're seeking impeccably groomed slopes or thrilling off-piste adventures, the area offers a limitless array of options for every ski and snowboard fanatic.

Les Arcs For Beginners:

If you're just finding your feet in the world of skiing, the Les Arcs pass, covering the 225km of pistes available within the Les Arc resort, will give you ample terrain and variety to fill your ski week. If you're at a level beyond beginner, then the full Paradiski pass gives incredible access to all 425km of pistes across both resorts (Les Arcs and La Plagne).

Les Arcs For Intermediates / Advanced

While first time intermediates to Les Arcs might get satisfaction from a week long Les Arcs pass, those that are staying longer or are at an advanced level will certainly want to book a Paradiski pass. Here, you'll have the option of 260 pistes, over 140 ski lifts and two snowparks — perfect for snowboarders and freestyle skiers alike.

Les Arcs for Off-Piste

Even with its reputation as a skiing paradise, you'll find the snow in Les Arcs will stay fresh longer into the day than most other resorts. This is especially true at higher altitudes — in areas such as the Grand Col, and Arc 1800. The Grand Col takes you above 2500 meters, and opens to one red and one black run, and the off-piste sections that surrounds them. From the top of the Vagere lift in Arc 1800, you'll find plenty of untracked powder, close to the red runs of Vagere and Golf. If you can get there quickly enough after a heavy snowdump — the Peisey-Vallandry areas have some decent, and somewhat safer, off-piste options. In the La Plagne side of the resort there is plenty more off-piste to discover, including the infamous 'Petit Face Nord' on the north face of the glacier.

Les Arcs Villages

Les Arcs is a purpose built ski resort, that combines six self-contained villages. The resort has an impressive snow record during the months of December through to April, and attracts skiers of all ages and abilities.

Plan Peisey, neighbouring Peisey Village and Vallandry are situated very close to the Vanoise Express lift at the heart of Paradiski, giving great access to all that Les Arcs and La Plagne have to offer. With a relaxed and traditional feel, but with all the amenities you would need, they are great areas to base yourself from if the skiing itself is the priority for your time in the Alps.

You'll find family friendly amenities throughout Les Arcs, but especially in Arc 1800, with a kid's practice area, numerous toboggan runs and a water park. Arc 1800 is also renowned for its après-ski, with an abundance of bars and restaurants dotted throughout.

Another family hotspot is Arc 1600. This is the original resort of the Les Arcs and has quieter and more relaxed atmosphere than its higher altitude equivalents. 1600 is ideal for beginners, families and anyone looking for accommodation on the more budget-friendly end of the scale.

You'll find the most stylish and modern resort of Les Arc in Arc 1950 — having been completed as recently as 2007, from the same team that developed Copper Mountain in Colorado, and Mont Tremblant and Whistler in Canada. Thanks to its higher altitude and modern design, 1950 offers some of the most snow-sure conditions and top of the range amenities including a spa, and a ski-through shopping area!

Arc 2000 is all about the skiing! Featuring a large number of self-catered properties, with a few catered chalets dotted throughout, the majority of which are ski-in/ski-out. High altitude, ease of access skiing at its finest, with plenty of off-piste options right at your doorstep — Arc 2000 is an advanced skier's Mecca.

I could not have asked for a better experienceHands down one of if not the best ski trips I have ever been on. Having only stayed in hostels with friends on previous trips I had no idea what to expect from a hosted chalet let alone as part of a solo trip with Ski Gathering. This surpassed all I could have envisioned. The chalet was beautiful, spacious, well stocked and homely. Our host Holly was warm, welcoming, down to earth and fun. She catered to our every need with genuine passion and pride. The chalet was spotless, food exquisite and beverages constantly topped up. As 15 solo travelers Holly and the team engaged with us all equally, easing us in and helping us acquaint with each other. Holly was knowledgeable of the area and any questions she couldn't answer she went out of her way to remedy. The group themselves were amazing and fun and I have already recommended this trip to many of my friends and I would return in a heartbeat as others in the group already had. I could not have asked for a better experience, host or team. It says a lot that we had so much fun as a group that we preferred to hang out all together and at the chalet rather than venture off and do our own things, even on the hosts nights off. I am truly beyond grateful for the experience and for having met and spent time with them all.

One of the best weeks of my life!From the moment I first spoke to Jana to saying goodbye to Belinda, the whole week has been nothing but incredible! I've never experienced such unbelievable service from a team, incl the hosts in the chalet. I was v anxious about trying this type of holiday out for the first time but I had nothing to worry about. We had the best bunch of people & the skiing was off the scale thanks to our host Belinda guiding us. I can't thank you all enough for one of the best weeks of my life! Esp celebrating my 50th b'day & the attention to detail. A special thank you to Belinda, who is nothing but an amazing humble human being!! I will be back…… THANK YOU!!

I would go back in a heartbeat.What a brilliant week. Everything was frankly fantastic - the chalet was roomy and very comfortable, the food was uniformly excellent, the beer & wine genuinely free-flowing. But more than that, we were so well looked after I don't know where to begin. Nothing was too much trouble, the chalet staff always cheerful & oh so efficient. Then, of course, there's Belinda. What a superstar - how she keeps everybody organised is a mystery but she does it somehow and always with a wicked sense of humour and boundless energy. I feel privileged to have spent a week being looked after by the team and I would go back in a heartbeat.

A memorable holidaySpent an amazing week at Les Suites d'Alpes in Les Gets on a 50+ with Ski Gathering. Belinda worked incredibly hard, attending to our every need. The chalet girls were very kind and the food was really excellent. The guests were a really great bunch of people and many were happy to ski as a group. All in all, a memorable holiday with a real party atmosphere for the Apres Ski.

Would recommend for solo skiersIt was a great trip to Les Gets with the Ski Gathering. Belinda was a great host and got everyone organised and showed us around the mountains. We ended up with a hardcore group of 8 skiers out of around 16 in the chalet. Great food and wine, and chalet staff. Would recommend for solo skiers who don't want to ski on their own.

What a week !!!!Well !! Where do I start? I have just returned from a week in Les Gets with the Ski Gathering. It was bloody excellent from start to finish. Belinda was a meticulous and fantastic organiser and also a fabulous host. The chalet was superb and includes a small pool, sauna and hot tub for pampers apres ski. Food in the chalet was a brilliantly high standard. And all the chalet girls and chefs were excellent. I was made to feel so welcome. Last word on my chalet mates: what a smashing group we were in. Sociable, caring, some great skiers and some wonderful wits. What a week !!!!

Five stars is not enoughWhere do I begin? Despite all the mishaps, misadventures, and badly injuring my right knee, this was the best experience I have had skiing in years. I cannot stress enough how brilliant Belinda and the team of ladies at Les Gets were, from arrival to departure. Their organisation and support were invaluable. If they said something was worth doing or recommended a place to go, they were invariably right. The support they provided to ensure you have a great trip was absolutely first-class. I should know—I had to call upon their help more than most, whether it was needing rescuing from the medical centre or somehow swapping skis with another unfortunate person. This was definitely the best trip I have been on in years—great value in a great atmosphere. Good accommodation and great food, even for a very fussy eater like myself. Afternoon tea and cakes were fabulous—only, there was never enough cake for us gannets! The service was friendly and superb throughout my stay, and I cannot praise it enough. Five stars is not enough. If I am ever able to go skiing again, I will definitely go with The Ski Gathering. Thank you for a brilliant holiday. As I sit here waiting for the fracture clinic to call back with an appointment date, I can only look back with pleasure on my trip to Les Gets and my time with The Ski Gathering—and the memories I have. If you are wanting to go solo skiing, this is definitely the way to go. The team at The Ski Gathering in Les Gets are brilliant!

I had the best time10 stars out of 5!!!! All I can say is wow, wonderful resort, wonderful chalet, wonderful food, wonderful people. I had the best time. I was apprehensive about sharing a chalet and in fact a room with complete strangers, but I loved every second of it. Belinda really is the icing on the cake, I believe there may actually be at least 4 of her!!! She is so helpful, so organised, so knowledgeable and so invested in making your stay the best possible. Not a package holiday, but everything except my flight was organised for me. Les Suites de l'Alpe is right next to a chair lift and free bus route to other parts of the ski area. Food was delicious, girls in chalet so attentive and facilities spot on. I will be back!!!!

More than exceeded expectationsAwesome ski week! Have had many ski trips in the past but never solo to a chalet, initially unsure what to expect but more than exceeded expectations. Whole group friendly fun and ski/boarded together everyday all over the resort. Chalet hosts really welcoming to cosy modern and well catered meals. Belinda what an unbelievable force of skiing nature! Nothing too much to organsise or help with to make the best holiday experience for all, an absolute pleasure to ski with! Cannot more highly recommend ski gathering.
