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.

Thanks to The Ski Gathering, Les Gets was one of my most fun ski holidays ever! Belinda, Immy and Rachel were wonderful at looking after us. They worked hard to ensure us to have a good time.

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.

This is an absolute godsendI've just finished my second ski season in a row in Les Gets with the Ski Gathering, and it's hard to look past the extensive ski areas in the Portes du Soleil combined with the brilliant chalet when thinking about the next season as well. The hosts keep the chalet clean and well maintained, and help organise things like equipment hire and transfers. The food is plentiful and tasty (breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner), with dinner being a pleasant mix of restaurant and family-style dishes. The hosts are friendly and approachable. The spa, whilst small, is a welcome addition to the experience. All of this contributes to making the experience akin to what you might expect from a trip with group of friends. The difference is that you start the week as complete strangers, but on both occasions I've found that by the end of the week everyone is chatting, joking and laughing (and often drinking) as though we've known each other for much, much longer. As a solo traveller, this is an absolute godsend. What might otherwise turn a holiday into a stressful mess of review-searching and bookings before it even begins, becomes an easy, enjoyable experience where you can focus on the skiing, socialisation and just having a good time. I can't praise it enough!

Roll on next year!I had a fabulous week with Belinda and the team in Les Gets and not having joined a solos ski group before, this was a great experience. I hadn’t skied properly for over 6 years and whilst I knew the wider area, Les Gets was new to me. The chalet was great and the team there absolutely wonderful. Great food, great company from my fellow travellers and skiers and a definite revisit next year! Belinda goes out of her way to make sure you have the best experience you can from your holiday and nothing is too much trouble - so much hard work and kindness which was truly appreciated, thank you!. Hannah, Amy and Emma in the chalet are lovely, work incredibly hard and, again, nothing is too much trouble. We had a mixed bag of weather but great snow and such a huge area to ski - roll on next year !! Thanks again everyone! x

Special thanks to Amy, Hannah and Emma for their excellent hosting skills. each meal was a culinary delight, and the whole chalet was kept spotless and sparkling. I recommend the location 5 stars for facilities available, staff expertise and friendliness and standard of accommodation. Belinda was warm, friendly, amusing and incredibly knowledgeable about all things Les Gets and Porte de Soleil and happy to engage constantly with the group. All 4 of you made my ski trip very enjoyable. Will be back!!

Do this; you won't regret itAbsolutely tremendous experience. No notes. I had done catered chalets in France before, so I knew to expect a great breakfast, tasty afternoon tea and a good dinner, but this was next-level in unexpected ways. First, the lovely team that looked after us, so kind and eager to accommodate, feeding and tidying up and smiling throughout. Second, the ski group -- I don't know how The Ski Gathering does it, but inviting 'social solo skiers over 50' turned out a delightful group - warm and fun and full of kindness and interest in each other. New friends! Finally, our resort manager, Belinda, who gave amazing advice on pistes and lifts, teased and cajoled and helped us, and joined for some very special days on the mountain from first tracks to the final cheeky vin chaud at day's end. Do this; you won't regret it.

It hugely exceeded my expectationsJust back from a fantastic week with Ski Gathering. I was keen to get on the hills but with no mates available, I thought I'd take a chance and I'm very glad I did. Thinking 'at least it's bed & board near the slopes' it hugely exceeded my expectations with genuinely good food and lovely chalet hosts, and a group of sociable fellow skiers and boarders enjoying life on and off the hill. Special mention for resort manager and human dynamo Belinda for making everything run smoothly with tact and humour. I'd have no hesitation in booking again.

Well organised and very friendlyThis was my third visit to Les Suites de l'Alpe and to a 50+ solo holiday. From the very start it was well organised and very friendly. Belinda made us feel very welcome and explained how things worked, from ski passes and buses, to paying for 18 different drinks in the mountain cafe! Emma, Hannah and Harriet were very efficient and obliging, coping with all our different requests and late appearances. I very much enjoyed my vegetarian option, which had lots of variety and was filling and tasty. Overall i had a fantastic time skiing and staying at the chalet, thank you to all the hosts.

My fourth experience with The Ski GatheringI had an excellent over 50s week at the Chalet des Pistes. Everyone in the group was friendly and there was always someone to ski with. I greatly enjoyed the little tourist train between lifts in Morzine, saved my ancient legs. Food was delicious and we enjoyed the free wine and beer. Thanks to Harriet for looking after us and especially for supplying croissants for my journey home. This was my fourth experience with Ski Gathering and I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a solo skiing trip.
