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.

They didn't disappointFirst time with Ski Gathering. They didn't disappoint. The whole team were great - really professional and friendly. Belinda was super helpful with organising lift passes, making restaurant bookings and checking in regularly with the group with information and making sure everyone was happy and felt included. Rosie and Micah took care of everything in the chalet, and were even on hand to make us Aperol spritz in the evening and were flexible with timings on when dinner would be served. Lovely touch that the chef made an appearance to describe the meals on several evenings, which were all delicious. We stayed in the Alpine Lodge chalet which is 5 mins walk from the Chevannes ski lift. We used Eko ski hire shop - they were really friendly and you can leave your skis and boots there overnight. Would highly recommend this chalet and the resort and would have no hesitation in going back.

Absolutely amazing trip!!The team from M&T who run the chalet were so helpful through the whole booking process and made everything from transfers to ski passes super easy! A special shout out has to go to Belinda, whose knowledge, humour and care through the entire week were second to none. Truly the best of the best and our trip wouldn't have been nearly as special without her!

The entire team go above and beyond to make your stay great. Catering at the M&T chalet was by far the best I've experienced anywhere. I will definitely be booking with The Ski Gathering again! A big thank you to the amazing team.

Everyone was so welcomingJoined The Ski Gathering for my first solo ski trip in Feb - I was a bit nervous beforehand but had absolutely no reason to be. Everyone was so welcoming and Belinda did a fabulous job of helping organise the week so we could get the best out of Les Gets and Portes du Soleil. The chalet was incredible and Phoebe/Rosie were such lovely hosts, and the food was just spot on. I thought the eco-credentials was a lovely bonus. Would thoroughly recommend and will be keeping TSG in mind for future trips!

I am still buzzing long after the tripThis was my first time in the mountains skiing & I was apprehensive before the trip as I was not sure what the people would be like or if I could keep up. Fortunately there was a wide range of abilities with someone to ski with & the group was great at encouraging each other and bonding after. The food is wonderful every night as is the drinks that you can help yourself to. Special mention must go to Belinda a master of organisation and able to answer my many questions & point out the best places to ski & eat out. Nothing was too much trouble. Our chalet host Phoebe & Rosie served great breakfast/tea always with a smile. I am still buzzing long after the trip, would love to return next year.

Great food, great companyMy third holiday with Belinda and the team with The Ski Gathering in Les Gets. Great food, great company, comfortable accommodation very close to the Chevanne lift in Chalet des Pistes. I have skied with the over 50's group which has always had a good mixture of abilities so it never been a problem teaming up with others in the group with a similar level of skiing. Last, but by no means least, its great value for money.

Exceeded every expectationI've just returned from an incredible 3-day, 4-night trip to France with The Ski Gathering, and it exceeded every expectation. Belinda was our host and set the tone from the moment we arrived, welcoming, organised, and always making sure everyone felt included and relaxed. Olive, our chalet host, was absolutely wonderful. She cooked delicious meals every day and looked after us with such warmth and care that the chalet quickly felt like home. I travelled with my son, who has been 3 times before and loves it so much that he encouraged me to join him this year, especially as I'm turning 50 and wanted to do something memorable. I'm so glad I said yes. The atmosphere was friendly, supportive, and full of laughter, and it was a joy to share the experience with him. If you're considering a solo or shared-group ski holiday, I couldn't recommend The Ski Gathering more. It's the perfect blend of great people, great hosting, and a truly unforgettable few days in the mountains.

No one is left outMy third time with Ski Gathering and yet again it did not disappoint! New accommodation was great - smack in the centre of Les Gets. The catering was excellent & plentiful with great wines to accompany. What makes Ski Gathering so special is the team. Chalet staff were great and really helpful but Belinda is the star. She utterly looks after you from organising trips to making sure no one is left out. 5 stars - I totally recommend.
