Skiing in Les Arcs

The Ski Area

Come and experience the vast ski area of Les Arcs. There are 107 marked runs over 200 kilometres and the breakdown is as follows: 104 kilometres of blues, 70 kilometres of reds, and 26 kilometres of blacks.

Breakdown of the marked runs in the Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry ski area:

  • 16 blacks
  • 42 reds
  • 55 blues
  • 10 greens

With four slalom courses, eight snow zones, and a high altitude toboggan run at Les Arcs, there are plenty of alternative ways to enjoy the snow.

Since 2010, the resort has had ten "natur" ski runs which are unpisted, but patrolled and secured. For expert skiers only, these are reputed to be the most difficult descents in the ski area.

Did you know? The famous flying kilometre run was created for the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics, and saw French Olympic champion Michaël Prüfer break the world speed skiing record, setting a new mark of 229.299 km/h.

The Paradiski Area

Arc 2000 is one of the four areas making up the the resort of Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry. Les Arcs is part of the huge Paradiski area, the second largest interlinked ski area in the world. The Essential Pass gives access to its 425 kilometres of pistes.

In addition to the resort of Les Arcs, the Paradiski area includes:

  • La Plagne
  • Peisey-Vallandry
  • Villaroger
  • Mont-Chavin
  • Les Coches
  • Montalbert
  • Champagny-en-Vanoise

Snow conditions

Les Arcs is situated on the northern slopes of the Vanoise massif. The ski area has a vertical drop of over 2,000 metres from the highest point at an altitude of 3,227 metres. Thanks to its location, Les Arcs has exceptional snow cover.

If necessary, the natural snow cover can be augmented in the early or late season by a network of snow-making machines fed by water from the Adret des Tuffs reservoir, ensuring that at least forty-three kilometres of pistes are open.

The Lift System

We could not talk about the lift system in Les Arcs without mentioning the area's most remarkable installation - the Vanoise Express. This is the world's largest cable car and has been transporting skiers from Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry to La Plagne in just four minutes since its opening in 2003.

Like the Aiguille Rouge (formerly Arc-en-Ciel) cable car, it was built with a single span, without intermediate pylons. In addition, the glass floor of the interior space offers an exceptional experience.

In addition, Arc 2000 has a small reversible cable car, the Cabriolet, which connects it to Arc 1950, as well as one gondola, five chairlifts and three drag lifts.

Did you know? Several of Les Arcs' lifts are open to pedestrians and cyclists during the summer, including the Arcabulle chairlift which is designed to be able to attach bicycles to the seats.
