Visitor Reviews of Les Arcs

I had never been to Les Arcs before and I have just returned from a 1-week break with four friends. We stayed in the resort of 1800 in the Charmettoger Apartments. The rooms were basic but comfortable. Conditions were a bit icy on the lower slopes during the first couple of days but a large fall on snow on Tuesday night guaranteed fantastic skiing for the rest of the week.

The resort is nice and well laid out with most accommodation within a five minute walk of the main gondola. Lots of nice restaurants and bars although prices can be very steep. Benjis is a great bar/restaurant to eat at with fantastic food at reasonable prices. Watch out for some of the expensive bars (opposite the lift pass office on the main street) we paid 8 Euros for one pint of Guinness.

Make sure you shop around for your ski/boot hire. Whatever you do don’t go to Ski Set they were double the price of everywhere else. We went to Pop Corn and paid half the price.

If you can (and you don’t mind steep blue runs), try and ski down into the resort of Arc 1950, it's fantastic. It would probably be quite expensive to travel there by taxi and access by skis is so much quicker.

Overall, a fantastic holiday. Only problem you would have is if you are a complete beginner as there is a severe lack of Green runs in all the resorts. Some of the blues are very steep in places so try and get someone to check them out for you first. Excellent blue runs for beginners are Chantel and Foret. Foret takes you through some gorgeous tree lined runs with fantastic scenery.

My only other recommendation would be to take some very warm gloves. The maximum temperature when we left was –13 degrees.
