Les Arcs huh, where to begin. Ski area is vast, we were there in April 2023 and snow was decent above 2000m. For this time of year and under the current ski conditions across the Alps this was ok… we had fresh snow! We stayed in Arc 1800 and locality and ease of access to the slopes is ideal. Great for popping back at lunchtime etc and good for kids. Access to Arcs via Bourg St Maurice is easy. They want silly money for taxis transfers from Chambery. Save your money. Taxis from Chambery airport to train station is roughly 30-40 Euros Train for one adult and child return is 24 Euros (online). Once at Bourg your train ticket grants access in the funicular (at same station), which takes you to arc 1600, then free bus. Only issue with this approach is if you have very early returning flights. Pricing - ok, the Euro is bad and basically 1 to 1 for the British pound atm. This makes things expensive and over priced. 20 Euros for basic burger and chips without drinks, no thanks. Forget about anything fancy, self catering is obviously cheaper but the local supermarket is limited and once again costly. Ok, I know it’s mountain prices but still. Overall and as a first time snowboarding for my son it ticked all the boxes ….. would I return unlikely (unless there’s a deal to be had).
