Just returned from a short break in Villaroger (10 years since my previous review) and having read a report in the Guardian a few weeks ago didn’t know what to expect. I recall the article made reference to extra beds and modernisation etc. Thankfully, the only difference I noticed was a large number of snow cannons that had apparently been installed this winter to make the descent to the village easier when snow was scarce. Typically, I assume they had remained unused all winter as the snow depth was incredible for this time of year. Stayed in a family run chalet a couple of minutes drive from the slopes which (apart from the hangover due to the never ending wine supply) was ideally situated to do Ste Foy, La Rosiere to Italy, Les Arcs and for a couple of extra Euros we popped over to La Plagne via the Vanoise Express which is an experience! Val and Tignes will have to wait.... So for a traditional (no nonsense/no queues/no head banging 3am disco on your doorstep) rustic alpine experience Villaroger appears not to have changed. And I for one, hope it stays that way.

Villaroger is a small unspoilt Alpine Village; part of the Les Arcs, Paradiski ski area. Free car parking, a lift pass office and 3 lifts up and you access Arcs 2000.
Skiing alone in Villaroger is great, especially after a snowfall. The first lift is free and offers a decent amount of descent for a free lift.
Staying around Villaroger you couldn't be more central to ski the world famous resorts of Les Arcs, La Plagne, Sainte Foy, Val d'Isere, Tignes, La Rosiere and La Thuile (Italy). It's a perfect location for those wanting a 'ski safari'; skiing different resorts during your stay. All resorts are only minutes away. One of the longest runs in Europe ends in Villaroger: 7km long and 2000m of descent from the top of the Aiguille Rouge. A must if you are skiing Les Arcs.
The local bar of La Ferme is very French with good food and a log fire, not forgetting the strong Mutsig beer. The Goyet restaurant is great for lunch or dinner.
If you are looking to stay in a true alpine village with beautiful views and scenery look no further. Commercialism has not arrived here yet!!

I used to run a ski chalet from Villaroger but age & injury led to retirement. That said I still ski from here all winter and eat (& sometimes play my guitar) at La Ferme. I can't talk about the accommodation but I can say that the addition of several snow cannons, some small rerouting over the years to avoid really nasty narrow bits of piste and the friendly, hospitable village atmosphere make this a fine place to ski if you can do at least a decent stem turn. I would NOT recommend it to beginners or worried intermediates. It is the north side of the mountain so slopes can steepen up and shaded areas can be scratchy. You can always avoid mogul walls now but if you do decide to go down the moguls be aware that once you are on them there's no way out! The only problem has been that with the Vanoise Express opening up much larger numbers of skiers are coming over to ski this set of runs; traffic can now be an issue. But if you stay in Villaroger and you can get all the way to the top of the mountain and ski all the way down to La Ferme on a sunny day you will have had one of the most memorable runs in the Alps! Final word: the off-piste here is very tempting and can be very dangerous & requires a licence. Please, only with a guide, who will have a licence to take people into what is officially a nature reserve!

I have never stayed in Villaroger, but have driven & skied/walked there this season while living in Bourg St. Maurice.
While it may be possible to buy a lift ticket for only the Villaroger lifts, most will opt for a Les Arc pass (or Paradiski when they get the Vanoise Express running again in Dec '08). With Paradiski, you can ski Villaroger, Les Arc, Plan Peisey and all of La Plagne without driving (although you may need to download the last lift down to Villaroger depending on conditions).
Previous reviewers' comments seem spot on.

Having stayed at Villaroger for the past few years, I can thoroughly recommend it. Providing an ideal central location for those wishing to ski a number of resorts (Val D'Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs, La Rosiere, Ste Foy and La Plagne all accessible with a short journey) or for those who prefer to remain close to home, Villaroger/Les Arcs provides plenty of varied skiing for the beginner to the most experienced. It's true to say that Villaroger is not the nightlife capital of the world, however there are a couple of local bars/restaurants which can be recommended, both frequented by the locals meaning that the prices are very reasonable (Val is only about 30 mins away for the party animals). Having stayed in the centre of many of the bigger resortsin France, I have to say that you often leave with no sense of the local culture, but that can not be said of Villaroger. Lift office next to the carpark, no jostling in long queues and access to the Aiguille Rouge providing one real leg burner back down to Villaroger and a well deserved beer in La Ferme. Going back this year, to hopefully enjoy the excellent conditions that are available at this early stage of the season.
