Les Arcs Ski Area - An efficient and modern system of lifts link the ski stations of Arc 1600, Arc 1800, the newly built Arc 1950 and Arc 2000 together with the traditional villages of Vallandry, Peisey, Nancroix and Villaroger. Les Arcs offers a network of linked skiing that varies from the Glacier du Varet at more than 3000 metres to the wide open bowl surrounding Arc 2000 and forested descents to the lower villages. The entire domain comprises 114 pistes of all grades: a resort with plenty to offer for all standards. A large and varied area of nursery slopes are situated immediately in front of Arc 1800 close to all the village facilities and served by a number of chair and drag lifts. Those that prefer to stay within the trees have arguably the best tree skiing in the French Alps to attack, a day in and around the Vallandry area comes highly recommended. The best advanced area of skiing is accessed via the Aiguille Rouge telecabine in the highest sector of the Les Arcs ski area. There are many steep red and black runs on the slopes parallel to the infamous flying kilometre, descending into the Arc 2000 bowl. The resort has endless opportunities for off-piste skiing and boarding and a well-equipped snowpark.
Apres Ski - Arc 1800 is one of the most student friendly resorts in the Alps, with loads of restaurants, bars and kebab shop (cunningly named Le Kebab). The biggest bar in town is Red Hot Saloon where you will find plenty of atmosphere especially when a live band is playing. Chez Bou Bou’s is the perfect starting place for those accommodated in Charvet, they have been friends of On the Piste for years and to show this bond you will find a shot of rum (or two..) provided ‘gratis’ with all drinks purchased. The Ambiente Café and Before Café sit next door and both indulge you with a real mix of tunes and a large volume of toffee vodka which we assure you are not to be missed. The Apokalypse is a truly a great venue and is now the only choice for those who like to keep going till the early hours, trust us this place rocks!
