Snowboarding budget weekend in Les Arcs

Trip Highlights

Les Arcs 2000 offers doorstep Glacier skiing and guaranteed snow, with ski to door access.

The resort is very well suited to all abilites and is renowned for its huge variety of slopes and terrain. Its has recently been linked to the neighbouring Super Resort of La Plagne by a 12 million euro cable car that spans the valley. This has firmly mapped Les Arcs (the Paradiski) as one of the most exciting resorts in the Alps, and in fact is now the 4th largest in France.

Les Arcs 2000 is a newly built ski resort with pretty architecture. It has been designed with skiing in mind rather than having evolved from roots as a farming community, like so many resorts. Convenient skiing is top of the agenda and weekenders will delight in the easy mountain access and doorstep glacier skiing. The new Arc 1950 is just 5-10 minutes away, and adds to an already fun and varied nightlife. The Les Arcs experience is certainly one to remember, and despite from the longer transfer, it is all worth it for the convenience and excellent glacier skiing.

Other Info

Accommodation Details

Les Arcs 2000 has some very down to earth nightlife and will appeal to all wallets. A benefit of the proximity of Arc 1950 is the additional nightlife, shops and cafes on offer.

Chalet-Des-Neiges:
Chalets available in this range:
8 bed, 10 bed, 12 bed, 14-16 bed

Sole Occupancy
These chalets must be taken on sole occupancy, by groups of 8 or more.

Saver Deal: Each chalet has 2 Sofa beds, which if used will get a £100 discount (p/pers)

The Chalets
Access to a sauna, steam room and pool give the edge to this high altitude "ski to door" chalet.* The internal décor within the Chalet Des Neiges is very tasteful, cosy and rustic which can best described as high end accommodation rather than premium luxury. These chalets were built about 5 years ago and present excellent value and comfortable accommodation for skiers that want high altitude snow with premium facilities. Catered Ski Chalet

*Location
Very central location, close to bars and skiers can usually pole their way to and from the slopes from the chalet (snow pending!). Chalet Des Neiges is a complex of chalet-apartments offering great value ski accommodation with health club access (sauna and pool) in the middle of one of France's most snow sure ski areas!

Although the chalets run our Premier service, they do not quite reach our premium classification of "luxury accommodation". Instead they offer Premier facilities and high end accommodation for a value price.
