There are some beautiful, long runs through the trees down to traditional rustic French villages. There's a splendid high area of tough runs with good snow above Arc 2000. Beginners can learn quickly using the ski evolutif method of starting on short skis and gradually moving up to longer ones. Intermediates will find plenty of cruising runs to keep them happy. And the lift pass covers days out in other major Tarentaise resorts if you want to explore further afield. It's a very good resort for families. Its children's facilities are impressive. Les Arcs remains an essentially French resort.

Les Arcs has three villages, all fairly similar in many respects. All are purpose-built, relatively unattractive, apartment-dominated places, well positioned for doorstep skiing but lacking off-slope
activities. By far the largest of the three is 1800. It is also the central focus of the ski area, with lifts in numerous directions. It has three sections.

Apartment blocks and shopping arcades synonymous with Les Arcs dominates Charvet and Villards. More pleasant on the eye is Charmettoger, at the periphery of the resort as a whole, with smaller, wood-clad buildings
nestling among trees. Charmettoger is also more consistently ski-convenient - some of the apartments have been built at right angles to the slopes.  If 1800 has a centre, its the Hotel du Golf. Essentially where Charvet meets Villards, its the focus of apres-ski.
The slopes and a couple of main lifts are just outside the door, and the village nursery and mini-club are nearby. The two arcades that house most of the shops, bars and restaurants are either side.
