Relatively new to the British market is Vallandry and Plan Peisey which are part of the larger more well known ski area of Les Arcs. Vallandry itself is situated 400m along from the piste from La Foret and its sister resort Plan Peisey lies about half a mile away. The centre has attractive Savoyard style buildings and includes shops, bars restaurants, bank cinema and crèche. It also has its own ski school.

The skiing
With a vertical height difference of over 2100m between the top of the Aiguille Rouge at 3226m (with great views) and the lowest piste, Les Arcs has well over 200km of skiing to suit most people’s requirements. Wherever you stay in the higher resorts you will never be far from the slopes – if convenience for skiing is your top priority and not village charm – then Les Arcs should be high on your list. 
The system offers all grades of skier a lot of options, 1600 and 1800 offer very good ski options for beginners and intermediates, where the 2000 area is more suited to intermediate and advanced skiers, including a 2000m vertical drop on one black or red run.

advanced
Experts will be very happy trying out the vertical drop of over 200m from the top of the Aiguille Rouge down to Le Pre. There are various off piste opportunities in most areas of the resort.

intermediate
Intermediates have plenty to choose from – and this area particularly suits mixed ability groups as most runs have an easy and a more difficult route to choose from.

beginner
Beginners have nursery slopes just above the three main villages of 1600, 1800 and 2000 and a wide range of blues to progress on to.

family
There are nurseries and ski schools for children at all heights of Les Arcs. Call us for information on childcare

snowboarding
With boarder friendly lifts and its great mixture of terrain Les Arcs has truly become a snowboarding ‘Mecca’. There is a park, half pipe and boarder cross at 1800 and a flood lit half pipe in 2000, which attracts some of the world top snowboarders – Les Arcs is truly the place to be!

après ski 
Les Arcs 1800 is the real centre for nightlife – however 1600 has its fair share and 2000 is the quietest. The red Hot Saloon bar in 1800 has live music and the JO bar is open until the early hours. Other activities are few and far between with few shops and no sports centre either, however both 1600 and 1800 has cinemas with English speaking films twice a week.
