One of teh most famous resorts in the Alps, Les Arcs is a purpose built resort on 3 levels. The 3 Villages at 1600, 1800 and 2000 have individual qualities which make them unique.
1600- near to bars and shops, obviously lower down the mountain , but more traditional than the other 2. Also nearer to the beginner slopes which makes it ideal for the family.1800- Party Party Party! Bars and clubs, floodlit skiing.
2000- the highest and the best snow, purpose built this is a modern place with ample bars and restaurants, many ski in /ski out residences.Having stayed in all 3 places over the past few years all offer fantastic skiing and link brilliantly around the mountains and with the New link lift accross to La Plagne making this the biggest ski area in the alps (now bigger than 3 valleys)
Always seems snow sure , with a variety of skiing on offer, good for all levels of skiing and boarding.NOTE- Although the 3 levels are easy to access on the slopes, getting form Arc 1800 to Arc 2000 by bus takes 45 minutes and the link isnt regular, so dont make the mistake of having a group split over the areas as they wont be able to just pop over for some beers.
Prices are comparable with the rest of the Alps- Expensive!Cost of 1 week Catered Chalet £350 Lift passes appox £120 (depends on the size of area you are going to cover)

I love the French Alps too (lived an hour and a half away from them nearly all my life), although I'm not that keen on skiing (always found staying at the bar better!!!)... Am knew at writting reviews too and have noticed that people like a lot of details and especially long reviews (but mine are still quiet short because I don't want to bore people!) Christelle
