I am a seasoned skier and have been skiing for the past 24 years, as a holiday skier, and I can honestly say Les Arcs is the best ski resort I have been to. I went there about 3 years ago, and our hotel - the name escapes me - was built into the side of the mountain in Arc 2000. The boot room was on the top floor, which confused us on the first day. We went to the boot room got ready for our first days skiing, as we stepped out on to the snow we were greeted with our own downward slope on to the main chair lift which then took us to various parts of the Les Arcs mountains. Because of the location of the hotel we never needed to walk or use the ski bus to gain access to the slopes. And when we finished our days skiing, we skiied towards our hotel to get the hotels own drag lift back to the boot room. Whoever designed this hotel and the skiing access deserves a medal. The whole ski area, which was enormous catered for every level of skiier, from beginners to the very expert. We were there for one week and skied a different part of the mountain AM & PM and still did not cover all the slopes.
Perhaps we need to ski a little quicker ! I can't find anything to complain about Les Arcs, except maybe a little expensive. During the evenings there were ski shows on the lower slopes, complete with traditional brass bands, BBQ's, hot dog stands etc. So if you want a memorable ski holiday, try Les Arcs you're bound to enjoy it.
