Advantages: Massive ski area, no queues, well kept pistes Disadvantages: A little expensive
I am a seasoned skier and have been skiing for the past 24 years, as a holiday skier, and I can honestly say LesArcs 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 LesArcs 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 ...

Advantages: Huge Ski Area-Huge bar area! Disadvantages: French Airports!
One of teh most famous resorts in the Alps, LesArcs 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 ...

Advantages: ease of access, huge ski area, good resorts, excellent apres ski Disadvantages: poorly groomed pistes and very busy at weekends
It is very easy to get to, about 7/8 hours easy driving from Calais, you can take the Eurostar from London straight to Bourg St Maurice (which is the town at the foot of the mountains, below the three resorts Arc Pierre Blanche, Arc 1800 and Arc 20000 which make up the resort of LesArcs) or you can fly to either Lyon or Geneva which are both about 3 hours drive from the resorts.
Arc Peirre Blanche is connected to Bourg St Maurice by Funicular Railway or there is a regular bus service to take you to the three high altitude ski resorts.
Arc 1800 is the biggest and busiest and is great for all standards and abilities of skiers, and also families as there is a choice of several kindergartens and kid ski schools. Also, the resort is traffic free, all vehicles having to park on the outskirts. There are plenty of bars, restaurants ...
