Region Paradiski - Les Arcs

425 kilometres piste

1200 metres - 3226 metres

   

This very varied and snow-certain area has excellent connections between the pistes and villages. The ski area consists of the following villages: Les Arcs 1600, 1800, 1950 and 2000. All villages in this area are car-free and very child-friendly. The villages are connected with each other via a ski bus. In the forms of entertainment Arc 1800 offers the most après ski. Peisy-Vallandry is an excellent place for the whole family. It's a cosy village with mostly chalets, and not as many high-rise apartments that you usually found in the more modern villages.

This area has much to offer, to both beginning and to advanced skiers. Arc 2000 is for the advanced skiers the best main attraction. The neighbouring Aiguille Rouge has a number of good black pistes. Advanced skiers can also do 'Speed Flying', which is a combination of skiing and parapenting.

For snowboarders there is a varied snow park with jumps, a boardercross and sometimes a halfpipe between the lifts Arpette and Fretes. Nearby Arc 2000 there is a halfpipe which is sometimes opened at night.

The Vanoise Express goes from Peisey-Vallandry to Les Coches, in the ski area La Plagne. The Vanoise Express is a big cabin lift (for more than 200 people). It only takes four minutes for the lift to go to Les Coches! With this connection you can ski in two large ski areas, together nicknamed 'Paradiski', which offers you a total of 425 km of slopes!

Cross-country skiers have only 5 kilometres of loipes in each village. It is better for the real cross-country skier to swerve to Peisey-Vallandry with 43 kilometres of loipes in the valley.

It is possible to walk by foot to Vallandry, a journey of 3 kilometres through the forest. For the good walker Arc 2000 is attainable. Furthermore you can also make Bigfoot walks.

In Les Arcs and Peisey-Vallandry it's also possible to 'breakfast ski'. This means you take a special lift to one of the mountain peaks to enjoy a breakfast during sunrise, after which a guide helps you to make your first descent of the day.
