A Christmas village will be set up in the centre of Arc 1800 to welcome Santa Claus.

The afternoon of 23rd December will be full of events from 16:00 until 19:00, a grand parade plus photo ops with Santa Claus and free mulled wine and hot chocolate. Christmas sweets and luminous hats will also be handed out to everyone taking part in the festivities in the purest traditions of Christmas and New Year celebrations.

On Christmas Eve around midday you'll find giant inflatable horses dancing through the streets of the village. Made of white and ivory materials, they are symbols of peace, purity and spirit.

On Christmas Day there will be a children's torchlit descent with the local ski instructors, who will create a beautiful spectacle on the mountainside as they ski back down to the village. An unforgettable and simply magical moment, culminating in hot chocolate and fireworks amongst the pine trees.
