Hotel Arcadien in in Arc 1600 welcomes you to its two fine restaurants.

Alpine collection of minerals from around Bourg St Maurice and Mont Blanc and slideshows on the wildlife of the Alps.

Exhibits and short films about pressing apples in the Savoie region which includes information about experiments conducted to see how to preserve the juice. 

Situated at the top of the Transarc gondola in Arc 2000, the “Grotte de Glace” is quite an extraordinary place to visit. Dozens of sculptors from all over Europe spend a week here at the start of each season, carving wonderfully exotic figures out of the snow and ice.

The Vanoise National Park is one of the highlights of the Tarentaise region. 

Les Arcs golf course has 18 holes with open parkland and mountain scenery. Undulating terrain with several slopes to climb.

In the centre of Les Arcs 1600, at the Place Haute, is the lift pass office. 

At the front of the slopes at Place du Charvet is one of the lift pass offices in Les Arcs 1800.

In the centre of Les Arcs and close to the Teleseige de la Vagere is one of the two lift pass offices ins Arc 1800.

Just by the funiculare in Bourg St Maurice, you can purchase lift passes for Les Arcs and the Paradiski ski area.

Right at the front of the pistes is the lift pass office of Les Arcs 1950. 

Situated in the Place Olympique in Les Arcs 2000 is the lift pass office where you can pick up lift passes, pedestrian passes, lift information and piste maps. 

Arc 1600 is also one of the smallest of the villages. Despite recent large-scale developments, it retains its quaint ‘local’ feel and provides excellent access to the rest of the mountain and Bourg St Maurice in the valley.

Arc 1800 truly has it all. Consisting of four intertwined high-altitude villages, it gives superlative access to the pistes and trails of Les Arcs whilst featuring a large number of stand-alone attractions, great nightlife and a well-populated annual calendar of events. 

Bourg St Maurice acts as a local hub for events, transport and commerce. It's the year-round beating heart of the Les Arcs area, boasting a train station which not only links to the mountainside resorts by a rapidly-ascending funicular railway but also provides international connections such as the direct rail route to London. There are regular events throughout the year and innumerable places to eat, drink and shop.

Developed by the same company as Whistler in Canada, Arc 1950 is an exceptionally pretty, compact, high-altitude village just below Arc 2000. It feels like a Disney set, with the whole resort completely pedestrianised and car free. In fact, you can ski right through the centre during the winter. With all the accommodation (and shops and restaurants) allowing ski-in-ski-out access to the pistes, it's absolutely ideal for a winter break.

Arc 2000 is, perhaps unfairly, considered one of the least pretty resorts in Les Arcs. Whilst the surrounding landscape is typically spectacularly beautiful, the village itself is not the most aesthetically-pleasing. It is, however, surprisingly compact and therefore very effective as both a winter and summer resort.

Although the Peisey-Vallandry resort is officially a pair of villages, Plan Peisey and Vallandry, they are completely joined up, with the only major indication of a schism being the existence of two separate snow fronts.
