This year, Saturday 15th December is a very significant date indeed. Not only will the Les Arcs lifts open, ferrying the first, fortunate passengers of its 50th year as a fantastic ski area, but it is also the 10th anniversary week of the annual Les Arcs Film Festival. Snow, movies and birthdays all round, it’s going to be a great time to celebrate!

There is only a month left before the ski-lifts reopen and, whilst thoughts naturally turn to the snowy slopes, the start of the season also brings a wealth of “extra-curricular” entertainments to keep you feeling good during your stay.
