You've made up your mind – you want to come to Les Arcs on your next holiday. But where to stay? Let us help you choose.
Les Arcs is one of the most popular ski resorts in the world, located at the heart of the Paradiski ski area.
There are several towns and villages that come under the umbrella of the brand ‘Les Arcs’: four high-altitude and three lower-lying, each with their own character.
As with any resort, the best place to stay depends on who you’re travelling with, what you like to do, and how deep your pockets are. When it comes to booking accommodation in Les Arcs, there is certainly no shortage of choice.
Whether you're looking for luxury hotels, chalets for large groups or apartments that are as close to the lifts as possible, you’ll find it all here.
Chalets in Les Arcs offer the perfect alpine base for your winter or summer holiday, from traditional Savoyard-style farmhouses to modern contemporary properties. You can choose between self-catered chalets for exclusive use or catered options where you share with other guests. Sizes suit couples, families or larger groups, and many feature ski-to-door access, terraces with stunning views, and luxury touches such as hot tubs or cinema rooms. Booking early ensures you get the right dates and style for your group.
