Family-friendly areas in Les Arcs

Les Arcs is a great choice for family holidays, offering accommodation close to nursery slopes and essential facilities so you can spend more time on the snow and less tripping around in ski boots. Quieter villages are ideal for younger children, with easy access to the Paradiski area and a relaxed pace, while busier villages provide plenty of off-slope activities for older children to burn off energy.

Cheap accommodation in Les Arcs

Les Arcs is well known for affordable places to stay, making it easier to find a bargain than in many other Alpine resorts. The further you stay from the centre, the cheaper the accommodation tends to be. Plan Peisey, Vallandry and Peisey Nancroix all offer great-value apartments and chalets, while Arc 1600 has some older but renovated properties high on the mountain. There are plenty of options for self-catered or catered stays to suit your budget.

Ski-in ski-out hot spots in Les Arcs

Staying right on the slopes in Les Arcs means you can step outside and ski straight onto the pistes. Ski-in ski-out accommodation is especially popular in the higher villages, offering snow-sure skiing and quick access to some of the best runs in the Paradiski area. While this convenience can come at a premium, there’s nothing better than returning to your doorstep after a day on the slopes and kicking off your boots before stepping inside.

Party accommodation in Les Arcs

1800 is where to head to for the party side of a skiing holiday. Set at the heart of the action, there are bars, restaurants, nightlife and plenty of varied accommodation.
