LES ARCS
We have chosen Les Arcs because of its massive amounts of varied terrain. Whitelines snowboard magazine ranked Les Arcs as one of the best overall resorts in the world; New link with La Plagne (200 person double decker gondola spans the valley!) is now open creating one of the largest areas in the world with over 400km of piste and unlimited possibilities off piste, new combined area is called Paradiski.

Les Arcs history is steeped in snowboarding heritage. about to snowboarding legend and forefather Regis Rolland. Truly a snowboard friendly resort. Pick up a snowboard video with European coverage and no doubt there will be footage from Les Arcs.

Les Arcs has so much to offer: high altitude snow guaranteed pistes, tree runs, hidden villages, kicker building terrain, gully’s, powder fields, gentle beginner slopes and plenty more.


Quotes from World Snowboard Guide:

Les Arcs has it all from mellow beginner slopes to some of the most challenging runs anywhere in France, with hardly any moguls. You can be guaranteed an amazing day through trees in Peisey or above 1600, off cornices or just straight lining everything. A great freeriders resort with lots of off-piste and powder, plus natural hits to explore.

Overall rating 9 out of 10


Pleisure Chalet PH1 is in Peisey an authentic mountain village, with direct access into Les Arcs area and only minutes from gondola to La Plagne. The runs above Peisey meander through the forest back to the villages and have good snow cover throughout season, the place to head on powder days or during poor visibility. With good beginner areas, tree runs and superb terrain of natural kickers there is plenty for everyone. For the more adventurous there is unlimited off piste to be found. Looking out from chalet on La Plagne side is the north face of the Bellecote glacier offering a superb off piste route back to the villages, will become a classic with the opening of the new link. Peisey has a number of bars, restaurants, supermarket and newsagents/tabac.
