Les Arcs Ski Trip
from £699 pp
Les Arcs ski area is one of the world's largest with one of the biggest verticals and has an excellent variety of terrain. The ski area takes in glacier skiing, wooded slopes and above tree-line bowls - in short pretty well all imaginable conditions.
The terrain will suit all levels of skier with Arc 1600 based in thickly wooded terrain, surrounded by largely gentle trails through the trees, and both 1800 and 2000 located at the treeline with wide open sunny slopes above. Intermediates, as with all 'super ski areas' can perhaps get the maximum enjoyment of all, being able to tackle most of the slopes.
Much of the terrain is long fast motorway cruising, although there is more variety than at many comparable resorts. Experts have plenty to keep them happy including extensive off-piste terrain. The legendary 7km (4.5) mile long black from the top of the Aiguille Rouge down to Villaroger is one of the world's longest and covers the world's biggest vertical for a run of this grading, a full 2000 metres.
The Vanoise Express cable car, which departs from Peisey Vallandry, takes 200 people at a time (120 on the lower deck, 80 on the upper one) over to La Plagne and the joint Paradiski area in just four minutes, giving access to over 425km of skiable piste!
This is definitely a "must ski" resort for any seriousl skier and comes highly recommended. There are is an abundance of varied apres ski activities to keep your group entertained such as bowling, ice skating, cinema etc
