Les Arcs 2000 (2000)

| Arc 2000 is a purpose built resort and probably the ugliest in Les Arcs although it does offer good skiing and snowboarding access. |
Ski & Snowboard Access: The Glacier du Varet guarantees snow – though the height of Les Arcs makes the snow record good. Being mainly a purpose built resort means that the slopes are well laid out and moving around is generally quick and easy with no major queues. A high percentage of runs are above 2000m which means that you can stay high when necessary.
Experts will be very happy trying out the vertical drop of over 200m from the top of the Aiguille Rouge down to Le Pre. There are various off piste opportunities in most areas of the resort.
Intermediates have plenty to choose from – and this area particularly suits mixed ability groups as most runs have an easy and a more difficult route to choose from.
Beginners have nursery slopes just above the three main villages of 1600, 1800 and 2000 and a wide range of blues to progress on to.
For snowboarders there is a flood lit half pipe in 2000 which attracts some of the world top snowboarders. |

For childcare in les Arcs 2000 Les Farfadets offers private nannies. Otherwise there are crèches available through some British holiday companies such as Ski Beat in Plan Peisey, les Arcs but this is only offered to those staying in their catered ski chalets.
