Ski area Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry (Paradiski)

With the "Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry" lift pass, you can use 200 km and therefore a total of 125 pistes and over 53 lifts, including a top modern 8-seater gondola, in the Les Arcs and Peisey-Vallandry areas. The ski area is very snow-sure, as most of the pistes are above 1,800 metres. Thanks to its many varied runs, Les Arcs has something for everyone! There are impressive deep snow areas, especially on the Grand Col, and freestylers will get their money's worth in the Apocalypse Snowpark in Arc 1800. Beginners, on the other hand, tend to stay in the lower parts at Arcs 1600 and 1800.

A must for all fit skiers is the world-famous "Aiguille Rouge" piste on the mountain of the same name: with an altitude difference of 2,026 metres, it leads from the summit (3,226 metres) over 7 km along steep rocky slopes down to Villaroger. This makes it the piste with the greatest difference in altitude in Europe.

Boarders will feel like they're in heaven in the ski area: fantastic powder slopes, a halfpipe and 2 fun parks promise heavenly fun! There are three areas for children: in Les Arcs 1800 and 2000 as well as a large one in Peisey-Vallandry, where the 7 km long "de la Forêt" piste is one of the longest beginners' runs in Europe. The children's magic land is sure to make every child's heart beat faster.

With the upgrade to the "Paradiski Illimité" lift pass, you can also use the ski area around La Plagne and thus a total of 425 km of pistes and 127 lifts! The two-storey Vanoise Express cable car connects the areas of Les Arcs and La Plagne. This means you can easily switch ski areas and have access to 60 free Wi-Fi spots. You can also take advantage of numerous benefits with a 6-day "Paradiski Illimité" lift pass, such as additional skiing in the afternoon on the day of arrival, 1 x free entry to the Village Igloo Arc 2000 ice cave and much more (see information on site).

There are also two panoramic terraces with views of Mont Blanc: Le Vallandry at 2,138 metres above sea level, with practice facilities for beginners and a museum of the local fauna, and Belvédère der Carreley at 2,300 metres above sea level. Here you will find two terraces with several photo spots and free Wi-Fi.

Night skiing Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry (Paradiski)

The Paradiski ski region is also a real paradise when it comes to night skiing. The centre of night skiing is in the piste area of Les Arcs. Popular night skiing is possible on three night ski pistes at different altitudes. An approximately 1 km long blue piste is floodlit in Les Arcs 1600. The Combettes 3-seater chairlift takes you up to the floodlit piste during the extended operating hours. There is also a floodlit piste in Les Arcs 1800, which is located slightly higher up. The Marmottes 6-seater chairlift takes you up to the blue piste, which is also around 1 km long. Both pistes are of an easy level and are also easily accessible for everyone in the evening under floodlights.

A night skiing highlight for boarders and freestylers can be found in the "Mille 8" in Les Arcs' Chantel district. Every Thursday, the boardercross fun area "Les Bosses" is illuminated with LED lights until 20:30. It is located at the top station of the Villard gondola.

Après ski Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry (Paradiski)

The après-ski in Les Arcs is mainly concentrated in Arc 1800, with numerous discos, cafés, bars and pubs providing a great atmosphere in the evenings. Those who want to turn night into day will find like-minded people in the "Apokalypse" or "Le J.O.".

A wide range of leisure activities in Les Arcs tempt you to spend a day away from the slopes! From dog and horse-drawn sleigh rides, snowtubing, heli-skiing, winter hiking, ice climbing or bowling to paragliding and a laser arcade - no one will be bored here. Those who want to experience something special should not miss out on a discovery tour to the ice grotto at Col de la Chal with its ice sculptures.

But those looking for variety directly in the ski area will also get their money's worth here. Even non-skiers can easily reach a toboggan run by cable car or the 3,800 m² Aqua Fun Centre, which offers slides, swimming pools and a glass lift with a direct view of Mont Blanc.

Snowpark Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry (Paradiski): Snow park

In Les Arcs you will find a snow park that is really worth seeing. It is located between Arc 1600 and Arc 1800 and can be reached via the Clair Blanc chairlift. In addition to 14 different kickers, which are divided into different levels of difficulty, the park has 9 rails and 2 jibs. A big air bag is available for all daredevils so that they can take their tricks to the next level. Riders can relax in the chill zone and watch the others perform tricks and magic. Various boardercross trails, spread throughout the entire Les Arcs area, round off the freestyle offer.

Freestylers will find another park for beginners and advanced riders as well as a boardercross trail and a big air bag in La Plagne.
