Travel- Road:
By Car: Motorway through France to Albertville, dual carriageway to Moutiers and then RN to Bourg St Maurice. A wide mountain road then leads directly up to Les Arcs 1800 where there is ample free outside parking or paid inside parking. The mountain road is regularly kept clear of snow but chains or four wheel drive are essential. The alternative is to leave your car in Bourg St Maurice at the foot of the mountain and take the funicular railway up to the resort.
Travel - Rail and Air:
Trains run from the UK direct to Bourg St Maurice from where you can either take a taxi or the funicular railway up the mountain.
The resort is served by Lyon, Grenoble, Chambery or Geneva airports. The airport websites will give details of onward transfers to Les Arcs.
Ski:
The apartment is well placed for easy access to the pistes and lifts. The flat is on level nine and apartment lifts will take you to level eleven. From there a short walk and one flights of stairs takes you to the snow. After a gentle downhill glide, a six man chairlift will take you further up the mountain. At the end of the day you are able to ski back to where you started in the morning, conditions permitting.
Les Arcs comprises of four centres 1600, 1800, 1950 and 2000. All centres are interlinked by an efficient lift system that can carry over 85000 people per hour. There are over 121 ski runs measuring over 200 kms.
In addition, there is a gondola link to La Plagne and the 'Paradiski' ski pass covers over 400 kms of marked pistes, surely enough for anyone!
SUMMER - In July and August a number of ski lifts operate to take walkers and cyclists up the mountains. There are over 40 activities on offer including golf, swimming, white water rafting and tennis.
