Great for beginners and intermediates. Snow sure for later in the season. Family friendly but lots going on for those looking for apres ski. Good variety of food. Beautiful scenery. Great choice of ski runs for skiers and boarders alike.

Have stayed many times and always had good snow. This season there was less than usual but still enough to ski the whole area right down to the village. Was quieter that usual when we were there but didn’t detract from experience. Everything you need is very accessible so you can maximise your time, which is especially useful for shorter stays.

Excellent skiing, nice places to stop. Loads of variety. Easy to get around Les Arcs, which is a big ski area on its own. It is a little bit of a trek between the two halves of Paradiski but it is worth the trouble - La Plagne is superb too..

Arc 1800 has plenty of bars and places to eat. If you like a lively location then this is for you (but not noisy over night). I watched football in nearby busy sports bar in Villards and used the Sherpa supermarket and ski hire in Villards. Best to stock up with food in Bourg Saint Maurice if you can as it's cheaper than at Arc 1800. It's a good location if you want to visit La Plagne as just one ski lift then downhill to the Vanoise express. Also on return just one ski lift up then ski back to Arc 1800. If you want a quaint French style village then look at Arc 1950. Certainly worth visiting Arc 1950 for lunch.

We liked …. The amenities, shops, choice of restaurants, things to do for non skiers. Easy connection to other ski areas, well marked pistes for skiers of all levels. We did not like the massive queue there and back on the main road between Bourg St Maurice and Moutiers. On our return it took us 3 hours to drive 20km on this valley road and would make us think twice about choosing Arc 1800 in future.

Great snow and huge choice of runs and lifts. Not that many green slopes, but heaps of blues and not too challenging. Some reds and very few blacks open. Plenty of places to go during the day for food etc, but almost no night life at all - even for families. We only found one restaurant in Charmettoger, and luckily it was superb (amazing pizza also doing local Savoie food). Queues in the (only?) supermarket were often very long, so we ended up going to a tiny bijou artisan shop, and were grateful we had brought most of our food with us! Parking was straightforward once we realised you had to get a ticket to enter the town, and there was space in the surface parks - luckily we didn't need a covered space as there weren't any. The biggest problem for us was that the Satnav took us via Landry/Vallandry, which is only available through the forest in the summer - it's a ski run in the winter!! This involved a 1hr trip up to Vallandry in the middle of the night, then all the way down again when we realised we couldn't get through. If you are driving go via BOURG ST MAURICE!!!!
