Golf
A par 70 18 hole golf course is situated in les Arcs, alongside a 9 hole par 27 course. There is also a driving range and golf school.
Skiing
The great ski areas of les Arcs and la Plagne are now linked by the Vanoise Express cable car to form the Paradiski ski area with Peisey Vallandry as the hub. This gives direct access to over 400km of marked pistes from 1200m to 3200m altitude including the 2000m vertical drop Aiguille Rouge piste, 2 glaciers, snowparks, and a huge extent of reknowned off piste skiing. Lift passes vary from a simple half day pass for the Peisey Vallandry area to a pass covering all the Les Arcs & La Plagne ski area. For younger skiers there is a creche with organised games and introduction to skiing in the snow 'garden'. For older beginners, there are long blue pistes through the woods from the Poudreuse mountain restaurant right back to the village. There are excellent ski schools with English speaking instructors for group and individual lessons, and guides are available for offpiste tours. Cross country skiing (including Nordic biathlon) is provided for in the picturesque Nancroix valley.
Travel
By air - to Chambery or Annecy (1.5 hrs), Lyon, Grenoble or Geneva (2.5 hrs). By train - from London or Paris direct to Landry. By car - (7 hrs from Paris, 10 hrs from Calais). We recommend that you have a car at the chalet to enjoy the surrounding area in summer, although in winter, it is not necessary and is possible to get there by public transport (train to Landry and bus or taxi to the chalet).
Further details
The village itself is smaller and less commercial than some other ski stations and has been developed with a traditional alpine architectural style. Situated at 1650m altitude, and with modern snow cannons and extensive skiing available over 2000m including 2 glaciers, it has reliable snow cover through the season. It has all the shops and services necessary for your holiday and there are a range of bars and restaurants in the village - from the lively apres ski Mont Blanc bar through to the local highly rated Ancolie restaurant (excellent traditional Savoyard restaurant). There are also a number of excellent restaurants on the mountain. Summer activities include paragliding, white water rafting, golf (9 and 18 hole courses), tennis, climbing, mountain biking and fishing. The Vanoise National Park with it's extensive trekking opportunities is nearby - you can stay in a refuge overnight and see the unique Alpine wildlife.
