Arcs 1600 village

Arcs 1600 is set in the trees and has a friendly, small scale atmosphere and enjoys views along the Tarentaise Valley and towards Mont Blanc making this an ideal option for those wanting to benefit from an extensive ski area such as Paradiski whilst staying in a more tranquil environment than neighbouring Arcs 1800.

The central area is particularly good for families as it is uncrowded, compact and set on even ground.

Free shuttle bus services run between Arcs 1600, Arcs 1800, Arcs 1950 and Arcs 2000.

Ski & Snowboard Access:

There is good ski and snowboarding access with three chairlifts out of the village and a selection of blue and red runs back after a day on the ski slopes.
South-west facing and with extensive tree-lined skiing enabling descents to the unspoilt villages below resort level, Arcs 1600 is an ‘all weather’ ski area that holds the snow well. Artificial snow-making machines also mean that skiing back to the village is virtually guaranteed.
