ARC 1950, A UNIQUE SKI RESORT IN THE ALPS

An extraordinary family mountain getaway

Mont Blanc has found its most beautiful setting...

Twenty years ago, an entirely innovative concept of a mountain village was born—pioneering and forward-thinking. An entirely pedestrian resort where only the sound of skis gliding on snow would interrupt the silence.

Nestled in the heart of the French Alps, this luxury ski resort is unmatched due to its concept, its ideal location facing Mont Blanc, and its access to the Paradiski ski area in winter, as well as mountain biking trails in summer. Not to mention the consistency and quality of its accommodations, all rated 5 stars.

With its 3,600 beds, it is a cocoon where everything you need is within reach.

Its decor, vibrant-colored facades, charming squares, and the diversity and quality of services offered make Arc 1950 a harmonious place where the relaxed lifestyle of Savoie villages blends with the conveniences of modern life and the services provided in the largest ski resorts in the Alps.

At the heart of the ski area, Arc 1950 le Village allows you to rediscover winter holidays. The village streets, transformed into ski slopes, enable you to reach the entrance of your residence with your skis on! Check the Les Arcs webcam to prepare for your vacation.
