Arc 1950, a unique moutain resort

The most beautiful views to Mont Blanc

20 years ago, a totally new, ground-breaking and innovative mountain village concept was born. A pedestrian-only resort, with skis on, where the only sound to disturb the silence would be the crunch of skis in the snow.

Built in the heart of the French Alps, this ski resort is incomparable in its design, its ideal position facing Mont Blanc and its location in the Paradiski  area and on the biking trails in summer. Not to mention the homogeneity and quality of its residences, that are all classified 5*.

The decor, the facades with their shimmering colours, the charm of the little squares, the diversity and quality of the services proposed make Arc 1950 a harmonious place where the traditional life in a Savoie village is combined with the facilities of modern life and the services offered in the largest Alpine ski resorts.

With its 3 600 beds, it is like a cocoon where everything you need is close at hand

A family mountain village where it’s all about the kids!

Arc 1950 is more than just a ski resort: it’s a paradise for families.

Small and totally car-free, this is a safe, family-friendly ski resort where you can let your children play without any risks. They will always be within view.

Throughout the village, games are available for children to enjoy and discover life in the Alps in an enchanting setting. The streets of the resort, transformed into ski slopes, allow them to discover the joys of the mountains while having fun. From sledging to snowman making to snowball fights, there are a thousand reasons to enjoy a family stay in the Village. 

In summer, it’s always party time! The resort is a magical place with its many events. The rest of the week, in addition to the entertainment open to all, you can make the most of the Outdoor activities which offers three free activity sessions.

All the services you need are at hand

For a successful ski holiday, the Arc 1950 village offers a unique experience combining all the facilities of modern life with the charms of mountain villages. The resort is completely pedestrianised, making its streets an extension of the ski slopes in the Paradiski ski area. Skiers and residents of Arc 1950 can glide right from the door of their residence and return without taking off their skis. The ski slope through the village is marked by signs dedicated to a film star who has taken part in the Film Festival and is also a wonderful shopping route! You can take your shoes off right in front of the entrance to the shops! 

The heart of the Village is made up of around forty shops so that you can go window shopping with your skis on after a day on the slopes. Would you like to buy a little souvenir of your holiday in the mountains or bring back a Savoyard culinary speciality? You will find what you need in one of the village shops. Sweets or toys for the youngest, "Les Arcs France" souvenirs and mountain and Savoie products for the older ones.

And for the gourmets, there is a wide choice of restaurants! Between gastronomic dishes, Savoyard specialities, or vegan cuisine, you will want to try everything.

For a moment of absolute serenity, the Deep Nature Spa welcomes you in a unique setting with a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc. 

The essential services are of course also there: daycare, ski schools...

Restaurateurs in “green” mode

All the Village’s stakeholders want to contribute to preserving the unique environment of the ski area by committing to sustainable development.

After replacing all the lightbulbs in the car park with LED bulbs to reduce electricity consumption, it is now the turn of the restaurateurs to highlight ecological issues.

In the 8 à Huit, there is a deli counter with hot homemade dishes to take away in biodegradable containers, with bamboo cutlery. There is also a range of organic items with some produce sold loose.

The Wood Bear Café proposes generous gourmet cuisine with a selection of homemade dishes, local specialities and a range of organic, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices. As part of its commitment to the anti-plastic campaign, plastic straws are being replaced by stainless steel ones. The restaurant will also be selling its own new coffee mugs with the Wood Bear Café logo to replace takeaway coffee cups.

For a rapid savoury snack, Cascade Sucrée is proposing several types of pasta with homemade sauces and a typical Savoyard speciality: the Hot Diot. Adapted from the famous hot dog, the Hot Diot consists of crusty bread and a diot sausage cooked in white wine.

Le Mazot and Brasserie 1950 have vegan / veggie options on their lunch and dinner menus.
