Arc 2000

Each resort has its own culture, stemming from its history and the character it has developed. Arc 2000 is one of a kind: the latest addition to the ski area of Les Arcs, at the very end of the road, an island in the mountains, at the foot of the majestic Aiguille Rouge.
This elegant peak dominates the whole Arc 2000 area, set out as a wide valley, whose slopes offer accessible, pleasant and recreational skiing for all. Even novice skiers can enjoy the slopes of the resort. For example, the boardercross areas offer fun routes for several skiers at once, to be enjoyed with friends and family.
The more sporting among you will head up on foot to the top of Aiguille Grive, to view the full panorama of the Alps. This incredible view point is just a few minutes' walk away... but make sure you're in good company, as this is an off-piste area.
Aiguille Rouge is one of those places that seems to have been designed specially for ski enthusiasts, with its 7km slope.
Arc 2000 is actually a miniature ski resort in itself: human-sized with shops, its own atmosphere and activities (such as the ice rink) all at hand... and you'll soon forget about your car during your stay in this pedestrian resort. Over thirty years, its architecture has changed too, adapting to changing trends with residences designed as cosy chalets.
"There is a feeling of a high-altitude resort, surrounded by peaks, with Aiguille Rouge and Aiguille Grive in the midst of the mountains, and Mont Blanc always on the horizon. It helps you disconnect totally from everyday life, and really make the most of the cosiness of the natural surroundings", explains one regular visitor.
Finally, a word of advice if you really want to experience the spirit of the place, head for the secret Belliou La Fumée restaurant, right at the bottom of the resort. It is a true haven of peace and mountain culture, with traditional dishes to warm your body and soul. The name of the chalet, borrowed from a Jack London character, is like a voyage in itself.
