Arc 1600 is the original resort of the area and is situated at the top of the funicular railway that snakes up the mountain from Bourg St Maurice, the rail head town in the valley below. There is little more to Arc 1600 than a series of low-rise apartment blocks containing hundreds of rather smal...

Arc 1800 is the main resort of the Les Arcs region and has most to offer with regards nightlife, resort atmosphere, shops, bars, amenities etc. It also has a great central position within the Les Arcs ski area giving swift and easy access to one of the World's largest ski areas - the Paradiski re...
