Les Arcs is part of the huge Paradiski area, with over 200km of slopes to explore and even more linked terrain over in La Plagne. It’s a brilliant choice for school trips, with something for everyone - wide, gentle runs for beginners, plenty of cruisy blues and reds for building confidence, and more challenging slopes for advanced skiers. The high altitude also means reliable snow, so perfect for Spring skiing.
Skiing in Les Arcs, France is a high-energy, high-altitude experience set in the heart of the French Alps, where wide-open slopes and dramatic mountain scenery come together across a huge interconnected ski area. The resort is made up of several purpose-built villages linked by fast lifts and ski runs, so you can spend entire days exploring different sectors of the mountain without repeating the same routes.
The skiing itself suits all levels, but it’s especially popular with intermediates thanks to long, flowing blue and red runs that stretch through the trees and out onto expansive glacier views. More confident skiers can head higher for steeper terrain and off-piste options, often with fresh powder between snowfall cycles due to the altitude.
One of the standout features is how easy it is to cover serious mileage in a day, especially when linked with La Plagne to form the Paradiski area. Add in modern lift systems, lively après-ski in the villages, and that mix of forested lower runs with wide alpine bowls higher up, and Les Arcs delivers a varied, fast-moving ski experience that feels big, open, and full of variety.
After skiing, there’s plenty to keep students busy too, from swimming and bowling to ice skating and relaxed time exploring the resort’s shops and cafés. There is a continuous shuttle bus that connects Les Arcs’ five villages, for even further exploration.
The Altezza Hotel in the heart of Les Arcs 1800 is a contemporary, yet cosy hotel with a fantastic spa area, bright rooms with balconies & ample space for relaxing in the hotel’s bar and restaurant areas. Complete with panoramic views of the Tarantaise valley.
A simple green slope is a short distance away. The main slopes and resort are 500m
Children are well catered for and there are some brilliant terrace areas and cosy lounge fireplaces offering the perfect post ski locations for relaxing.
