The resort is organized into several villages, each with its own distinct character. All are linked and offer doorstep access to the Paradiski area.

Beyond the slopes, Les Arcs offers a variety of activities for visitors to enjoy. Families can explore the charming villages, visit the local ice rink, or try their hand at snowshoeing. For those seeking a more adventurous experience, there are opportunities for winter hiking, ice climbing, or even a dog sledding adventure. After a day on the slopes, unwind in one of the resort's cozy bars or restaurants, or enjoy a relaxing spa treatment. Les Arcs also hosts a variety of events throughout the season, including live music and cultural festivals.

The Vanoise Express is a double decker, glass bottom cable car that allows you to explore the nearby resort of La Plagne for those that really want to stretch their ski legs...but don't look down!
