Les Arcs

A pioneer in 1968 with a strong identity as an integrated ski and “summer-winter” resort, the Arcs ski area is continuing its transformation to revamp its unique location and offer a year-round playground open to all. A major, innovative international resort, its efforts are currently focused on renewing the Vallée de l’Arc, with its incredible environment and panoramic views, by redefining it in a comprehensive, sustainable way.

World-famous for its integrated architecture, a pioneer of new snow sports, and the birthplace of snowboarding in Europe, the resort is the most avant-garde resort in the Alps.
With its 435 km of pistes at altitudes ranging between 1,200 and 3,226 m, Les Arcs – Paradiski is one of the world's largest ski areas, and has set several records with the largest cable car in the world at the time of commissioning, and the Aiguille Rouge piste that offers the longest altitude drop in Europe.

The Arcs/ Peisey-Vallandry area has succeeded in acquiring the necessary means to ensure smooth traffic flow very early on. The funicular between Bourg-Saint-Maurice and Arc 1600 this year celebrated its 30th year in operation. It is now making way for new ultra-modern, fully-glazed trains with a panoramic view.
As such, after the Pré-Saint-Esprit chair lift last winter, the new Comborcière four-seater chair lift today provides faster access to a wider slope equipped with artificial snow and boasting an unobstructed view of Mont Blanc. 
The ski area is constantly investing to promote its iconic location, with a single goal: providing everyone with easy access to exceptional panoramic.
Last winter, it built an unprecedented walkway at Aiguille Rouge, its peak, built by INGELO and Les Arcs Domaine Skiable (ADS) in collaboration with the local ecosystem.
The Paradiski YUGE mobile app is another symbol of this determination to showcase an exceptional ski area.

Since 2012, the ski area has thus established an environmental observatory, fully integrated into the process of preparing and designing new development projects.
The area is also working towards the sound management and consumption of its resources: use of electricity from renewable energy sources only and of less-polluting GTL fuel, installation of photovoltaic panels …

Today, the ski area has the largest number of renovated beds of Compagnie des Alpes, thanks to the efforts of Foncière Rénovation Montagne and incentives to encourage owners. The renewal and dynamism of the area, driven by the Group, also enhance the establishment of attractive resorts targeting French and international customers.
