Les Arcs

With the introduction of the brand new connection between Les Arcs and La Plagne, Les Arcs has become one of the most talked about ski resorts in the world.

Les Arcs 2000 is located just below the Aiguille Rouge with spectacular views of the Mont Blanc, where the first and best snow falls, it is in the heart of the Les Arcs ski domain, one of the most extensive and varied ski areas of the world. The Grand Domaine of Les Arcs-La Plagne has a new name - Paradiski - and has now become one of the largest ski areas in the world, as Les Arcs and La Plagne are now linked by the longest cable car of its type ever built. The cabins are large enough for 200 people and cross the Ponthurin Vally in just 4 minutes.

 Found in the Tarentaise, Les Arcs sits directly above the town of Bourg St Maurice. Although 15km by road the resort can also be reached by funicular from Bourg St Maurice. It was created by the visionary Robert Blanc in 1968, who was responsible for the revolutionary teaching method 'Ski Evolutif'. This system - where you get longer skis as you improve - is still used there today.

 Skiing

One of the most extensive and varied ski domains in the world - great for all types of skiers from beginners to advanced, Les Arcs now linked to La Plagne, the new Paradiski area, offers 240 miles of pistes, including the Aiguille Rouge glacier above Arc 2000 (15 yards from the ilfts taking you there) and the Bellecote glacier in La Plagne, guaranteeing snow. Les Arc is a skier and snowboarder's heaven.

For beginners, Les Arcs is well-equipped with gentle beginner's slopes - a boon for the inexperienced.

For intermediates, Les Arcs offers fantastic tree-lined descents into Peisey Nancroix and Vallandry and a multitude of interlinked blue and red runs. We recommend you try some high altitude skiing on the Aiguille Rouge and Bellecote glaciers.

For the advanced, ski the breathtaking 4 mile black run Aiguille Rouge right the way down into Villaroger (Europe's biggest vertical drop of 2000m), pound the moguls of Dou de l'Homme or take the new 200 seater lift over to La Plagne and return off-piste through the imposing Nancroix forest.

For boarders, it has become the home of a number of snowboard pros due to superb board park and half-pipe. There are so many natural hits to play on in the Clocheret area that there is no danger of running out of things to do. There is also abundant terrain for beginners to progress on all week.

In summary in Les Arcs, there are 200km of pistes, 20 hectares of snow making, the longest run Aiguille Rouge piste is 7km is length and 2100m in vertical descent, there is 30km of cross-country skiing, 16 mountain restaurants and 60 lifts (1 cablecar, 30 chairlifts (6 high speed), 24 draglifts, 1 funicular and, 4 gondolas). There is also guaranteed snow (artificial snow) back to the resort all season long.

Access
Located in the heart of the Savoie part of France, Arc 2000  is close to the airports of Geneva, Lyon, Grenoble, Chambéry, and Annecy. You can take the train as far as Bourg St Maurice, from where you can take the funicular railway to Arc 2000 (30 minutes)

In the press:

Buying a home overseas through leaseback can make it easy to find a dream home that's tax efficient and generates guaranteed rental income, says Savills' Susan Wright.

Life doesn't get much better than walking up to a vista of snow-covered Alps, stepping out of the door, strapping on your skies and taking off for a day on the slopes. It's why thousands of people return to the Alps every year and why they consider buying a property to rent out and use themselves. But if the thought of managing a rental property (with bookings, voids, cancellations and domestic services to deal with) puts you off then perhaps you should consider leaseback.

Through leaseback the buyer owns the freehold but leases the property back to the developer in return for a guaranteed yearly rental income. Financial analyst Michael Halliday opted for leaseback when he bought a ski in/ski out apartment in Les Arcs in the French Alps four years ago. He and his wife spend one or two weeks there each year, while lucky friends and family make the most of it during a further weeks. "We've been absolutely thrilled with it," says Halliday. "It's gone up in value hugely but the most important thing is it’s beautifully looked after and totally hassle-free."

It costs Michael nothing to furnish or keep his apartment because the leaseback company meets those costs and the rental income he receives covers most of the mortgage. "The term leaseback many be misleading or off-putting for some, but it's really just a fixed rental system," he says. "You could do just as well financially renting a property out yourself but it would be a lot more hassle."

 Les Deux Alpes ski domain  Click for map

Since 1946 and the first ski lift, Les 2 Alpes has always been innovating and developing its slopes, guided by the evolution of skiing.

 An ever-wider range of pistes has become a playground for young and old. In addition to traditional maintenance and improvement work on the slopes, replacement of lifts, and the development of artificial snow production, the resort has made room to the new wave of snow sports with the creation of the SLIDE zone. This innovative concept allows each and everyone to safely discover all of today’s new skiing activities. Ledges, waterfalls, canyons, gullies, etc., including a 900 m-long boardercross and new facilities for kids.

Marked pistes = 500 ha
Off-piste = 1400 ha
Artificial snow = 47 ha with 191 snow guns
Cross-country skiing = 25 km (Molière des Peyrons trail and Venosc)

102 pistes (13 black, 17 red, 45 blue, 27green)

51 ski lifts including 1 elevator, 1 funicular, 3 cabin lifts, 3 gondola lifts, 23 chair lifts, 19 ski tows, and 1 beginner’s tow.

The snowpark covers 20 ha dedicated to freestyle with unique and exclusive ramps (halfpipe, gaps, hips, handrails, big air, and learning ramps).
The boardercross run includes whoops, banked curves, and jumps, with a difference in altitude of 185 m and over 1,000 m of action
The Gully: 150 m long, 80% gradient
The Canyons: 2,500 m long
The Waterfalls: 550 m long with 10 waterfalls
The Ledge: 16 m longAccess

Artificial snow

Every year the resort of 2 Alpes continues to improve its artificial snow coverage. This year the emphasis has been placed on the Vallée Blanche/Pied Moutet sector where all of the pistes served by the Super Venosc, Pied Moutet, Vallée Blanche and the new Cote chair-lifts will benefit from artificial snow.

This will therefore ensure decent skiing on the entire western sector of the ski area and a permanent east/west link throughout the winter.
Artificial snow coverage has also been improved on all of the lower slopes including the beginner pistes, kindergarten, free lifts and the Côte Brune slalom run.

Just 200m from our accommodation is the ski school meeting point and access to the Crête Côte 1800 ski lift. From the top of this lift, skiers can ascend further to Aime la Plagne at 2100m or enjoy the wonderful runs down through the woods to the village of Plagne Montalbert.

Freestylers love La Plagne - a permanent half-pipe, a selection of boarder parks and designated areas with bumps and jumps - a real boarder's paradise!

Wherever you are in La Plagne, the villages are 'ski-in' and 'ski-out' - the interlinked lift system is unrivalled and even at night lifts are operated to transport you to your evening entertainment.
