WHAT'S NEW IN LES ARCS
Wednesday 13 April 2022
END OF SEASON UPDATE
After an up-and-down season both Covid and weather-wise, April sees fantastic conditions, with the resort staying open until 30th April.
NEW additions and developments since pre-pandemic days include:
1. A handy restaurant at the foot of the Derby lift - ideal for groups of skiers to meet up at specific times
2. The Blanche Muree has new owners - and a newly-extended terrace
3. The new LES ARCS sign overlooking the Tarentaise from the Carrelly lift
4. The picnic area at the top of the Comborciere, which is a triumph
5. The Malgovert piste has rightly been promoted from red to black

NEW SKI SEASON: The Latest
This week sees the provisional go-ahead for ski resorts to start their lifts from 7 January, although everything is dependent on the latest coronavirus assessments.
The best site for news about the resort is the R'Les Arcs Facebook Page.
In the meantime, the Les Arcs Film Festival is going ahead online this year. Details are here and the programme includes a new film, "Slalom" which includes many scenes shot in Les Arcs. You can watch the trailer here.
In "normal times" of course the lifts would be running by now, alongside the Film Festival venues. Best wishes to all the resort workers and businesses who are having to adapt to the current circumstances.
