Regular visitors to Les Arcs will notice a number of thrilling new developments this season...
At the start of the Category 1 climb to Les Arcs, there is an exciting new roundabout, complete with snowchain-assembly area. The powers that be have also decreed that the official way to the N90 is along the (newly resurfaced) minor road by the river, rather than going via Super U and the McDonald's roundabout at the entrance to Bourg. This seems a little odd, as the road is very narrow as it approaches the Isere.

One of Les Arcs' drawbacks is that the front de neige is set back from the foot of the pistes, which means there are no convenient hostelries where big groups can meet up during the day. It lacks the equivalent of a Bissac at Flaine, or indeed the cluster of restaurants at Plagne Centre.
Although not on the front de neige, the new mountain restaurant on the golf course is going to really help - and it looks like it will be ready for December:

And at the foot of the slopes, the new Aiguille Grive hotel/restaurant will (finally) be open. Les Arcs legend (and former landlord of the old restaurant on this site) Gilles ready to welcome guests.

Meanwhile, just by the Vagere lift, a sign informs us that planning permission is being sought for a new "Telecabine des Villards". To be continued...
