Les Arcs has been nominated in the Chillfactore awards in the "Best Resort for Beginners" category.
Not a bad place to be, although I fear Les Arcs may be something of an outsider when pitted against these rivals. There is little in the way of resort-level nursery slopes. For example, the excellent area for beginners above Peisey-Vallandry involves a lift up and down. Meanwhile the home runs to Arc 1800, 1600 and Plan Peisey are all not without their difficulties for first time skiers. For me, Alpe d'Huez clearly has the edge, with its mega area of green-piste-gradients just above the resort.
Les Arcs is however an excellent proposition for 2nd and 3rd week skiers - easy blue runs take you from top to bottom of the Grizzly (Peisey-Vallandry), Vagere (Arc 1800) and Arcabulle (Arc 2000) lifts. And of course we have the new beginners' zone coming soon as part of the remodelling of the Chantel - more here.
