The telecabine replaces the crusty old Villards chairlift. It comprises 8-seater cabins which you can sit down in. Journey time is only a couple of minutes. Very nice it is too:

At the summit is a dedicated beginners' zone, well away from the pistes, with a covered lift. Coupled with the new blue run, Arc 1800 has now moved overnight from being quite a poor place for beginners to a being a very good prospect indeed.
There is also a new run which goes directly under the Vagere lift. It is called Les Bosses, so one imagines it may become a mogul field once there is enough slow. Part of the descent includes a "video zone" - it looks like you can pause and watch your skiing on a big screen.
Next year there will be a restaurant on the site, which will make it a real focal point. With the addition in 2015/16 of a pedestrian lift to Edenarc & Chantel, and the new chair giving direct access to Arc 2000, it's fair to say that Arc 1800 is going through something of a transformation.

The local council has provided the money for the new indoor swimming pool on site. Arc 1800's redundant ice rink has been replaced with new pools which are open summer and winter. The entrance is next to the Vagere, with a lift to take you up to the site.
