At Arc 1800, get ready for big queues at the Vagere or Transarc. Things may be better next year if the new chair to Arc 2000 comes on stream (more here). But for now, it's worth planning your day and exploring areas away from the mainstream.
Here is a guide from a few years ago on some of the less visited itineraries. To this I would now add skiing anywhere above Arc 1600 - with the new Mont Blanc lift now running alongside Cachette, queues are now rare.
Take the Malgovert run from the Comborciere all the way down to Les Granges and you have 1100m of descent. Alternatively, from Clocheret, descent via Gollet and the never-used Violettes piste, again to the mid-station of the funicular, and you have a similarly long run.
The start of Malgovert this Christmas. This wild, away-from-it-all, red piste is now open |
The good news is that all the runs are currently open, and there is enough snow to build this:
