Across the valley, La Rosiere is getting ready for this year's big opening: the unveiling of the new extension to its ski area.
The runs on the French side just above the resort are already great fun, with brilliant views towards Tignes and down to Bourg Saint Maurice. But it's not that big an area. This is all about to change, with a €15m investment going into giving the resort 5 new red pistes, plus another off-piste zone. The top of the skiing rises to 2,800m and - usually for La Rosiere - some of it faces north.
To get to La Rosiere from Les Arcs, drive to the Les Ecudets lift just above Seez, rather than wear yourself out driving all the way. And you get a super long run home through the trees as a bonus. There's also a bus which picks up from the funicular at Bourg - ask in the Arc 1800 tourist office for a leaflet.
How exciting for La Rosiere - much needed from my one week there else you had to do the button tow of death across the tops to get any variety! Although the Italian coffee, pizza and prices was (almost) worth it.
