Arc 1950 Ski Passes
As a stylish, purpose-built village offering ski-in, ski-out access with direct links to the rest of Les Arcs (and the Paradiski), Arc 1950 is the ideal snow holiday destination for skiers looking for seamless connections to a world-class ski area.
Whatever plans you have for exploring the mountain, your ski pass is your passport to expansive, varied terrain that ranks among France’s most popular ski areas. Arc 1950 suits a broad mix of abilities, from confident beginners looking for cruisy pistes to experienced skiers keen to access higher-altitude terrain and longer descents. Your lift pass provides unlimited lift access for the duration you choose, making it easy to follow the best snow conditions, explore different areas and sectors in and around Les Arc at your own pace. A ski pass here - at the very least - allows direct access to all Les Arcs villages and their varied slopes, so you can venture across the valley unrestricted.
Getting your Arc 1950 ski pass with Erna Low is a breeze. Simply include it as part of your ski holiday booking, along with any other extras you need, such as airport transfers, ski hire, lessons, and accommodation. We’ll also strongly recommend that you purchase your pass online with us, as it helps secure your pass in advance and guarantees availability, especially during peak periods such as Christmas or half-term when resorts are busier. Plus, you save yourself the time and hassle when it's booked in advance, and you may even benefit from online discounts and rolling offers.

Types of ski passes in Arc 1950
In Arc 1950, you’ll typically choose between two lift pass options, based on how widely you want to ski during your holiday. The Les Arcs “Classic” Pass is the leading choice for staying within the immediate ski domain, offering access to the slopes across the Les Arcs villages (including Arc 1950), as well as the wider valley sectors such as Peisey-Vallandry and Villaroger. This option is ideal if you’re planning a more relaxed week close to the resort, or travelling as a family or mixed-ability group. You’ll still have plenty of variety under this pass, with everything from confidence-building blues and cruisy reds to more demanding pitches for stronger skiers.
If you’re keen to go further and keep each ski day feeling different, the Paradiski pass is the broader upgrade. This pass opens up a much larger linked area by connecting Les Arcs and La Plagne, with access between the two via the Vanoise Express cable car. It’s an excellent option for confident skiers who enjoy covering distance and exploring new sectors, as it combines contrasting terrain and landscapes across multiple resort villages. For week-long stays, or anyone who wants maximum freedom on the mountain, the Paradiski pass is usually the best-value choice for a bigger, more varied ski experience.
