Arc 1800 is the central point of the whole ski area of Les Arcs, with lifts interlinking in all directions. The village is located at the foot of the Aiguille Grive and offers excellent access to the slopes from most of its accommodation.
Les Arcs offers a huge diversity of skiing with pistes for every standard of skier or boarder. All the villages have easily accessible nursery slopes and intermediates will love the interlinked blue and red runs that range from high, wide, open space to sheltered tree runs. Experienced skiers will enjoy the variety of black runs and the guided off-piste or they may even wish to try their hand at speed skiing. Les Arcs has fantastic facilities for boarders with a snow park and 3 permanent boardercross (one in Arc 1600 and two in Arc 2000). The Rodeo Park at the top of the Col de la Chal (arrival point of the Transarc gondola lift or Arcabulle chair lift) offers 3,000 metres of pure fun and exhilaration!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING PARKING IN ARC 1800: When arriving at Arc 1800 by car you must take a ticket at the barrier which gives you four hours free parking. After this the amount is calculated by the hour, totalling approx 69€ per week. You can pay this at the barrier when you exit the resort. Should you enter a covered parking area using the same ticket the rate increases, totalling approx 86€ per week. If you do not wish to be charged by the hour but prefer a cheaper weekly indoor ticket you can pay for this via the car park offices and it is much cheaper. Some residences have their own parking facilities (free or payable), in these cases your entrance ticket must be validated by the residence reception so that you can exit the barriers on leaving the resort without paying the higher rate.
