Dreaming of an alpine winter wonderland? Powdery pistes and plenty of après-ski entertainment? A place the whole family will enjoy? Here’s your answer. Located in Savoie near the Vanoise National Park, with a view of the Mont Blanc massif, Arc 1950 Le Village is the most recent of the Haute-Tarentaise resorts – a jewel set in the heart of the mountains.
Every season, the Village enchants its French and international visitors with its 5* ski-in-ski-out residences, high-end services, car-free streets, pretty shops and varied restaurants and exceptional entertainment programme. Here you’ll find a true art de vivre of winter sports.
In the Village, nothing is more than a few steps from your residence, on foot or on skis. Lovely boutiques, unforgettable activities, and elegant eateries are there to meet everyone’s needs, from the simplest to the most extravagant.
In each of the residences, there are swimming pools, jacuzzis and fitness rooms where you can relax after skiing.

The Village offers a wide range of activities for visitors, with a different theme every week. Many of them are free, and there’s even spectacular fireworks. From meeting reindeer during Christmas week to the big air free-ride event, there is something for everyone. Electric scooters and electric mountain bikes are the new must-try activities in the Village.
The resort of Arc 1950 le Village is situated right in the heart of Paradiski, one of the world’s largest and most beautiful ski areas. Combining Les Arcs, Peisey-Vallandry and La Plagne, this massive winter playground offers breath-taking panoramas and 425km of slopes. Ski right back in to the village with snow covered streets to the doorstep of each residence and even to the doorways of most of the boutiques: ski and shop! When you ski through the Village, your gaze is captured by the views of Mont Blanc, the Aiguille Rouge and the mountains of the Tarentaise valley. The slopes are wonderfully groomed and you can enjoy skiing at every altitude, from the top of the Aiguille Rouge at 3226m to Villaroger at 1200m.
Did we mention the thrilling new zipline? From the top of Varet gondola, Les Arcs’ new zipline highlights an emblematic place in the history of Les Arcs. Indeed, the zipline flies over the “flying kilometer” slope that was created for the 1992 Albertville Olympics. The descent at 130 km/hr is bound to test your limits!
Set just above Bourg St Maurice, the Arc 1950 is accessible by train to Bourg and the connecting funicular, with fabulous panoramic windows which arrives into 1600 and a shuttle bus to take guests around to the village. Visitors driving to Arc 1950 will park in the huge underground car park – complete with electric charging stations – the village of Arc 1950 is completely car free; or fly in to one of the four closest airports – Lyon, Chambery, Grenoble or Lyon.
