Les Arcs
Why it might suit you:
- Huge ski domain (Paradiski): Linked with La Plagne, Les Arcs grants access to roughly 425 km of pistes, an excellent playground for intermediates.
- Snow reliability: Slopes extend up to 3,226m (Aiguille Rouge), generally ensuring good coverage in February.
- Multiple village options: Arc 1600, 1800, 1950, 2000 each offer distinct atmospheres, from lively après-ski to quieter family-friendly vibes.
Potential drawbacks:
- Mostly purpose-built: Some areas (especially Arc 1800, 2000) lack the traditional Alpine charm of older villages.
- Crowded in peak weeks: Its popularity means busier lifts and pistes during school holidays.
- Mid-to-higher price range: Not as expensive as elite resorts (e.g., Val d’Isère) but pricier than smaller, lesser-known ski areas.
