Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We've never found it too much of a hardship to drive up to Val Claret to unload our stuff; park the car; and - depending on the time of day - either bus back or ski back to Val Claret.
Ditto at the end of the hol - either bus or ski back to 1800/Les Boisses or Les Brevieres.
The odd time (eg arriving at midnight) we've paid for overnight parking and then moved the car to a free parking spot the next day.

I should add that there is very little free parking in Les Arcs also.

Free parking in Tignes then? Not something to be sniffed at, especially given current fuel prices. When I was looking at paid car parks it was about 80€ for the week. That's a decent chunk of fuel.

They are out door, so you would need a good shovel & good to -20c antifreeze in all your fluids, just in case.

We’ve been to Tignes and 3 Valleys a few times so considering Les arcs for a change. Thinking of a couple of weeks early season to get some skiing fitness/mojo back after a couple of lean years due to Covid and poor conditions, to be followed later in the season by a more off piste orientated trip. How good / reliable is Les Arcs for reds and blacks and off piste?

So we’re now splitting our 3 week trip to the Tarantaise in January to include some time at Tignes as well as Les Arcs. A change of scenery for the teens might be good I think.

Sounds sensible to me.....and you can then tell us what you think.

Les Arcs has all the off-piste you could want, plus some great fast reds and fast and or technical blacks. I can't comment on snow reliability though beyond saying that I've always been in January and it's always been fine.

I generally go to Paradiski Christmas week. It's as good as anywhere early season. We've had some good dumps.
