Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Best Hot Chocolate in Les Arcs area
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I have an agreement (alright bribe) with my 11yo step daughter, that if she finishes reading her English set text before the end of half term (when we're away) I will buy her the biggest baddest hot chocolate the mountain can offer...

Any assistance gratefully received... Where will I find something worthy? We are staying in 1950 if that helps but don't mind a ski to get to the right place snowHead

IMO you need the soup bowl servings of Les Borseliers, but that is on the La Plagne side of Paradiski, on the way down to Champagny

There is a restaurant over the the la plagne side on the way down to Champagny (not Borseliers but I can't remember the name) with a big Sun terrace and a snack bar at the back. It does the most amazing hot chocolate I have ever had, with whipped cream and large funky coloured meringues on top.

This. Or Spain as I found out last week. Easier to ski to Italy from Les Arcs than it is to ski to Spain.

Cascade Sucree in Arc 1950 is good. Decent hot chocolate but the main attraction is their waffles, they're absolutely delightful.

@ScarlettInSpace, if only bribery to do school work was so easy (and cheap) in our household.

Thanks everyone Smile Italy & Spain may be pushing it on this trip Razz but maybe for future.

@hammerite this is the first year of senior school, so I can see it getting more expensive as time goes by!

Youngest is currently on a longer-term good behaviour incentive to earn a snowboard lesson...

aux enfants terribles (just down the mountain from the top of the vallandry chairlift) does huge great mugs of hot chocolate (and cheap crepes!)

You might want to ask on the main Les Arcs thread as no doubt some of the contributors to that will have opinions.

It's not that difficult to ski to Italy from Les Srcs (for the hot chocolate as much as anything else). It is very easy of you have a car (about a 30 minute drive to a chairlift which takes you to La Rosiere, which is linked with the Italian resort of La Thuile). Slightly more complicated without your own transport, but still possible. It's a fun day out.

Spain, on the other hand, is quite tricky wink

I've never found decent hot chocolate in Les Arcs, although I will occasionally make my own: the usual chocolate powder, add a little bit of real chocolate and thicken with a little cornflour. Squirty cream and marshmallows optional, but usually not.

Not for me in a proper hot chocolate, that would be a bit too much. But in a typically French thin-as-dishwater hot chocolate Baileys or anything else helps to make it drinkable. I quite like a shot of Chartreuse, which at least is a local drink even if the hot chocolate itself is an abomination against mankind.

@rob@rar, might have to try that next week with the Chartreuse, not something I'd have thought of!

@rob@rar, you need to come to Serre Chevalier for the hot chocolate at Peyra Juana and Troll restos then. No dishwater, proper Italian stuff.
