johnboy, I'm sure you'll enjoy a nice meal there. It will make up for the rubbish skiing.

Looks good. Looks like there will be a week of very cold weather when it finally stops snowing, keeping everything in good condition for Christmas

Likewise, the thought process went: who wants to go to the Village Opening, with all those rubbish conditions eh?
We're out on 12th Jan (and again at Easter) so won't overlap you, but hopefully we'll get some decent snow before then 
Damn but it looks good.
Agree with much of what has been said re slopeside eateries being crowded if you don't time it right. The Hotel Vanoise is always another good stopping point for "no crowdedness", and has a nice sun terrace. Of course it is quite close to the Squirrel, so its often a tough choice...

Hi all, fist leap into this forum, just wondering how accessible Les arcs 1950 is at the moment by car. First time to les arcs leaving from the UK on Sunday. pictures look awesome

You know it makes sense.

nisaacs, welcome to snowHeads. The road clearance around the resort is very good, so I'd say that unless you are arriving in a blizzard it should be OK. Access to Arc 1950 is very straightforward - simply drive in to the underground garage direct from the main road (which will be cleared by snowploughs). Very occasionally the road up to Arc 1950 and 2000 is closed, but those are exceptional events. Regardless of the weather you should always carry snowchains, not least because the local police will send cars without chains back down the hill if conditions are very bad.

Wow the pictures look fantastic - thanks to those who've put them on!
Agree about finding a Les Arcs restaurant - Does anyone know which ones take bookings and which dont?
Trouble with booking though is you have to be so organised and decide in advance where you are going!

jayne durham, the only one I've booked is Chalet de l'Arc. I think the restaurant part of L'Arpette also take bookings, as does the Alpade du Chantel restaurant at my place. I'm sure that others do as well.

nisaacs, you've got perfect timing for your trip. The snow will be in excellent condition, the resort quiet so no queues anywhere, but that nice warm glow of the first week of the season

sami, Yes, you can buy chains in BSM. Most garages and supermarkets in the region will sell them, and usually much cheaper than they are in the UK. But be warned, if your car has unusual size tyres you might not get the right size chains, especially as you are there at a busy time and the stocks might be quite low.

No idea. Last time I spoke to him (end of last season) he didn't have any news.

Bungle & gwaelog, these images are getting the happy juices flowing. We are coming out to Bourg on the 4th of Jan for 12 weeks. After last year, we were worried about the snow!! Cross fingers that these conditions continue. More pics please!!
