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 :-)

Les Arcs
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Hi

I am off to Les Arcs 1950 for a fortnight in March. I would really appreciate someone in the know giving me some info about a great route from Les Arcs 1950 that takes in the best slopes so that I can get a good feel for the place.

I stayed in 1600 a couple of years ago but I would like a route that gets alot of sun etc is a good blast minimises time on lifts etc.

Any takers?

cheers

Blindside, Theres an appealing route that goes from Villaroger, just over the hill from you (morning sun) to Montalbert. You get some speedy skiing through Peisey trees, and some of the nicer slopes on the La Plagne side wink
I'm sure there will be other s along to give some more advice though...

Blindside, There are 465kms of slopes. Where to start Madeye-Smiley . Make sure to get the Paradski pass so you can go across to La Plagne and just go for it. So many great runs you won't be disappointed and 1950 is a great loaction.

Hi Both

Thanks so far.

I've stayed and skied in both La Plagne and Les Arcs previously. I would really appreciate some pointers on a good route to take starting from 1950 to stay in the sun Smile and that will give me a great re-introduction to the area.

cheers

Blindside, Depends if the sun is shining Toofy Grin . Morning time the runs over towards Pesiey on Les Arcs side catch the sun or down les Sources from Roche Del Mio in La Plagne.

What types of runs you looking for, black, red, blue, uphill? Laughing

Blindside, What's a 'best run'? I quite like steep and lumpy red runs and utterly detest blue/green tracks...so you're question is a bit hard to answer really! And thefatcontroller, is right. Having been to Les Arcs a few times, I cannot remember coming back like a panda!

Blindside, OK there are very few runs like the red Malgovert anywhere else in the Alps. Then go warp 10 down the Mont Blanc blue, back up to do Rouelles bumps, over Arpette and down Bois de L'Ours for lunch at 1950, then up the Aiguille, down to Villaroger. If there's anything left in your legs back up to the Aiguille and down the Genepi, the Lanches and the Dou de l'Homme. You should sleep well...

I definitely want to work on my bumps technique this winter. So bumps interspersed with blasting about is the thing Smile

Blindside, If you want bumps, head to the glacier in La Plagne and do the 2 blacks up to the side of the glacier, bellecote and Le Rochu. In particular Le Rochu, the moguls just go on and on and on.......... Skullie

Boredsurfing, I was very close to crying 1/2 way down the first section of Rochu. Little did I realise there was a second section on Rochu. Then I was crying Skullie Skullie

Blindside, Another 2 mogul fields to practice on La Plagne side are Les Coqs and Morbleau above Aime La Plagne to the right. Skullie . Took schussinboots from here down Morbleau as her second ever black run in April this year. We had done it the day before in nice fluffy powdery moguls. We took her down the next day after a very heavy freeze Skullie Skullie . In fairness she got down but was in great need of a fag and genepe at the bottom. Laughing Laughing
