 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am planning to go to Les Arc on 21st Feb with OH.
I have some good prices for catered chalets in Arc 2000.
As I have not been there before I wanted some advice on the following: -
Is it easy to get across to Arc 1950 and 1800 for all the nice blue runs?
What it the apreski like at 2000?
What are the current conditions in Les Arcs?
Is there as much snow as there currently is in Solihull (had 2 inches of the white stuff last night)
I know there is a snowhead on here who reports regularly from Arc so some advise would be much appreciated.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Dontlikeheights, Ask Bertie about conditions, he's living the dream. To get to 1950 you do down a small run, can be a bit busy but not hard (my 6 year old can do it) and to get to 1800 is easy via one chair out of 1950 and then a nice run down. As for Apres, don't know, was there wiht 3 kids  .

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

It's easy to get from the Arc 2000 side of the ski domain across to the Arc 1800 side. You have a choice of three different routes all on easy blue pistes if you want. On piste conditions are currently very good, with a little bit of snow forecast in the next few days. But 21st of Feb is still some distance away so conditions could change for the better or worse between now and then.

There are nice blue runs at Arc 2000, and Arc 1950 is,literally, 50 metres away.
There are a few bars & restaurants around 2000, but there's more at 1950, which would be a pretty short journey in your beer taxi.

Dontlikeheights, Be warned, prices in Arc1950 will make you wallet and eyes bleed.

I have heard that about the prices.
And the way I drink, I have already asked for a loan 
Am glad that there are some easy runs.
Will be good for the OH.
Cant wait for the 21st.
Regarding the ski passes, is it correct you can just get a pass for Les Arc area and not all of the paradiski?

I guess I will have to take advantage of the wine they offer in the Catered Chalet that I am going to book.
Just out of interest, how much is the price of a pint of chilled lager in 1950?

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

More expensive if it is chilled.

Dontlikeheights, outside happy hour, we paid between €6 and €8 depending on establishment mid Jan. So, that's 30 quid a round for 4 of you...
Or more if you want to: there's one restaurant that has (on the menu - not hidden away for 'special guests') bottles of champagne at €885
So, nice for the occasional drink, but I'd stick with the Catered Chalet wine if you are after a session!
