 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi everyone,
I have never really thought about using forums much untill a friend of mine recommended this site, I am travelling to Les Arcs 1950 (Le Village) in the next 24 hours and was wondering if anyone who has information or advice with regards to:
1. Snowboard Hire,
2. Ski Pass,
3. Good Restaurants
4. Good Advice
as I normally only travel to Sierra Nevada Spain for snowboarding.
Any information about this would be very helpful.
Cheers again everyone,
Ryan

Hi Ryan, welcome to SnowHeads!
Can't help you myself, never been to Les Arcs, but there are plenty of people here who have - have a look in the Resort Reviews and Trip Reports section of the forum, you may find some useful info there.
- you may want to post the question in the Piste section too seeing time is a factor - it gets more traffic than the snowboarders forum, it's the skiers see, they're funny like that 
Either way, sure you'll enjoy your trip.

ryanh1982, welcome to the crew!
Also can't offer any Les Arcs advice, though I hear L'Aguille Rouge is a must-do. Happy Sliding and tell us all about it when you get back

Les Arcs is miles better than La Plagne. Theres plenty of piste and off piste action in Les Arcs. If you want cheap, stay at 1600, super luxury 1950, party time 1800. Access is pretty good throughout the area. If you get the full pass you can get out to La Plagne if you must. The best restuarant for me was at 2000 and called Chez Eux, though I didn't try them all out! When you know where you're staying then someone may recommend hire. I have my own gear so cant help there. Good luck and enjoy. Oh and theres a natural halfpipe somewhere. Cant remember where though.

ryanh1982, welcome to snowHeads.
I've changed your title to attract those with knowledge on Les Arcs that might not otherwise look.

Hi, we spent 8 days in Arcs 2000 last jan, didn't go over to La Plagne and i don't feel i missed out - there's plenty of miles/terrain to cover on the Arcs area pass. I preferred the 1800 side of the area especially in the afternoon sun, also teh black down from les deux tetes to the valley below 1950 was great with good snow, very quiet.
L'aguille rouge was a bit of a chore tbh but we did it late in the day when a lot of snow had been scrubbed off it. Arriving in villaroger was hilarious though, like going back in time - 4 elderly french gents in ancient jackets, jeans, rear-entry boots puffing on gitanes and eyeing us suspiciously!! However coming back up on the chair i saw some epic tree-fun to be had to the sides.
Oops, just noticed you're already there! hope you're having a great time.

ryanh1982, there is a whole thread for Les Arcs in the snow reports section where many of us post. Take a look there and ask questions. You can also visit my facebook group page 'Les Arcs ski and snowboard info group'. Link below. Come to George's Wine Bar in Arc 1950 any day from about 5pm and there are normally some of us around to chat with. Hope that all helps.
