 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi folks
We are four 30-somethings thinking of heading to Les Arcs 1950 (self-catering) in the last week March/first week April. We arent looking for anything mad but a couple of lively bars for a bit of apres-ski and one or two others for a few after dinner pints would be nice. Anyone know what things will be like at that stage of the season and any suggestions? Ive heard George's is good fun.
And is Les Arcs 2000 (a) walkable and (b) any good for bars either?
Any other info on restaurants etc would also be welcome.
Thanks guys.

drkpower, George's Wine Bar in Arc 1950. If you come over to the Les Arcs season thread in the snow reports section, you should get a lot more info. Or take a look at my facebook group page for Les Arcs, loads of info there as well. Link below.

JezC, Sorry to hear about the injury, I really wish more people would take your stance and blacklist the resort based on one mad frenchman.... especially in February.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

To travel between 1950 & 2000 you use the "Cabriolet" bubble. Takes a couple of minutes at most. We did most of our Après/happy hour drinking in Les Belle Pintes in 1950, which was always pretty busy.

Both 1950 and 2000 are rubbish for apres, you won't enjoy it. might as well not bother going, Ill go instead if you like as I don't care about apres

drkpower,
George's works well either (a) between 5 and 7 or (b) after about 9:30 if there's a group in - it can be a bit quiet in the middle, depending on who is in resort that week. New Years Eve was stunningly good. Apparently. I didn't there until about 1. Apparently.
Serves a varitey of beers and a wide range of wines. Best value is buying your wine by the bottle rather than glass, and if you don't finish it in one sitting (sorry?), leaving it there for the next day. €14 a bot compared to €5 a glass... Importantly, serves London Pride by the bottle along with other beers. No spirits.
O'Chaud has a licence until 4am, tends to attract a slightly younger crowd. Luigi's has the TVs showing snow vids (or Sky Sport) and pool. Watch out for Hoegarten prices tho'. Belles Pintes (and Luigis ) have live musics once or twice in the week, and I think probably has best happy hour.
2000 has the bowling alley and a number of new establishments opened this year along with the new blocks - again, some are getting a good rep especially amongst the seasonaires, and open to early hours.
