 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am heading to Vallandry (part of Les Arcs ski area) for the third time on Friday. The previous times I've been the Vanoise Express has not been working/was not built!
I'm off for 10 days and have booked a 7 day Tribu Pack with 3 mates that gives heavily discounted lift pass for the Les Arcs area for 18-28 year olds.
This pass does not however cover the whole Paradiski area - it excludes La Plagne.
I'd like to know if it is worth skiing La Plagne on the other days or will there be enough to occupy us in Les Arcs and Peisey-Vallandry?
How does the Piste and more specifically the off piste at La Plagne compare to the Les Arcs area?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Simon

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

There's plenty of skiing in Les Arcs to keep you happy for a long time, unless you prefer to never ski the same piste twice in which case an extension to ski La Plagne would add to the mileage you have available.

Agree with rob@rar, who should know. I think you can get a one day extension to La Plagne if you don't want to pay for the whole week.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I agree with rob@rar, as well, plenty enough in Les Arcs.

In three weeks this year so far I've been over once, and unless something special crops up, probably won't again.
Regret having to buy a paradiski season pass, Les Arcs would have been fine.

allanm, Sorry to disagree, but for me, being here for the season means I would always get the paradiski pass. |
With regard to the OP, we're not talking about you or me though.

Enthusiasm level is 10 and ability level is probably an 8 or 9, Will be intending to pursue some of the more 'challenging' off piste on offer. 
Perfectly happy skiing the same runs as invariably there is plenty of fun to be had off the side and through the trees!
Another question I have is in relation to the water splash at Les Arcs - please tell me it's still there as I am fully intending to mankini it towards the latter stages of one of the days!!
Snowcrazy and allanm - thankyou for your many insightful Les Arcs posts and snowcrazy for your daily updates on the facebook page - compulsive viewing.
Cannot believe that I havent stumbled across this forum earlier!!

It is still there, but won't be open at this time of year. It's a late season thing.

been there twice and always from La Plagne, it was a bit of a slepp getting back from arc to plagen, as we were all the way over in the plagne 1850 area so lots of lifts. off piste was better in plagne, but then not exploring as much in arc would mean i have that opinion. but 1 day is always fun over the other side
