 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just been supping a nice glass of Mulled Wine and was wandering if Les Arcs is "festive". For example, I really want to try Eggnogg and would be great to try this on the slopes. I have never been to resort that offers this sort of thing, especially on the slopes (usually a beer and a Mars Bar)
Im staying at 1950, so hoping that will add to the "winter wonderland", but does Les Arcs have quaint stuff hapeninng? If so, what sort of stuff do they offer that is different froim the smaller/les formed resorts (bulgaria etc)
thanks. (sorry for all the " "'s)

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Assuming you mean alcoholic eggnogg 'on the slopes' then please, please don't do it!!
The Les Arcs Piste Patrol will have you in the cells quicker than you can say 'who's nicked my gloves'.

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

not too bothered about the drunkiness of things, But just hoping LA has things the quiter resorts Ive been to dont offer. Ive heard 1950 sometime put on fireworks at night etc etc. Eggnogg at night is fine. I never drink ski.

Jon Ford, There is an events calendar available at reception each week, but as a minimum for outdoor stuff you'll have toasted marshmallows at the fire-pit ( sat eve 5pm), a torchlit descent that you can participate in (Fri eve iirc) , and a family ski race ( Friday afternoon).
There's usually at least one other evening's entertainment outdoors, it just depends "what's on" for your week.
Fireworks used to be every week, but the expense was such that we've cut back to Christmas, New Year's Eve, Russian New Year, and possibly Paddy's weekend. Not times when you are around I don't think from previous posts.

The Ice Cream Treat is laying on a bit thick - all the places on the slopes serve booze and vin chaud/genepi is almost forced down your throat. I've never seen anyone nicked for boozing yet. That said, skiing pissed is for mugs. If you want 'quaint' try Chalet de l'arc above 1950 or Belliou la Fumee at Pre St Esprit
