Electric scooters and electric mountain bikes are the new must-try activities in the Village.
The resort of Arc 1950 le Village is situated right in the heart of Paradiski, one of the world’s largest and most beautiful ski areas. The area was created by linking Les Arcs, Peisey-Vallandry and La Plagne, Paradiski combines quantity and quality.
It can now claim to be the second largest ski area on the planet with breath-taking panoramas and 425km of slopes. Ski and snowboard right back in to the village and to the doorstep of your chosen residence – or even to the doorways of most of the boutiques and cafes.

When you ski through the Village, your gaze is drawn towards the views of Mont Blanc, the Aiguille Rouge and the mountains of the Tarentaise valley. The slopes are wonderfully groomed and you can enjoy skiing from the top of the Aiguille Rouge at 3226m to Villaroger at 1200m.
A thrilling new zipline from the top of Varet gondola takes you over the ‘flying kilometre’ slope, created for the 1992 Albertville Olympics.
