Slope offering, variety of runs at the ski resort Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry (Paradiski)
Les Arcs offers suitable options for every skill level and preference. Beginners and leisure skiers prefer the wide forest runs on the northwest slope towards the lower-lying villages or the high alpine slopes along the Arcabulle chairlift. The best carving runs can be found below the Le Derby chairlift. Around the Aiguille Rouge, advanced skiers will find their challenge on steep and partly ungroomed mogul slopes.

Interconnection information
Since 2003, Les Arcs has also been connected to its neighbor La Plagne, forming the Paradiski area with 425 km of slopes.
Worth knowing
- Artificial snow-making
- Valley run available
Except for the small town of Bourg-Saint-Maurice at the foot of the ski area, all locations in Les Arcs can be reached via either blue or red valley runs. Additionally, the mogul run Rouelles leads to Arc 1600, while residents of Plan Peisey will find the final challenge of the day on the black run Ecureuils.

Longest run
- Aiguille Rouge · Length 7 km · Elevation difference 2026 m
From the summit of the Aiguille Rouge at 3,226 meters, you can take the piste of the same name all the way down to the valley in Villaroger. In the upper section, the piste is narrow and quite steep, but your efforts are rewarded with a magnificent view. In the lower section, the run becomes wider and flatter, leading through a long stretch of forest to the small village of Villaroger at 1,200 meters altitude.
Most difficult run
- Lanches, Crêtes, Dou de l'Homme · Length 2 km · Elevation difference 550 m
The three black runs below the Varet gondola are for absolute experts. All three are steep, ungroomed, and extremely bumpy; Lanches is also a bit less frequented and often still has a soft layer of snow. The terrain is clearly visible from the gondola, so everyone can carefully consider whether to tackle the slope or rather choose the red alternative.
Slope tip
- Belette
The red run Belette below the Le Derby ski lift is an absolute dream for carving. Especially in the morning, freshly groomed and bathed in sunlight, the wide slope invites you to make wide turns and reach high speeds. - Bois de l'Ours
Below the Bois de l'Ours chairlift (which translates to "Bear Forest"), there is a black run of the same name. The ungroomed piste is especially recommended when there is fresh snow and good weather. However, if conditions are perfect, you should get there early, as the slope gets tracked out quickly in the afternoon. - Plan Bois
The blue slope Plan Bois is the connecting run for all slopes between Arc 1800 and Plan Peisey. From here, even beginners can easily and without pushing reach all the parallel blue and red slopes leading to the villages – a perfectly developed area for practicing and enjoying.
