Les Arcs?

Off to Les Arcs for a few weeks soon, staying at Arcs 2000. Anyone know of any where good to eat and drink in the area? Or is it better going down to the lower villages? First time i've skied in France, hope it's as good as Austria!!!! :roll:

Hi

the only place I ate at 2000 was at 'Chez Eux' cafe by the Lanchettes chairlift. Great chips & Beer, reasonable price. Arc 1950 has more choice for bars and restaurants, 'Les Belles Pintes' is quite lively. If you can get to 1800, you should go to Benji's - very friendly, not rowdy, fantastic steaks.

Hi,

For a quick slope side snack and a pit stop there is a great little food hut at the side of the near the bottom of the Arcabulle chair lift on the blue back down into 2000 ,for more traditional savoyarde quisine there is the les Chalets de L'arc located on the Piste des Marmottes just above 2000 also which serves great food.

Another couple of good places to take a well earned lunch are Le Chalet du Solliet and bar restaurant La Ferme which are on the Villaroger/Le Pre side of the ski area, reached via 2000,from either the Lanchettes chair from just in front of the Arc 2000 apartments (this takes you up to the easier part of the Aiguille Rouge) or from the very top of the Aiguille Rouge where you have a 7 km run down into Le Pre...if you are a competent intermediate skier and have good conditions and weather etc the run from the very top should be ok, if the weather is bad or icy the top is best left if you are of a timid nature (safety first and all).

If you would like some info PM me your full postal details etc and i will chuck a piste map and resort info booklet in the post to you.

All the best

:DHi,


The conditions in Les Arcs are excellent at the minute and will be all season i would imagine, I've just had a text from a chap who came back from my apartment today and he says it was snowing heavily in Bourg-St-Maurice today s he left ......so lots of new snow to top up an already great snow base.



Enjoy yourself in Les Arcs and have a safe trip :D :thumbup:

We've always found the pizza restaurant at far end of 1950 pretty good.
However, as is often the case, these places/leases change hands or owners and can vary from season to season.
1950 is walking distance from 2000.

Thanks for the info, it sounds great out there. Can't wait to get there, couple of weeks yet.

Jon? Thats a very kind offer with the piste map, may take you up on that. cheers bud. Will :thumbup:
