Day trip on a rather busy weekday in mid february (carnival holidays). Here a detailed review: -Arrival: I parked at the funicular in Bourg St. Maurice around 8:30am. To my surprise the car park was almost empty and only cost around 3€ a day. Very easy to reach, no long winding difficult road up the mountain. I bought a day ski pass for Les Arcs, which was just 63€ (initially wanted to explore whole Paradiski but since it was so busy I decided against). Skì area: The ski area is gigantic (even without counting the La Plagne connection). With the funicular you first arrive at Mt. Blanc chairlift, which has great runs to warm up. Towards Arpette it began to become more crowded. The area around Arc2000, Varet and Arcabulle were the busiest: the ski rund (especially the easy ones) were packed and the lift lines were long. Varet (25min) and Aiguille Rouge (45min) had the longest lines. The fact that they even had extra queues for skischools and "fast pass" remids me of waiting for a roller coaster. The trip to Aiguille Rouge is worth it: you have a fantastic view and a super long descend, with lots of variety, down to Villaroger. The villaroger area is much calmer. The droset black run is a good challenge (as well as the black runs starting from Varet). The grand col runs are a bit more hidden and fun but still highly frequented. The runs around Arcabulle are very wide and you have lots of space. Totally recommend to have a drink at the igloo bar near arcabulle. There is also a long sledding run that seems fun. The west side ski runs (Vallandry, Arc1800) were not as crowded. The ski runs at Vallandry are nice, You have many fun forest runs. The red combe is fun and more quiet. At Arc1800 you have wide long forest runs with beginner areas and terrain parks. I also liked that there are easy runs connecting every area, so you easy returned to the funicular. Ski lifts: Loved that the area is so easy to reach by funicular. I liked that they had a more modern bubble chairlifts like in Tignes. Some lifts like Varet, Aiguille Rouge or Pre Saint Esprit couldnt handle the masses of people. Verdict: ++ huge ski area ++ easy to reach + variety of runs, lots of easy but also challenging runs + long Aigulle Rouge run + good ski pass price + lots of other activities (zipline, sledding, paragliding) -- crowded runs, lines at the lifts, long traffic jams to get to Bourg St. Maurice on weekends (dont visit during french, british, dutch holidays)

We went a week in a cottage near Les Arcs. Good hiking and mountain biking trails all around the mountain.

Love its incredible view of the Alps. The resort provides a great variety of slopes and restaurants in general are good (though usually overpriced). Can’t give it five stars because of its ridiculous shuttle between villages. If you missed your last lift back to the side of your village, expect to spend 2 or more hours waiting for/standing in a crowded shuttle bus. Not a good skiing experience at all.

Huge area to ski in, high altitude loads of snow even in april, very child friendly, super selection of restaurants stunning scenery. Been twice and will go again, my favourite place to ski!

Really love this place it's big. Good for beginners and experienced and kids. You can easily stay in Bourg Saint Maurice and go up by the funiculair. Go to restaurant la ferm in villaroger when skiing. Get a plate du Jour at the sunny terrasse. Best restaurant when skiing. Will definitely be back.

We've been a few times, in both winter and summer, and explored all the local towns. 1950 is our favourite place of Les Arcs. Great for skiing and walking. Lots if activities for kids, too.

Typically French ski area, but undeniably one of the best hi-altitude resorts in the world. The ski lift system is supported by the French government and is designed and planned amazing well with awesome uphill capacity meaning you hardly ever have to queue for a lift even when the resort is busy. Some of the Arcs are what I would call French brutalistic alpine architecture, they are purpose built going back to the 1970s/80s. Arc 1950 is like a Disney version of an alpine village but cute none the less. The French are generally good humoured and great fun to be around, food is of course excellent at every price point, but don't expect this to be cheap 2000m up a mountain. All in all definitely worth a visit.

Stupendous views and great runs -a red and a black. Black particularly good. Great snow quality but the red can get busy just at the top. Picnic tables, viewing platforms, interesting information boards about the National Park, its plants and animals. Two Yuge cameras (link your lift pass to the Yuge app and on scanning the pass you can have your photo taken, which then can be seen and shared from the app). Our firm favourite in Les Arcs and highly recommended.

Amazing place. On a good day you will have a 360 degrees view of the Alps till your eyes can see. The red slope going down from the top has one or two steep parts but nothing that a half-decent red slope skier cannot handle. Just don't look over the edges on the sides if you are quite scared of heigths.

Just magical. This view you can only find in few places in the world!

Take a cable car ride up to the top to experience the most beautiful view.

Very high up, impressively high and an amazing engineering accomplishment. Visited in April and it was a chilly 3°C. Skiing down the Glacier du Varet was very pleasant and the snow was good even unlike the slush further down in the valley. Great views, especially on Mont Blanc. Although it was very pleasant up top, there are no toilets at the top, it is frequently closed in winter due to strong winds and there are long queues very often onto the cable car that takes one up. Would recommend, but come prepared for no café or toilet.

Amazing view, it can take you some time toget to the top with the lift, but it was definitely worth it

Wonderful views. Strong winds, very cold. Skiing down was relatively straight forward not too icy either. Would visit again on a clear day.

(Translated by Google) They canceled the reservation at the last minute, when we had all already arrived! And it was the same for the group just before... Terrible welcome, I have never been so poorly received in an establishment in my entire life. The extremely unpleasant staff, insulted us and called us liars as if we had not booked even though 15 minutes before we checked on the website and everything was OK. I have been a resident of Arcs 1800 for years, and I assure you that it is the worst establishment in the resort! Don't be fooled like us, move on from this dismal establishment. (Original) Ils ont annulés la réservation à la dernière minute, quand on était déjà tous arrivés ! Et c'était la même chose pour le groupe juste avant... Accueil lamentable, je n'ai jamais été aussi mal reçu dans un établissement de toute ma vie. Le personnel extrêmement désagréable, nous a insulté et nous a traité de menteur comme quoi nous n'avions pas réservé alors que 15 minutes avant nous avons vérifié sur le site internet et tout était OK. Je suis résident des arcs 1800 depuis des années, et je vous assure que c'est le pire établissement de la station! Ne vous faites pas avoir comme nous, passez votre chemin sur cet établissement lamentable.

(Translated by Google) Very bad experience at this laser game. The welcome was execrable, gratuitous nastiness while we are on vacation, relaxed and relaxed... such a shame... the children did not understand and were shocked. Go on your way and enjoy the other activities where The welcome is generally great in this resort. (Original) Très mauvaise expérience à ce laser game. L'accueil à été exécrable, de la méchanceté gratuite alors que nous sommes en vacances, décontracté et relax... tellement dommage.. les enfants n'ont pas compris et ont été choqués. Passez votre chemin et profitez des autres activités où L'accueil est généralement super dans cette station.

(Translated by Google) AVOID!! Just pitiful and dishonest. Pitiful welcome, reservation canceled without ever notifying us! We had been warned that the establishment was not respectable, but we wanted to try it anyway. Moral of the story, we will never go back! (Original) A ÉVITER !! Juste lamentable et malhonnête. Accueil pitoyable, réservation annulé sans jamais nous avertir ! On nous avait prévenu que l’établissement n‘était pas respectable, mais on a quand même voulu essayer. Morale de l’histoire, on n’y retournera jamais !

(Translated by Google) We had booked the day before 1 game for three, 2x15 min. On the day we show up and are received by the person in charge of the place. A rather disconcerting person at first glance, due to his very deep voice and his skater look. But a person very close to his customers, who knows his work and above all who explains very well how his laser game works. A very clean and hygienic laser game. The first 15 minutes, we are individually against the 20 other people present, followed by a rather humorous debriefing with the manager and finally the last 15 minutes as a team. We had a great time Really thank you I highly recommend Laurent (Original) Nous avions réservé la veille 1 partie pour trois, 2x15 min. Le jour j on se présente et on est reçu par le responsable des lieux. Une personne assez déroutante à première vue, de part sa voix très grave et son look de skateur. Mais une personne très proche de sa clientèle, qui connaît son travail et surtout qui explique très bien le fonctionnement de son lasergame. Un lasergame très propre et au top de l'hygiène. Les premières 15 min, on est en individuel contre les 20 autres personnes présentes, suivi d'un debriefing assez humoristique avec le gérant et enfin les 15 dernières min en équipe . On a passé un super moment Vraiment merci à vous Je recommande vivement Laurent

(Translated by Google) Very nice Done as a family at 5 p.m. 13€ for 2 parts. First solo then as a team. Be on time. Very professional manager. To do to have a good time! (Original) Très sympa Fait en famille à 17h. 13€ les 2 parties. D'abord en solo puis en équipe. Être bien à l'heure. Gérant très pro. A faire pour passer un bon moment!

(Translated by Google) Top experience! very well maintained, the welcome is very friendly! Very well explained and great activity. The owner is very professional and conscientious. I went back there 3 times. We never tire of it and we want to do it again! (Original) Expérience au top! très bien tenu, l accueil est très sympathique! Tres bien expliqué et activité geniale. Le propriétaire est très professionnel et consciencieux. J y suis retournée 3 fois. On ne se lasse pas et on a envie d'en refaire!

(Translated by Google) I came with my pot and I'm coming back tomorrow to have done all the laser games Béziers Toulouse Carcassonne Lyon etc. it's not at all the same equipment as the others but we had a great time. The best part is that the manager is also a facilitator, he participates in everything and comments on the scores. It was great (Original) Je suis venu avec mon pot et je reviens demain pour avoir fait tous les laser game Béziers Toulouse Carcassonne Lyon ect ce n' est pas du tout le même matériel que les autres mais on à passé un super moment. Le plus est que le responsable est aussi animateur il participe à tout et commente les scores . C' était super

We simply love Peisey-Vallandry! We return whenever we have a ski holiday. Friendly village, skiing great so vast, restaurants on the mountain are great. We ski to La Plagne too so tons to ski. Scenery so inspiring. We like that you can get train, plane or drive to village. We've been so much it feels like a second home. Will go back

Always very friendly and helpful in the supermarket, Tourist office and post office ( which is now in the tourist office) which is very convenient. Always call into the Tourist office if I need any guidance or help.

Great ski area and resort

Great authentic village

Warm and friendly service. Great food and wine despite being incredibly busy.

Great dinner! The croziflette and the "magret de canard aux myrtilles" were really good. The tartiflette was nice too but a tad below in my opinion. The "fondant au chocolat" was outstanding 😛. We had a Côte du Rhône which was great — it can't be bad when it's from Chapoutier! The woman owning the place is very welcoming and easy going. Her husband seems to be in charge of beverages

Beautiful dishes! A great way to enjoy the specialities in the region. Friend and I had dinner here: tartiflette, escargot, onion soup, and crepe for dessert. We enjoyed every course. This boutique restaurant requires booking in advance and has a nice vibe and service

Delicious traditional food from this region. Friendly service, very attentive to all our needs. Highly recommend it to come as a family. Thank you for a wonderful time and a good food.

Delicious food, very friendly and attentive staff and a great atmosphere.

Very good restaurant the food are very delicious very kind service we will come back again ❤️❤️

Good and traditional regional food. Wine list is ok and a little pricey

Our experience at this restaurant was disappointing from the beginning. Although the restaurant was not busy, we were initially refused a table. The hostess stated that only tables for three or four people were available, even though we observed multiple two-person tables occupied by solo diners. The reasoning felt arbitrary and unwelcoming. After we were finally seated, I ordered a steak, which was unfortunately served overcooked. When I mentioned the issue, the waitress showed no interest in resolving it. Throughout the meal, she checked on other tables and engaged with other guests — yet never once approached our table to ask how we were doing or if we needed anything. The only redeeming part of the service was a male server who was polite and professional. However, the overall lack of courtesy and care left a lasting negative impression. I would not return, nor would I recommend this establishment to others.

Very good local Savoyard restaurant. Great tartiflette as the name suggests, excellent cream brûlée for desert and fair prices for beer and wine. Recommended

Delicious raclette at a fantastic price - cannot be beaten! You will not be able to finish that lovely cheese, believe me, I tried... Charcuterie on point and mustard was lit (my mouth on fire 🔥). House wine 9.5€ per bottle really good stuff to compliment that melty cheese. Mega good you need to try and give a big tip.

Traditional restaurant with dishes from Burgundy, we ate tartiflette, a dish specific to the area, very tasty. I recommend!

The worst pizza ever!!! If you like pizza with a black base, this is the place to be. I suggest that the restaurant send their emplyees to Italy in order to follow a training. I don't understand how this "restaurant" does have so many 5 star reviews. Just 1 star is even over rated.

Great pizza and excellent desserts. Service was slow but didn't mind. Great place full of laughing people enjoying good food!

Nice food at a very fair price. Had pizza one night and it was so nice that I went back for entrecôte the next night.

Come here for drinks in the sun, or to party during winter when the vibes are turned up! But honestly, the food quality isn’t as great as it could be. Over winter the menu gets pimped up a fair bit more and can be better. The summer menu is laid back and has a nice range of options- fresh bbq etc, but I think there are better options in the village for the same price. In saying that, you will always have a good time here- the vibes are up and the staff are fantastic, happy, helpful and they all have great English for those of us with a French language deficit 🙃

A nice vibe and the staff is super attentive and friendly. But half a rack of spareribs for €39 better be perfect. Admittedly, well prepared and succulent, and the seasoning was nice. But it lacked character and depth of flavour making it all disappointingly bland. The dish of the day (also pictured) was flavourful and probably the better choice.

A popular place within the ski resort. Fantastic scenery, huge bar, live music, happy people. all this has to be paid for, so the prices here are high. I tried the classic, French onion soup. Delicious, but I've definitely eaten better. French fries are good and crispy though.

Fabulous decor, top-notch food on the slopes, and great service. What more can you ask for? For mains, I had the beef cheek while my partner had the duck breast. Would 100% recommend both, but the duck breast was a smidge better. Also, do order their cider—it was the best I’ve had in France. An unforgettable meal!

Nice place, some say a must apre ski when in the area. I found it indeed very lively, with a good food selection and decent service. The prices were almost twice than other establishments in the area (smaller one, of course, but still). If you can get a good bottle of champagne for 100 EUR in another place, there it will be around 130-140. Oysters are good, but again - 6 cost 28 EUR, while not far away the price 16. The atmosphere itself is nice, but I can't say it met expectations (or maybe there were just too high in the first place 😅). All in all, it's a nice place. But we were not blown away.

We did not stay for dinner or lunch, but we went for après-ski drinks. Great DJ and performers; the view is stunning. Prices are a bit high, but this is to be expected in such a place. Overall, a great experience and recommended.

It's a great location to stop for a drink or food while on the slopes! They have a wide variety of snacks, warm food, deserts! The space is airy and clean, great music and what's even better they provide great entertainment: a magician, live music, dancers! We went there twice and had a great time!

Very nice experience and cool vibes all around. 2 options : the Self or the a la carte (Table de l’Arpette) which is a more fine / pricy option but definitely very good !

I did not care for the food at all except from the pancakes. The location and the look is great. You have to cross some really sleepry ice to get into the restaurant.

Very good service and nicely plated, flavourful food! We have been here three times during our week long holiday to les arcs; twice for drinks and once for a meal in the restaurant. The view is amazing!! And the music adds a nice atmosphere on the terrace in the afternoon. We had a meal inside the restaurant when it was colder, which was just great.

Food was terrible and expensive, vibes and view were alright.

Close to Arpette 14 ski lift, you have this restaurant. The restaurant has two options: a proper restaurant and a self service. On a good sunny day you can have a view of surrounding mountains.

Good price quality, good food and friendly service

A food factory on the mountain with a self-service tray counter. The food seemed okay in general. I had the linguine bolognese. The linguine was overcooked by 1-2 minutes and cooked with unsalted water and the bolognese was just okay.
