Arc 1800 Walking Tour | Explore Les Arcs Ski Resort in 4K (France) | Ski Resorts walks

Welcome to this immersive, unfiltered stroll through the heart of Arc 1800, Les Arcs, France, captured in stunning 4K at the end of March. With a stabilised camera in hand, I invite you to experience the village just as I did: no edits, no commentary, simply the sights and sounds of this iconic alpine destination. It’s the next best thing to being here yourself, whether you’re reminiscing about past adventures or planning your next escape. Arc 1800 is the beating heart of Les Arcs, the largest and most vibrant of the four main resort areas. Here, you’ll discover a lively, pedestrianised centre brimming with over a hundred shops, inviting cafés, and a cosmopolitan selection of restaurants-perfect for a long lunch or après-ski tipple. The village is cleverly divided into four distinct quarters: Charvet, Villards, Chantel, and Charmettoger, each with its own character, yet all seamlessly interconnected. Set at an altitude of approximately 1,800 metres, Arc 1800 sits just above the treeline, offering spectacular mountain vistas and a sun-drenched aspect, ideal for those long, lazy afternoons on the terrace. This west-facing position means the village often enjoys the best of the weather, with sunshine lingering well into the evening. The architecture here is a masterclass in modern alpine design, blending harmoniously with the surrounding landscape, thanks to the visionary work of Charlotte Perriand and her team. Expect open-plan spaces, panoramic windows, and balconies that invite the outdoors in. Arc 1800 is not just about style; it’s supremely practical. The resort is largely car-free, making it a safe and pleasant environment to explore on foot. You’ll find everything you need within easy reach: from cinemas and ice rinks to boutiques and ski hire, not to mention a vibrant après-ski scene that continues well into the night. Whether you’re here for the skiing, the shopping, or simply to soak up the atmosphere, there’s never a dull moment. But of course, Les Arcs is first and foremost a skier’s paradise. The resort forms part of the legendary Paradiski area, one of the largest interconnected ski domains in the world. Linked to neighbouring La Plagne and Peisey-Vallandry by the engineering marvel of the Vanoise Express cable car, Paradiski offers a staggering 425 kilometres of pistes, served by over 160 lifts. That’s enough terrain to satisfy even the most adventurous of skiers and snowboarders. Here are a few key stats for the aficionados: Paradiski ski area: 425 km of pistes, 160 lifts, two glaciers above 3,000 metres, and two snowparks. Les Arcs alone: Over 200 km of pistes, 54 lifts, and a high point of 3,226 metres. Runs for all abilities: Paradiski boasts 152 green/blue (beginner) runs, 79 red (intermediate), and 22 black (expert) runs. Longest piste: Vallon de l’Arc at 7 km-an epic descent for those who love to cruise. Snow-sure skiing: Over 70% of the area is above 2,000 metres, ensuring excellent conditions throughout the season. Cross-country trails: Around 150 km for those who prefer a gentler pace. Arc 1800 is particularly well-suited to families, beginners, and intermediates, with wide, forgiving pistes and ski-in/ski-out convenience from most accommodation. In fact, 90% of the runs into the village are graded blue, making it a welcoming base for those perfecting their technique or seeking a relaxed, sociable ski holiday. The village itself is alive with activity year-round. Whether you’re indulging in a spot of retail therapy, sampling local Savoyard cuisine, or simply wandering the bustling squares, Arc 1800 offers a uniquely modern take on the classic alpine resort.
