Paradiski
is
made up of 20 different holiday
destinations, some of the main resorts
being Les Arcs, Arc 1950, La Plagne, Peisey
Vallandry and Bourg
Saint Maurice. With 425km of pistes and
2-equipped glaciers there is something to
suit skiers and boarders of all ages and
abilities. Paradiski has excellent
facilities and with its huge variation in
altitude (1200m-3250m) there is a
multitude of different types of scenery
and piste to
explore.
The
world’s largest cable car opened in
Paradiski in December 2003 which crosses
a wooded valley to link Les Arcs and La
Plagne in
just 4 minutes. This 2km long cable car,
has made skiing exciting, by allowing
skiers to take up a challenge and ski
across the entire Paradiski area.
The
resorts here vary from quiet modern
developments to unspoiled old villages
(Peisey) so
whatever you are looking for, it can be
found here. Lunch time dining can be
found all over the slopes, so one day you
can dine above Champagny and the
next Arc 2000.

Les
Arcs
Les
Arcs is split into 3 levels: Les Arc
1600, Les Arc 1800 and Les Arc 2000, each
offering a different flavour from
functional to charming, but all providing
superb ski-in ski-out facilities within
the Paradiski area. Spoilt with both
skiing and snowboarding options, the
domain offers splendid view of the Mont
Blanc massif and the Tarentaise Valley
now stretches as far as La Plagne.
·
Peisey-Vallandry
The
small traditional villages of Peisey and Vallandry are
situated halfway between the main resorts
of Les Arcs and La Plagne. Peisey, perched at
1600m of altitude, is an authentic and
pretty mountain village with real farm
buildings and Baroque heritage. The up
and coming resort of Peisey
Vallandry is
becoming more popular for its ideal
starting point to explore both Les Arcs
and La Plagne
ski areas and is a quiet alternative to
bustling Les Arcs.
·
Bourg
Saint-Maurice
Bourg
Saint-Maurice is the main town in the
Tarentaise
Valley and is surrounded by numerous ski
resorts that together attract more than
10 million skiers each year. If you are
looking for a slightly different ski
holiday experience to a traditional
resort, then this lively and active town
is the one for you.

1950
The
recently established ski resort of Arc
1950 Le Village has been designed with an
American ethos; the ski-in–ski-out
resort is self-contained with everything
from ski schools and ski hire to bars and
restaurant right on your door step. Le
Village Arc 1950 provides instant comfort
and a secure atmosphere so is a great
choice for families. Arc 1950 is located
just below Arc 2000, within the Paradiski
ski area. A gondola links both ski
resorts until 9pm.

La
Plagne
consists of ten separate 'villages' some
of the larger villages include Plagne Villages,
