Guaranteed snow all season long for skiing in Les Arcs
Thanks to the high altitude of the mountain resort, snow is guaranteed from December through the end of April.
With 70% of the slopes located above 2,000 meters and a peak reaching 3,226 meters, our resort in the Northern Alps guarantees exceptional snow conditions throughout the winter.
Whether you’re a powder enthusiast, a fan of spring skiing, or simply looking for snow-covered landscapes, Les Arcs offers ideal conditions for skiing without worrying about the snow.
Optimal snow conditions thanks to the high altitude
Unfortunately, we can’t answer THE question that comes up every year:
- “Will there be snow this winter?” -
“I’m coming to Arc 1800 the second week of February—will there be snow?”
Even though we love observing the signs of nature that our elders remind us of…
- Lots of wasps in summer? That’s a good sign!
- Gentian flowers blooming high up? Expect snow-covered slopes
- An onion with a thousand layers? Get your skis ready—it’s going to be a long season
- Generous hazelnut trees? Winter will be just as bountiful
- Heavy snowfall at Coronet Peak in July? That’s a good sign!
Superstition or science? No one knows… But one thing is certain: the numbers don’t lie!
The resort stretches from Villaroger (1,200 m) to Aiguille Rouge (3,226 m), with 70% of the trails located above 2,000 m in elevation—enough to guarantee quality snow all winter long.
