Arc 1950

Arc 1950 is one of the villages within the Les Arcs ski area in Savoie, sitting at around 1,950 metres above sea level and linked to La Plagne by the Vanoise Express cable car, together forming the Paradiski ski domain. Designed as a pedestrian-friendly mountain village, it offers direct access to the slopes in winter. During the rest of the year, the surrounding area is particularly well suited to hiking: the lakes trail (sentier des lacs), open in summer, leads walkers past several high-altitude lakes set within unspoiled natural scenery. Nearby peaks, including the Aiguille Rouge and the Grand Col area, are popular destinations for walks offering wide views over the Vanoise massif and neighbouring glaciers. Additional outdoor activities are available on site, such as tree-top adventure courses, archery and golf archery, rounding out the sporting offer. For everyday essentials, the bakery in Arc 1950 is often mentioned for its warm welcome. Built in a consistent architectural style, the resort combines year-round mountain living with direct access to a large ski area during the winter season.
