What to do in Les Arcs?

With its speed reaching 130 km/h, the Arcs zip line will give you great thrills, solo or in pairs, summer and winter. You will experience leaving from the top of the Varet gondola then flying over the Olympic track of the flying kilometre of the Albertville Olympic Games to arrive near the Olympic flame at Arc 2000. The 1077 m long descent can be done seated or lying down and is accessible to pedestrians and skiers from 10 years old.

Arc'en Trott' will show you the mountains on an electric scooter throughout the year. This one-and-a-half-hour walk accompanied by an instructor offers an original and ecological solution to discover Les Arcs. In winter, you can swap your scooter for an electric snowmobile for a 20-minute ride on the Mount Bike circuit, located opposite the snowpark. These activities are reserved for people over 14 years old.

The Miam Corner invites you to taste gourmet and straightforward home cooking made with fresh products in vintage decor. Salads, bagels, sandwiches and burgers are offered in classic or vegan versions to satisfy all appetites. You can order one of the local beers, Savoie wine, hot chocolate, or one of their many à la carte teas on the bar side. Why not accompany it with a chocolate treat, cheesecake, or waffle even?

Located near the Charmettoger chairlift, L'Asseta is one of those high-altitude restaurants that would almost make you give up your skis to extend your gourmet break. On its south-facing terrace, you can enjoy one of the essential Savoyard specialities or let yourself be pleasantly surprised by one of the signature dishes of the chef, Thierry Denes. The restaurant also welcomes you for a comforting snack when the skiing slopes close or for dinner.

At the Chalets de l'Arc, the menu is generous in Savoyard specialities. Tartiflette, croziflette, cheese crust and Savoyard fondue have found a serious competitor there: the cheese maker's skillet. This house speciality consists of potatoes, vegetables, Savoie raw ham, dried meat and an assortment of cheeses from the Alps (raclette, reblochon, Tomme and Beaufort), to be cooked over the embers. A dream for all cheese lovers in France!

Coffee shop with healthy flavours, this address located in Arc 1800 will delight your brunches and breakfasts with savoury (scrambled eggs, avocado toast, salmon croissants) and sweet (banana cakes; smoothie bowl, pancakes) preparations. Everything here is organic and homemade, enough to give you strength before hitting the ski slopes or comfort after a long day braving the cold.

Just because you've come to seek the great outdoors in the Alps doesn't mean you can't also take advantage of it to develop your artistic flair. There are two solutions to satisfy your children's creative appetite: book a drawing or watercolour lesson with Renata Buckova, designer and painter who offers creative workshops adapted to children, or entrust them to Muriel Carayol, visual artist and therapist, who will be happy to help them progress in drawing, whatever their age and level.

Do your children have eyes that shine in front of clowns and other circus acrobats? Offer them an immersion in this beautiful world of live performance. They will learn to juggle or swing on a trapeze under the real circus tent set up in the resort of Les Arcs. At the end of the week, shows are organized to allow parents to admire the progress made by their apprentice jugglers.

Alpine Baroque art was born at the dawn of the 17th century, when churches and sanctuaries in the Haute-Tarentaise were erected or restored in style "conducive to disturbing, moving and seducing the souls of the faithful". Baroque sculptures play with shapes and create plays of light and shadow that you can find in the church of the village of Hauteville-London and the place of visit entitled the colours of the Baroque.

Since the beginning of the 19th century, the textile industry has found its place in the Alpine valleys. One of its last representatives, the Savoyard spinning mill Arpi, specializing in fabrics, plaids, cushions and clothing, opens its doors to you to discover its workshops and machines classified as national heritage. You will be able to observe the different stages of transformation of the wool, from carding to spinning to weaving and appreciate the finesse and elegance of the creations of the house.

Located in Bourg Saint Maurice in one of the former military garages of the town, the Brasserie du Petit St Bernard (PSB for short) will make you discover its creations in its bar transformed into a tasting room. You will be able to taste the house production made up of craft beers with evocative names such as Bouquetin or Free rider or more exotic such as Das Bier or Sunny Side Up.

The indoor space consists of two pools that open all year round and the outdoor space for the summer with a large paddling pool, a relaxation pool with bubble benches and swan's necks. What's more? There are two swimming lanes, and the Center nautical of Bourg Saint Maurice brings together everything you need to spend a moment of relaxation with your family. Activities such as aquagym, aquabike, circuit training and individual or collective swimming courts are also available by reservation.

At Les Arcs 1800 bowling, we do much more than competing on one of the eight lanes with strikes. You can also play billiards, table football and video games, have a drink at the cocktail bar, be comfortably seated on a leather sofa and share tapas or a pizza. It is an ideal place to live to gather young and old after a long day of skiing or when the weather is erratic.

Luxury, calm and voluptuousness await you in these 400 m2 dedicated to your well-being. You will find a 15-meter long swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a hammam, a sauna and a relaxation room with a salt wall. A wide range of relaxing and rejuvenating face and body treatments are also provided for solo or couples to complete this moment of pleasure spent in the Spa of the 5-star Taj-I-Mah Hotel.
