Les Arcs Season 2014 - 2015, New Thread for this season starts on page 29.

Hi folks, the new thread for 2014 - 2015 season starts on page 29. More stuff to follow

If you ask me questions I will try to give you the answers, but I do not check this thread everyday so please give me a bit of time or send me a PM if it is urgent.

The old thread is now closed, but the pictures from last season are still there if you want to see what Les Arcs has to offer. Just click on the other thread to take a look.

You can also check out many more pics on my Les Arcs Winter facebook page.

or for pics from the summer:

http://www.facebook.com/LesArcsSummer

There are far to many pics on those pages to post them all here.

As the season progresses I will try to update this thread every week. Rock on the winter. All the recent snow has gone except on the glaciers as the temps are high again right now.

All being well I hope to be back on skis/snowboard by the start of December, maybe even November if I am lucky.

In the meantime, some of the webcams are now on so you can follow the progress of the winter from them if you are really keen.

ENJOY

Time for a few details for the coming season.

The Funi and other lifts in Les Arcs / Peisey Valandry areas open on the 15 December 2012 and close 27 April 2013.

They could not confirm when the Villoroger lifts open and close, but they should be the same start date as the rest of the area if there is enough snow lower down. I will post details when they have confirmed them.

The Vanoise Express opens on 22 December 2012 and closes 27 April 2013.

Thanks very much Snowcrazy, that's a big help :D

Hi

first question of the season. group of us are out in arc2000 12th jan. need a good snowboard rental place. normally we look for a little independant place such as Tignes Spirit in Tignes but cant seem to find any for les arcs. is there a shop you can recommend or am i stuck with interski and the likes?

Is it allowed to ask about La Plagne on this thread (I saw the old thread included LaP)? Here goes: Anybody has hires pdf/jpg slope map of La Plagne? Most recent I can find are flash based maps. I did find the 1964/1965 though :-)

UPDATED on buying ski passes. I have checked the Info on the Les Arcs webpage.

Les Arcs are offering discounts this month on ski passes for short trips as well as season passes for the rest of this month so if you are coming out for a few days or up to three weeks then this is a good way of getting some discount.

But the pre-season offer on Season Ski Passes is valid until 30.11.2012 and not only until end of october.

For season passes you get 25% discount on a Paradiski pass which is well worth the money for a season pass.

For more info on the Season Ski passes take a look at these links. It says on the web page that the offer is open until 30 . 11 . 2012 for season passes, but I would order yours soon rather than wait as this may change.

Hi folks, correction to my earlier post. The ski pass discount is only valid for passes up to 15 days, not three weeks. The season pass details are correct. Be quick as it says the offer on the 15 day passes only lasts until the end of October.
