Les Arcs ski resort dedicates a week to British celebrations
Michel Giraudy, Mayor of Les Arcs wrote:Brexit or not Brexit, that's not the question! The British skiers are
welcome in Les Arcs like it is their home. By creating the event « The Great British Celebration », we want to reassert our friendship with the British. The idea was also to make French people discover the rich Anglo-saxon culture and to celebrate our union, here in our ski resort and on our ski slopes.
In the programme there will be entertainments and events during the whole week in each village of Les Arcs. British skiers can look forward to amusement, fiesta, and skiing!
Since the early days of alpinism in the 19th century, when heroes like Edward Whymper and Albert Mummery made
their mark on the Alps, the British have always loved the altitude, the snow and now the ski experiences.
Les Arcs ski resort, where 45% of overseas skiers come from the UK, knows more than anyone else how passionate the Brits are about skiing and are acknowledging how much they value UK skiers by organising a whole week dedicated to British snow-lovers this season.
The Great British Celebration in Les Arcs, which is running from 27-30 March 2017, aims to celebrate British culture with a week full of skiing, parties and offers. Despite Brexit being on the horizon, Les Arcs wants to celebrate the British culture and remind UK skiers that the resort will always be their home – just with a bit more cheese, wine and snails!
The Great British Celebration details
The whole resort will be decked out in British colours, from the railway station in Bourg Saint Maurice to the summit of the Aiguille Rouge at 3226 metres of altitude from 27-30 March 2017.
