SEASON 2013 / 2014 STARTS HERE!!!

The Autumn is officially arriving this weekend plus there has been a very light dusting of snow high on the mountains of Les Arcs and the Paradiski area over the past few days so it must be time to start thinking about the new season page.

I have also checked and updated all the links in the opening message of this page. All are working today. Hope that helps with your planning.

Fresh snow high up again and some of the passes are now closed from the 1st November 2013. You need to check your routes if you plan on driving in the mountains across the high passes. It looks like winter has arrived.

SKI PASS DISCOUNT at Les Arcs and the Paradiski. The discounted 10% on lift passes for holidays this season from 1 to 15 days has been extended to 15 November and for season passes the 20% discount finishes on 30 November so buy early and save money.

Wow, thats very comforting, if you get me?

It's Been Snowing again!!

Blue sky and fresh snow on the mountains. Has the winter really started to arrive. I hope so. Soon have the skis back on. The high passes are closed and there is enough snow to start forming a base higher up if the cold spell lasts.

Is it time to start praying to the snow gods!!

Take a look at the webcams. It looks good. Enjoy!!
