Paridiski is made up of two ski areas connected by an amazing
cable lift. To the left of the piste map above is Les Arc,one of
the most extensive and varied ski domains in the world - great
for all types of skiers from beginners to advanced. Les
Arcs now linked to La Plagne, the new Paradiski area, offers
420kms of pistes, including the Aiguille Rouge glacier above Arc
2000 and the Bellecote glacier in La Plagne, guaranteeing snow.
Les Arc is a skiers and snowboarders heaven.
For
beginners, Les Arcs is well-equipped with gentle beginner's
slopes - a boon for the inexperienced.
For
intermediates, Les Arcs offers fantastic tree-lined descents
into Peisey Nancroix and Vallandry and a multitude of
interlinked blue and red runs. We recommend you try some high
altitude skiing on the Aiguille Rouge and Bellecote glaciers.
For
the advanced, ski the breathtaking 7km black run Aiguille Rouge
right the way down into Villaroger (Europe's biggest vertical
drop of 2000m), pound the moguls of Dou de l'Homme or take the
new 200 seater lift over to La Plagne and return off-piste
through the imposing Nancroix forest.
For
boarders, it has become the home of a number of snowboard pros
due to superb board park and half-pipe. There are so many
natural hits to play on in the Clocheret area that there is no
danger of running out of things to do. There is also abundant
terrain for beginners to progress on all week.
In
summary in Les Arcs, there are 200km of pistes, 20 hectares of
snow making, the longest run Aiguille Rouge piste is 7km is
length and 2100m in vertical descent, there is 30km of

Plagne:
For
beginners, La Plagne has gentle nursery slopes and excellent
English speaking ski instructors, so novice skiers will be
enjoying the multitude of blue and green runs across the resort.

the advanced, they will relish La Plagne - try the glorious
powder between the trees down to the village of Les Coches or
