Top 5 Things to do in Les Arcs

 This is a guest blog by Laura of Snow Crazy

Here's our Top 5 things to do if you are on a ski or snowboard holiday in Les Arcs!
 
1. Ski from the top of the Aiguille Rouge at 3250m down to Villaroger at 1200m...with 7km of piste it's one of Europe's longest runs. At the top experience the stunning 360 degree view by climbing a short slope to an Orientation Table.
 
2. Stop at the rustic Les Chalets de l'Arc for a 'chausson' for lunch, a whole meal cooked inside a large loaf of bread baked in the highest bakery in Europe at 2220m altitude. Enjoy the very pleasant piped music of cow bells and birds chirping in the loos!
 
3. Hop on a sledge after hours and get on the Rodeo run, a purpose built 3.5km toboggan run that will thrill you and chill you!
 
4. Take the double decker Vanoise Express cable car over to La Plagne and ski La Plagne for the day! Built in 2003 at a height of 380m, it carries 200 skiers across nearly 2km of thin air taking 4 minutes either way. When it first opened, it was the biggest, longest and fastest cable car in the world.
 
5. Try the Flying Kilometre, hitting speeds of up to 250km/h, it's an adrenalin rush to beat them all! Launch yourself on specially provided skis down a steep one kilometre stretch of piste whilst being timed. Open to everyone age 7 or over.
 
Do all these things whilst staying at Chalet Eagle's Nest or Chalet Marigold with Snowcrazy (www.snowcrazy.co.uk).
