Paradiski is one of the world's largest interconnected ski areas. Day and night, the ski area does everything it can to amaze its visitors! The variety of activities on offer offers an unprecedented range of possibilities for having fun. They also offer moments of sharing between skiers and non-skiers, who can get together to challenge each other on a toboggan, take off on the Tyrolienne duo, or pose for a memorable photo on the Aiguille Rouge panoramic footbridge, at an altitude of 3226 meters.
From 1,200 to 3,250 meters above sea level, the ski area extends over 425 km of pistes linking the ski resorts of Les Arcs, Peisey-Vallandry and La Plagne.
Renowned for its scenic beauty and endless skiing possibilities, Paradiski is located at the gateway to the Vanoise National Park, a 53,000-hectare protected natural area in the heart of the Alps.
As for the Les Arcs ski area within Paradiski, it boasts around 107 ski runs for 200 km of skiing. In the Les Arcs ski area, you'll find boarder-crosses and fun areas: snowpark, freestyle, high altitude toboggan run, flora and fauna discovery trail, as well as an exceptional variety of landscapes around the ski slopes.
And if it were possible to divert the garage of a ski lift (a nocturnal cocoon that protects the cabins from high-altitude conditions) from its primary function, what would we do with it?
At the arrival point of the Varet gondola, there's an unsuspected, out-of-sight spot which, every morning, undergoes a transformation and dons its habit of light(s). The 500m2 of the Varet gondola garage gives way to an extraordinary high-altitude experience. An unexpected passageway reveals a triptych of universes in which visitors are invited to wander, listen and contemplate twirling light frescoes around the seasons.
This unusual digital exhibition, with its unexpected location and altitude, creates a unique, timeless memory.

Inaugurated last winter, La Tyrolienne de l'Aiguille Rouge is now one of the resort's must-sees!
It's 70 seconds of pure adrenalin, at an average speed of 130km/h, for a vertiginous descent 1.8km long! Solo, duo, seated or lying down in bird-like mode, all that's left to do is soar!
Thanks to the Paradiski YUGE application, you can retrieve a photo of your take-off and landing from your mobile phone by going to the chalet at the end of the zip-line.
A Mountain Animal Museum at altitude is unexpected. And yet it's the most appropriate place to raise visitors' awareness of the animals that surround them. There are no zebras or seals here, but the local fauna, judging by the tracks left in the immaculate snow. The Mountain Animal Museum is the perfect place to learn how to recognize these tracks. Just off the Vallandry gondola lift, this unique museographic space invites you to discover mountain flora and fauna, with over 30 emblematic species on display. You'll need to keep your eyes peeled and pay close attention to the surrounding natural environment, which can hold some wonderful surprises as you make your way down the slopes, as more than 200 protected animal species, from mammals to birds, live in the mountain area. Free access, accessible to skiers and pedestrians via the Vallandry gondola lift.
With the breathtaking panoramas of the ski area and the exceptional ski runs, you can't help but think of all the descents you're going to make during your stay in the mountains. But there's more to the skiing experience than just gliding down the Alps.
With the Paradiski Yuge application, Paradiski has thought of everything to enhance your vacation in Les Arcs: track your skiing days, including the number of runs you've descended and the altitude difference you've covered. This tailor-made application also features a wealth of information, including weather forecasts, a piste map with real-time location information... It's like having the whole ski area in your pocket!
What's more, there are over 60 free wifi hot spots in the Paradiski area, so you can stay connected!
As well as keeping a record of your vacation on your smartphone, there are plenty of “off-ski” activities just waiting for you. Each more original than the last, our activities will enable you to enjoy special moments with family and friends in one of Savoie's most beautiful ski areas.

For beginners wishing to discover the pleasures of snow sports, the mountain area offers progression areas with courses adapted to different levels.
This winter, a new progression course with three areas dedicated to discovering and learning the pleasures of skiing welcomes beginners to Arc 2000. Easy access from Arc 2000 and Arc 1950 with the Cabriolet gondola linking the 2 resorts.
Every season, the Paradiski ski area offers its share of surprises and novelties.
Every year, the Village plays host to Les Arcs Film Festival, one of the resort's major winter events. For this year's event, the Village is dedicating its ski slope, which runs through Arc 1950 and winds its way through the high-end boutiques, to the stars who have visited this original cultural event for a decade.
The Vallée de l'Arc, a wide valley with a majestic view of Mont Blanc, is a sector of the ski area that is accessible to all, and which is improving year on year.
After the 2017 modernization of the Pré St Esprit detachable chairlift which flies over the Village, it's now the turn of the Comborcière chairlift to get a facelift with a 4-seater detachable lift, twice as fast and more comfortable, which will facilitate exchanges between Arc 1600 and its new Club Med, and Arc 1950. And that's not all: a new slope, “Le Secret”, will take its place in the heart of a marvellous valley, hidden from view.
At an altitude of 3226 metres, the new footbridge will offer a 360° view of the exceptional panorama of the highest Alpine peaks. It will also reveal the secrets of the Hauts de Villaroger Nature Reserve. And what's more, the Aiguille Rouge gondolas will be redecorated.
