Discover The Art of Ski in All Its Styles at Arc 2000

The Arcs ski resort invites ski lovers to take advantage of a mountain area that is not only immense but also astonising by its variety!  Located in the bosom of the French Alps,  Paradiski is well-named :  it is a perfect site for  those passionate about sensations and vertiginous inclines, as well as those mountain addicts who  want nothing more than skiing through a natural preserve that is in constant regeneration… The skiable terrain ends on the glaciers at close to 10,000 feet and  around 70% of the skiable areas are above 6500 feet height with no less than 275 miles of slopes and trails available to skiers.

 

But the Arcs resort also permits one to slip and slide differently, to let go of the skis for just a moment and to be surprised by unknown activities, other disciplines that are often bolder …  At the base of the Aiguille Rouge, the highest point of the mountain resort, Les Arcs 2000 is the final stop for joy riders, the spot where new types of sliding blossom in complete freedom.   Speed skiing, freeride, speed riding, jeering… enthusiasts of new and unusual experiences will be ecstatic.  For example, speed riding combines ski and wind sailing to slip between sliding and flying in the mountains!  Towed by a small sail, it is possible to leave earth to jump over an obstacle and to take off to ski areas not usually accessible…  Seasoned skiers will be able to try out this activity in Arc 2000.  For something  different again, it is also possible to try the yooner, a sort of  mini sled composed of an ergonomic seat mounted on a single, short ski.  The machine is equipped with shock absorbers and  is guided by way of a small handle :  in a few minutes, the yooner is easily mastered so the fun can begin!
 

To simplify ski equipment  hire les Arc, a Skimium partner is available : 3  stores are at skiers' disposal in Arc 2000.  One can rent all one's equipment, downhill skis, x-country skis,  mini skis, snowboards, snowshoes, ski boots,  helmets…  Moreover, it is possible to take advantage of a stay in Arc 2000 and discover novel activities, by choosing the Freeedom to  Ski option which allows one to change equipment daily to adapt to snow conditions!   The joys of skiing are at Arc 2000!
