Location details for Les Arcs resort

Les Arcs stands as one of France’s most innovative and accessible French ski resorts, built across four distinct altitude levels in the heart of the French Alps. This purpose-built resort spans from Les Arcs 1600 at its base to Les Arcs 2000 at its highest point, each level offering unique characteristics and stunning Mont Blanc vistas.

The resort maintains a contemporary mountain atmosphere, with Les Arcs 1800 providing excellent ski transfers access and Les Arcs 1950 offering luxury accommodations. The Vanoise Express cable car connects Les Arcs to La Plagne, creating the massive Paradiski area. Each village level features hotel accommodations, restaurants, and direct access to the slopes, making it perfect for door to door convenience.

Les Arcs is positioned approximately 145km from Chambery airport CMF in the Tarentaise Valley of the French Alps, within the Savoie department. The resort sits proudly in the Paradiski area, facing the majestic Mont Blanc massif and surrounded by peaks including the famous Aiguille Rouge at 3,226 meters altitude.

The resort’s strategic location places it 136km from Chambery, making it one of the closest major ski resorts to this airport. This positioning provides excellent access to major transportation networks while maintaining the authentic Alpine environment that makes Les Arcs so special for winter holidays.

Les Arcs connects to the major highway network via the A40 motorway, with travelers exiting at Junction 2 for Albertville/Tarentaise. From there, the N90 road leads directly through the Tarentaine Valley to Bourg Saint Maurice, the valley town serving as the gateway to Les Arcs.

Alternatives to airport transfers

Regular shuttle bus services connect Chambery airport to Bourg Saint Maurice, where the funicular railway provides access to Les Arcs. While economical, this option requires multiple transfers and extends journey time significantly compared to direct airport transfer services.

Shuttle buses operate on fixed schedules, particularly during peak week periods and Saturday departures. The bus station in Bourg St Maurice provides connections to various resort levels, though this adds complexity to your journey.

The nearest train station at Bourg Saint Maurice offers direct TGV connections during winter season. Combined with airport shuttle services, this provides a cost-effective but time-consuming alternative to direct transfers. The city train station provides connections from various French cities.

Various shuttle services operate during peak season, offering scheduled departures from regional airports. These services balance cost and convenience but operate on fixed schedules with limited flexibility. Cool bus services and similar operators provide regular connections during peak periods.

Car hire facilities at Chambery airport provide independence for exploring the broader Alpine region. However, winter driving requires experience with mountain conditions, and parking in Les Arcs can be challenging during peak periods. Consider car hire if you plan to explore multiple resorts or stay for extended periods.

Traditional taxi services are available though typically more expensive than pre-booked transfers. Availability during peak season can be limited, and rates vary significantly based on demand and timing. Local taxis provide flexibility but may not offer the reliable service of pre-booked transfers.
