We had a couple of 3 hour lessons with PJ this week (2 adults + 3 kids, 8,10 and 12 yrs). The lessons were really great fun - pitched just right for us (improving our technique for parallel skiing, and we're all at different levels). Kids had loads of fun and we're all really please with how we've progressed. If you learning to ski with your family I'd highly reccomend PJ for some lessons! Great couple of days!

The progress our boys (9 and 11) made on their 2nd week of snowboarding was incredible. They have gone from side-slipping down blues at the end of their first week last year, to flying down reds and trying off-piste and black moguls at the end of their 2nd. We had our two boys do a morning of private tuition with Seb and five mornings with Annukka, and they loved every bit. They'll be sending the biggest booters in the park next year at this rate...! The company is friendly and well run. I couldn't recommend them enough.

Great to experience skiing on freshly pisted empty slopes, and the breakfast at L'Altiport is plentiful and fresh.

Rodeo Luge

Fly down paradise on a sledge. Sledge piste rodeo luge offers 3km of pure thrills on arc 2000.

Reviewed By DodgySkier

This is a brilliant run. You leave your skies at the top of the run and buy however many rides you want. The run ends at the next lift down so really easy to get back up on the chair lift. You can actually leave your skies at the lower lift if you don’t fancy the ski down. The run itself is steep enough in parts to get a real shimmy on with some sharp bends to test the nerves. There are the inevitable flatfish bits but not enough to feel as though you walked the run instead. We had 2 moments of walking a short distance. You can hire single or double ( side by side) sledges; the latter can take two adults and is a test of team coordination. It’s not expensive for the fun and well worth a visit if you need a bit of a rest from skiing and a good laugh instead

Reviewed By rrached - Sao Paulo, Brazil

Excellent for individual ou small groups classes. We were at club Med and the group classes they offer are regular. Kids group classes (specially for the little ones) aren’t good. A lot of kids crying and given up! But the private classes are really good! I learned with Harvey and my husband with Julian. Both amazing. For kids Clemence is very kind and speaks Portuguese.

We’ve just completed 6 days skiing in Les Arcs as a family of 4 with 2 children aged 10 & 13. This is our 4th ski holiday so we’re far from advanced but I’d say more intermediate skiers. We spent day 1 exploring the lower areas sticking to the blue runs to find our ski legs but after that we were exploring some red runs. We found a real difference in gradient, some red seemed much tamer than others and there were a few that we didn’t attempt. The whole area is very well sign posted and easy to move around in. Many of the pistes are nice and wide with opportunity for safe off piste skiing. It was Feb Half term so I can’t imagine it being any busier than this week but we still got around without too much queuing if your flexible on where you go. The Transarc & Villards lifts were always busy from the base station at Arc 1800 but we were staying to one side of the resort so headed up to midway where the queue was lighter and less pushy. A great snow park in the middle of the resort for the more adventurous, although the kids (inc dad) skied the ramps and I skied through without which was great. lots of picnic benches dotted around and the toilet facilities on the mountain were the best we’ve seen, they all seemed really new and hardly any queues. Plenty of places to eat, we mainly returned to our apartment for lunch but found a great spot in Arc 1950 at the side of the snow. Highly recommend the resort as a whole.

ESF Les Arcs 2000

Reviewed By MartineGui - Montreal, Canada

Had a great ski instructor from Esf, Benjamin, at Arc 2000. Great instructor, with exercises and constructive comments to improve your technique. He was also a very knowledgeable person to provide info of the site and its surroundings as well as the culture. Had a wonderful week at Arc Extreme Club Med and amazing skiing. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great ski instructor, coupled with an amazing scenery and ski domain. One of my most memorable ski vacations.
