Arc 1950 is turning twenty

Arc 1950 sits at the heart of Paradiski, in the French Alps and is one of the largest and highest mountain resorts in Europe.
Opening on 16th December 2023, Arc 1950 is turning 20 this season.
Architecture in Arc 1950 takes on the traditional alpine style of the Savoie region, combined with ultra-modern convenience. Originally designed by Eldon Beck from across the Atlantic, the first stone was laid in 2002 and this village, strategically planned to be a cosy and practical village, offers incredible views of Mont Blanc.
Ski directly through the heart of snow sure Arc 1950, with a host of quality, ski-in, ski-out accommodation across eight 5* residences. The slope running through the village from north to south is named the slope of fame, paying homage to celebrities who have attended the annual“Les Arcs Film Festival.”
To celebrate the 20th anniversary, there are a selection of key events throughout the season:
ALPINE HIGHS MOVIE NIGHT
Les Arcs Film Festival will kick off opening celebrations on 16th December, combining quality winter sports on first snow, exclusive preview screenings of new films and impromptu meetings with actors and celebrities in Arc 1950.
