Good aprs ski in Arc 1800, more limited in Arc 2000 but nevertheless chic and cheerful. Red Hot Saloon Bar with live music in 1800, Blue Bar for a lively, informal atmosphere and more live music in 2000. Discos include the Apocalypse in 1800 and the KL92 in Arc 2000.

Good choice in Arc 1800 - although fewer restaurants to chose from in Arc 1600 and 2000. Meat or cheese fondue for around 30 Euros including wine and dessert. Marloup for tasty fish dishes, Bellefume for grills, Red Rock Bar for great burgers. Try Gargantus in 1800 for regional dishes, St Jacques in Arc 2000 for French ambiance or the Triangle Noir for pizzas and local specialities or try Casa Mia.

Paragliding Floodlit skiing (1800 and 2000) Ice rink (1800 and 2000) Good shopping (particularly for buying ski equipment) in Bourg-St-Maurice and we enjoy the quaint French Saturday markets. There is also a public pool in this town or you could travel and visit the Beaufort dairy. The ice grotto is good at the top of the Transarc, which pedestrians can reach.

All resorts have ski schools for children from as young as 3 and a good selection of nurseries are offered. The children's area at 1800 has a moving carpet lifts, a sledging track and a climbing wall.
