Les Arcs & Paradiski Lift Pass Options - Winter
| Lift Pass Options for Les Arcs & Paradiski - Winter |
|
With such varied terrain on your doorstep, it makes sense that there are a number of different lift passes available that you can tailor to the ability and preferences of your group. All passes work with a hands free ski card that is now available free of charge when you buy your lift pass. If you want to save yourself some time when you get here, you can also buy your lift pass on-line with the par@diski-carte. This card is issued with any on-line ski pass purchase and has your details listed on the back for future purchases, so keep it safe. |
| Paradiski or Les Arcs Lift Pass? |
Please Note: Unfortunately due to mechanical repairs on the Vanoise Express, the Paradiski pass is not available this year. The cable car is due to reopen on 20th December 2008.
Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry Pass
This is the local area pass that gives you unlimited access to all the lifts in the Les Arcs domain (including Peisey-Vallandry). 200kms of piste, 54 lifts and an altitude variation from 3226m to 1200m; if you are quite happy skiing at your own pace or perhaps have get back to meet your children from ski school for example, then this pass could be just what you’re after.
Paradiski Area
The Paradiski lift pass sings dances and can jump really high in the board park! If you like clocking up the miles and want to explore every inch of the available terrain then this is the only choice for you. Unlimited access to 425kms of piste, 144 lifts and 2 glaciers - anyone of an intermediate ski ability and upwards would undoubtedly get great enjoyment from this pass. As with the Decouverte ticket, you can also spend a day in one of the Espace Olympique areas.
Paradiski Decouverte
For a few euros more, you can upgrade your Les Arcs pass to the Paradiski Discovery ticket. This pass is valid for 6 - 8 day durations only and whilst it covers the same area as the Les Arcs pass, it also gives you one day skiing in the remainder of the Paradiski area. With this pass you are also entitled to ski for free for one day in one of the Espace Olympique domains: Espace Killy, 3 Valleys, Les Saisies or Pralognan La Vanoise. Restrictions may apply so be sure to ask at one of the cash desks before heading out of resort.
NB. Both the Paradiski and the Decouverte passes have 6 ˝ and 7 ˝ day options enabling you to ski on the day of arrival too!
There are also a number of other variations, making your lift pass more flexible to suit you:
Ski Points - a new introduction to the Les Arcs lift pass portfolio, the ski points system enables beginners to use the main lift in each of the following ski areas:
Arc 1600 - Chantel Chair
Arc 1800 - Combettes Chair
Arc 2000 - St. Jacques Chair
You can charge up your ski card with 2, 10 or 20 points at a time and each chairlift journey costs 2 points. Top Tip: These lifts are free on Saturdays and Sundays
4 hour ski pass - does exactly what it says on the tin and is valid for 4 consecutive hours giving you access to all the lifts in 1600, 1800 (inc. funicular), 2000 and Villaroger with the exception of Transarc 1 & 2, Aiguille Rouge, Grand Col and the Varet chairlift. If you like to ski as and when you please but are not fussed about being out all day then this is an ideal choice. Your 4 hours begin from when you take your first lift so make sure you leave enough time to get back to where you’re staying!
1 day pass - Buy your lift pass a day at a time if you don’t feel like skiing every day. |
