Fine Cuisine at Chalet Macchu Picchu
Includes a skiers' buffet breakfast to start your day, afternoon tea to welcome you 'home', and 4- or 5-course evening meals with wine and coffee to complete the evening six days a week.
For six days of the week the staff prepare all your meals for you as described. The majority of parents feel that young children can inhibit the dinner-party atmosphere at evening meals, especially if they are over-tired, so children under 13 years are served High Tea at around 5.30pm. They are not then permitted to join adult dinner, as they are generally happier either getting some rest ready for tomorrow’s adventures, or if 6 years old or more, joining our child care staff in Cocoa Club.
Family Dining Chalets
For those families who prefer to eat together with their younger children, we offer our Family Dining option in selected chalet of up to 12 beds, if you book the whole chalet for your own party, subject to chalet suitability. Everyone then eats together in the evening, starting at 6.30-7.00pm. The meals are based on our adult menus, with some flexibility for younger taste buds, although not a complete ‘à la carte’ choice! The additional charge for changing meals to Family Dining is £39 per child.
On their one day off per week, your host in chalets will prepare a Continental-style breakfast which will be left for you to help yourselves. That evening, you and your family then have the chance to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants, which your Reps will be happy to help you arrange.
Breakfast
A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a cooked breakfast including your choice of bacon, eggs, sausages and beans, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff’s one day off a week, only the continental breakfast will be provided.
Piste Picnics
Our Chalet Hotel teams can also prepare a packed lunch for you on request, at a small local charge. For those keen to keep their Eurospending to an absolute minimum, this is the ideal way to keep your costs down!
Afternoon Tea
The traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet, ready for your return, every day except the team’s one day off each week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake – different every day!
Children’s High Tea
High Tea provides children under 13 with a healthy menu, but tailored more towards children’s tastes than our main adult dinner, and puréed food is also always available for infants on request. Parents are asked to accompany their children under 36 months at High Tea please, whilst children from 3-12 years will be supervised by the staff.
Adult Dinner in Chalets
Four-course dinners for adults (and children 13 and over only) start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert. The meal is accompanied by a choice of wines, unlimited during the meal service, with freshly chilled water also always available, and followed by complimentary coffee or tea with chocolates to round off your evening.
Special Diets
Vegetarian options are always on our ‘Culinary Choice’ menu in our Chalet Hotels, and are available in our chalets if you advise us in advance. Other special diets can generally be catered for at a cost of £35 per person per week. Any dietary requirements must be advised to us at the time of booking in order for us to be fully prepared.

There are nursery slopes in all the four ski areas in Les Arcs. Les Arcs 1800 offers the sunniest and widest ski runs, and Arc 2000 has snow sure gentle runs from the Col de la Chal. Arc 1600 and Peisey Vallandry offer plenty of tree lined skiing.
Due to the enormous size of the Paradiski area, there are plenty of intermediate skiing opportunities on offer. There are some great tree-lined routes from Arc 2000 to Peisey Vallandry that are a must experience for any skier.
For expert skiers there are some fantastic black slopes from the Aiguille Rouge (3226 m), including the 7km long black that runs to Villaroger, perfect to get the adrenalin pumping.
Snowboarding was popularized in France by local ski instructor Regis Rolland with his Apocalypse snow series of films and Les Arcs is often regarded by some as the home of European snowboarding. There is a large terrain park perfect for learning new skills or practicing old ones. Les Arcs offers chalets and many apartments that are ideal for a snowboarding holiday.
There are plenty of off-piste routes from the back of the Aiguille rouge down to Villaroger or down the back of the Bellecote glacier in La Plagne to the Nancroix Valley, just below Plan Peisey, although guides are recommended.

Although it has a large dance floor get in early as it can get busy quickly.

The Ambiente Bar has a more French feel, serving cocktails, beer and has a lively but equally great chilled out feel. For the night owls, Apokalypse club in 1800 is open till 4 am.
Arc 1950 has a sophisticated feel and has a good choice of bars popular choices include La Belle Pinte, which is a large Irish pub. There is also a nightclub known as Le Club 1950 that is the perfect place to go with friends after the bars have closed.
Arc 1950 is situated just below Arc 2000 and is linked by a late-night cable car or it is possible to walk between the two resorts in about 10 minutes. Up in Arc 2000, there are more bars and nightclubs on offer.
