The lifts in Les Arcs welcomed the first skiers and snowboarders of the 2019/20 season last Saturday, December 14th.

Snow has been falling since the start of November, and the week just before the opening weekend saw almost non-stop snowfall, making conditions great for those lucky enough to be enjoying the Les Arcs slopes. With around 50cm of snow in Arc 1600 and almost 2 metres at the top of the Aiguille Rouge, this season is off to a great start.

The forecast for the week is for fair weather, perfect to enjoy the heaps of snow.
