Duplex Apartment in Arc 1800, Savoie, 40m2, ski in/out

I practical layout for 2 adults and 2 children. All the equipment we needed for cooking. Some modern touches like an induction stove and good quality shower. The apartment is on floor 2 and we usually took the lift up to floor 4 to exit by the Charmettoger lift where we'd either take that lift up, or walk a short way up the hill to ski down to Transarc.Communication with the property owner was excellent with us being sent an information pack a few weeks ahead and also being warned of potential traffic issues on the N90. That's really appreciated.There was only one set of keys in the apartment but we were able to request a second set from the Mountain Collection concierge a day after contacting the owner. It might be good if there was a second set always available (like had been in an apartment we stayed in a previous year), as sometimes different family members want to finish the day at different times and it's not even possible to get to the apartment without a key, due to the need to use a fob to operate the lift.Another minor comment would be the lack of basic household essentials such as washing up sponges, dishwasher tablets (there was one) and hand soap. It's not a problem to buy these from the Sherpa in the village but it was a waste to have to buy 30 dishwasher tablets when we just needed 5 or 6, or two bottles of hand soap for the two toilets etc. I hope what we left remained in the apartment for the next guests to use.Overall a great apartment & recommended!

The host was very responsive when we had questions and we had a wonderful stay at the condo. The location was perfect for skiing, truly ski in- ski out. The apartment accommodated our family of four nicely and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots & pans, etc. We did order the linen service for bedding and it was a nice linen package and the quality of linens were nice. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

We are a family of 4 who had a great Half term in Les Arcs 1800, Martin answered my many questions very promptly. The apartment is very spacious, well furnished, well equipped for self catering warm and cosy in a very peaceful location with great views over the valley. There is covered parking opposite the apartment which is so convenient when unloading the car. The Charmettoger chair lift is directly outside the exit at level 4 where you can ski back to at the end of the day. Ski hire is in the same building at ground level with very friendly staff, there is a bakery and Pizzeria in the adjacent building 30 meters from the apartment exit, pastries, Baguettes and Pizzas are freshly made and superb, again with very friendly staff. Bars, restaurants and supermarkets are just over a 5 minute walk, the Sherpa supermarket is more expensive than other resorts we’ve stayed in so would suggest buying wine and beers on route. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the apartment and will return next year.

We arrived in Les Arcs 1800 already early Saturday morning. Based on the information of the owner of the apartment and the information we received entering Les Arcs we drove straight to the parking garage opposite the Aiguille Grive III building. We parked our car in the garage since the weather forecast predicted a lot of snow (yes, the forecast was right 😉). From the apartment it’s a 10 minute walk to the centre were the rental agency, ski pass office, and a lot of shops, including a supermarket are located. We bought 6 day ski passes for the Paradiski area. As a bonus you can start skiing Saturday at 12:30. At the end of the afternoon we collected the keys of the apartment and carried our luggage from the parking lot to the apartment. The apartment was well cleaned and modern decorated. The pictures on the HomeAway website give a good impression. Almost all you need is available in the apartment. There is TV, but only with French channels (for us no problem, we could do without). The owner already informed us that there was no WiFi in the apartment. The rental agency offered a perfect solution; a WiFi travel box which gives internet access for up to ten devices. The location of the apartment is perfect. It’s located at the second floor of the building close to the elevator. At the start of a skiing day the elevator brings you to the fourth floor which gives access to the Charmettoger ski lift. At the end of this lift you can enter the second stage of the Transarc cable car which gives access to all the Les Arcs pistes. You can also ski directly to the Vanoise Express cable car which brings you to the La Plagne ski area in a few minutes. At the ground level of the building a few shops are located. We bought our bread in the small bakery / grocery / pizzeria. There is also a ski rental shop. Concluding; we certainly advice the apartment. It’s without doubt one of the best apartments we rented for a skiing holiday the last years and a perfect place to start your visit to the Paradiski area.
