New artificial lake to improve snowmaking facilities. Improvements to the Apocalypse Park for beginners & intermediate freestylers
Snowmaking improvements
Artificial lake of l’Adret des Tuffes, has been created to supply the whole Les Arcs and Peisey-Vallandry area with artificial snow. New ski tows have been set up on the Maitaz and Plan Bois ski runs, guaranteeing snow on the Arc 1800 - Peisey-Vallandry link.
The new snow plant built in the same area will replace 2 old units and will centralise the supply of water and air of the whole of the artificial network.
Terrain Park improvements
The Apocalypse Snowpark is still developing 2 new lines of modules for this winter. They
will primarily consist of tables and rails for beginners and intermediate
Hands-free lift pass
With the new Holiski «hands-free» pass, you can access the finest ski slopes without going to ticket offices! When you use this ‘liberty pass’, you are invoiced only for the skiing days used, and in addition, there are reductions and exclusive special offers.
Faithful to its reputation, the Les Arcs resort was one of the two pilot sites to test this new product last winter. It proved successful, and this winter, Holiski will be used in 10 major resorts of the Compagnie des Alpes group. Membership (32€) and information: www.holiski.com
