A NEW ERA FOR TRANSARC

The Les Arcs / Peisey-Vallandry Mountain Resort sees the revival of the iconic connection between Arc 1800 and the summits this winter. The transformation of Transarc, which began in December 2023, is now complete, offering a renewed and improved experience for visitors.

REIMAGINED AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE CABINS

The new Transarc, a complete transformation :

• Larger cabins : 10 seats, enhancing passenger comfort.
• Accelerated ascent : journey time reduced by half (summit access in 13 minutes instead of 20 minutes).
• Energy efficiency : the new installations are designed for lower electricity consumption, meeting current ecological standards.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS SPACES TO AMAZE VISITORS

The mountain resort aims to offer a variety of altitude experiences to visitors while ensuring that the emotions and knowledge they provide contribute to raising awareness of the environment. The awareness spaces are designed to inform and inspire our guests to be more conscious visitors.

THE MINI TRAIL: DISCOVERING THE WORLD OF SMALL CREATURES

NEW: THE MINI TRAIL

This winter, visitors and skiers will be delighted to discover an exciting new feature on the famous "Cabanes" slope. It now has a new name: the Mini Trail. Upon arriving at the top of the Villards gondola, young skiers and nature enthusiasts will be immersed in the fascinating world of small creatures. They will be able to explore the superpowers of insects, such as discovering the dragonfly’s ability to fly backwards or the ant’s impressive strength, capable of lifting up to 50 times its weight.

Although the green slope layout remains unchanged, new interactive features will be installed to offer a fun and educational experience, showcasing the amazing abilities of these tiny creatures around us. A fascinating adventure awaits on the Mini Trail!

MEETING THE MICROFAUNA

Along the trail, both children and adults can ski past various insects and even a giant ant. Cabins are placed along the route, providing a fun break for visitors.

This route highlights a selection of species representative of the different natural mountain habitats. By exploring the lives of insects, butterflies, and arachnids, visitors will discover the rich biodiversity of the mountains beyond the well-known larger animals. This playful approach helps to understand the importance of conservation and protection of this precious ecosystem.

3 PROGRESSIVE SKI ROUTES

The ski resort offers three safe and beginner-friendly progressive routes, marked with green banners. These routes, spread across Arc 1800, Arc 2000, and Peisey-Vallandry, allow skiers to improve step by step while following a gradual progression.

THE GIANTS OF MALGOVERT, THE FOREST PROTECTORS

The forest holds fascinating secrets, revealed through the twists of the Mont-Blanc slope (Arc 1600). Inspired by the richness of the forest habitat, a new awareness space features the three great wooden giants that stand in the playground. Whether in winter or summer, explorers are invited to discover the many facets of this fascinating ecosystem and to become a forest protector, aware of the vital importance of forests and the creatures that live within them.

THE MOUNTAIN ANIMAL MUSEUM

Featuring over 30 species, this unique exhibition space, with free access, is an invitation to discover the animals and flora of our mountains while raising awareness of their protection. Designed and created in close collaboration with the Vanoise National Park, this museum is also a place for educational encounters with experts from the Park.

THE VARET GLACIER EXHIBITION

At the summit of the Varet cable car, a new space has been unveiled dedicated to raising awareness about glaciers. A place to learn more about the glacier that bears this name and to awaken skiers to the glaciers that surround them. An exhibition to become aware of the evolution of the Varet glacier over time and the challenges linked to its existence. This installation blends with the architecture of the location and the natural environment, inviting a pause. A suspended moment aimed at educating, inspiring, and encouraging reflection on our shared responsibility towards nature.
