Arcs 1800, 2 chambres, 5 personnes, près des pistes, balcon avec vue Mont-blanc

At the quieter end of Les Arcs 1800 but still only a 10 min walk into town. Apartment is a good size, has all you might need with good hanging space. Bathroom could do with a refurb; the shower is a hand held affair which not ideal.Plenty of room to sit, eat, play cards. Kitchen is small but functional. The only way to get air into the apartment is by leaving the balcony door open, no independent windows to the upstairs bedrooms. Lower floor is fine but upstairs is limited, anyone over 185 cms is going to have to bend their heads to move around. Staircase is also narrow.Charmettoger, the nearest lift involves a 10 minute climb up a snowy or icy slope. It's a pity there aren't steps. Skiing back is also for the confident, but it's an easy enough walk back to the building from the same spot.Generally this area has good access if you want to head across to La Plagne or use the Transarc lift to get to the higher areas above 1950. You can also ski back to close to the apartment directly from the Folie Douce.We had a major problem getting access to the apartment out of hours. I think the problem is unlikely to repeat itself, but best if you can arrive whilst the concierge service is still open. Linen service was excellent.We were just 3 and that's ideal, but it will accommodate 5 if you're ok with cosy.

The apartment is well equipped. Everything needed to cook meals, make coffee, wash was present. The layout of the apartment was perfect - as the beds are upstairs, children can sleep upstairs and parents do not have to worry about disturbing them. The location of the building is ideal for skiing. The main lift is a 5 minute walk. You can ski directly to the entrance of the building when you return. There are two ski rental outlets in the building. There is bakery/restaurant/off-license in the back which has almost everything needed. We had a really nice ski break!
