Arc 1950 Apartment with Mountain View, Balcony and direct Access to the Slopes

Rustic Alpine-Style Apartment for up to 6 People

Village (Arc 1950):
ARC 1950, the ski village where the residence is located, was built from 2004 by the Canadian entrepreneur "Intrawest" who specialized in luxury ski condos in exclusive winter resorts like Whistler and Mont-Trembling. The traditional rustic design of ARC 1950, a mix of rock walls and wooden beams, typical of French Savoy, surprises the visitor who might remember monotonous concrete blocks in old French ski areas of the 70s. The atmosphere of a romantic village with its cobbled streets, its old lamp posts, its colourful facades with wooden balconies is completely pedestrianized and transfers the guests into the charming flair of the good old days when children could play safely in the streets.
Ski sport shops, bars, restaurants, a traditional French bakery and a small supermarket can be reached on foot in only a few minutes. In addition, the village offers ski rental, ski ticket office, ski schools and nursery nearby. There is free access to an indoor heated swimming-pool. For adults, a modern spa offers a heated pool, massages, facials, manicure and pedicure (www.deepnature.fr).
Underneath the residential buildings there is an underground car park where you can leave your car safely (parking fees approx. 119 € per week). From there, you have direct walking access to the residence building.

Our Residence "Refuge du Montagnard":
The ski village consists of 8 buildings with different decors. Our apartment is part of "Refuge du Montagnard". In the basement of this building there is a sauna, hammam (steam bath) and an outdoor jacuzzi, all are reserved for the exclusive use of the residents of this building. There is also a heated ski locker room with two lockers for our apartment. From there you have direct access to the ski slopes with two large modern chair lifts (ski-in, ski-out) to the Les Arcs skiing area.

Ski Slopes:
Arc 1950 is located in the ski area of Les Arcs, which consists of the ski areas Arc 1600, Arc 1800, Arc 2000 and Peisey / Vallandry. Since 2003 an express cable car with a capacity of 100 people connects "Les Arcs" and "La Plagne" and offers a ski area called "Paradiski" with more than 420 kilometers of pistes.

Description and Equipment of the Apartment:
The apartment consists of a kitchenette, dining area and living room and an open balcony.
It is fully equipped with a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, ceramic hob with four zones, microwave with grill function, filter coffee maker and Nespresso machine, toaster and kettle. The dining area consists of an oval solid wooden table with 7 chairs and a rustic sideboard.
The living room area consists of a sofa bed, an armchair with a foot rest and a coffee table, a sideboard for your groceries etc. On a further sideboard there is a television (with English, French and German channels) and free WiFi.
A door connects the apartment to the balcony which is open and offers a magnificent view to the mountain forest and the jacuzzi belonging to the residence.
On the left side of the living room, a door leads to the master bedroom containing a queen size bed, built-in wardrobe and a large mirror. The adjoining bathroom includes a bath tub with a shower and a glass partition, a marble vanity with sink and a large mirror, a built-in hairdryer, a heated towel rail and a WC.
On the other side of the living room is a small hallway leading to the second double bedroom with 2 single beds, 2 built-in wardrobes and a safe. It also leads to a 2nd bathroom with a shower cubicle, marble vanity with sink and large mirror, heated towel rail and a separate second WC.

NY family break
Lovely property, just what we expected. Two bedrooms and a sofa bed, good sized living room. Kitchen with enough equipment to keep us going eating in 5 nights out of 7. Very quiet flat (compared to others in 1950) was a huge advantage. All in all a lovely stay which we would happily repeat and recommend. Thanks to Maria for quick and good comms too.

Great location, comfortable apartment
My family and so stayed at Maria’s apartment and had a great week of skiing. The apartment is very conveniently located in the village, and we enjoyed going to the restaurants, bakery and supermarket on foot. The apartment is comfortable, though somewhat dated. The kitchen is super tiny, so you won’t be able to cook too much but it’s enough for simple meals. The only drawback for us was the locker access with our little children, they have to ski down to access it through the slope. Perfect for other skiers though.

Great apartment in a great resort
Maria's apartment was perfect, well equipped, peaceful, great views, great location with ski-in ski-out, good wifi connections (important for the teens!). The new checking in process was straightforward, you can now use your phone to unlock the doors but also there are key cards and bracelets if tech isn't your thing. 1950 is the perfect family friendly resort, plenty of restaurants, cafes, bars and a supermarket, also a lovely patisserie and various shops, all within a couple of minutes walk. We didn't make use of the outdoor hot tub close to us, but the kids used the pool a couple of times. Maria was a great host; she made sure that everything was perfect for us. We hope to return again one day!

Perfect Ski Apartment Lovely Resort
We traveled with another couple of friends, and this apartment was prefect as we both had our own bathroom and plenty of room in the main apartment. The kitchen was compact but my friend and I managed it well catering all but two nights, there was a lovely big fridge and a good selection of equipment. Would have loved an oven but we knew there was just a microwave with a grill function. We bought a fondue and borrowed a fondue set from the shop in town which was delicious after a few worrying moments when the cheese refused to melt. The building is easily accessed and you park almost at the apartment which was great for ferrying stuff in. There is also a free to use laundry room on each floor, which although we had not planned to use, were really glad of as it was wet on the Sunday and we would never have got everything dry without it . The Jacuzzi was closed for most of our stay but we used the sauna and steam room once and the area was lovely. The locker room had direct access to the slopes and was fine, but bring a torch and glasses as its really dull lighting and little numbers on the padlocks, which us wrinklies found a challenge!! We had a great weeks skiing with just the wet day Sunday, but fresh snow Monday gave great off piste skiing and lovely blue skies from Tuesday onwards. We explored the whole resort including paying for a day over at La Plange which was a good experience. the winds eventually dropped enough for Aiguille Rouge to open, it was a bit of a scrum to the top with a 45m wait but worth it. Missed the connecting lift to get back a couple of times (once as it was closed due to high winds). They were swift to close lifts, but we found the ski bus links from 1600 and 1800 OK although a little crowded. Its a lovely resort with something for everyone, we though 1850 was the best spot to be in and for a purpose built place it was actually very pretty especially at night. Maria was brilliant throughout, with good communication and answering all our questions with patience and understanding. Check out was simple and the accommodation staff very helpful allowing us to use the spa area to change as we wanted to ski all of the final Saturday before setting off. We will return one day and Marias place will be our destination.

Superb apartment in perfect location
Myself, my husband and our twin daughters aged 22 stayed for a week in this lovely apartment which has all you need and is in the perfect location for ski in, ski out as well as all the village facilities. We arrived on March 30th and had a week of sunshine, blue sky, then a few clouds, a full day and night of heavy snow and then sunshine to finish off. There was so much snow for quite late in the season so we were lucky as the conditions for skiing were fantastic. The apartment itself is spacious and having the two bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a living area with TV and small kitchen was excellent. Everything was spotlessly clean when we arrived and there was a bath, shower and unlimited hot water to ease our tired bodies after a full day of skiing. The village of 1950 is stunning, so pretty with a handful of restaurants and bars, plus a handy supermarket which as well as all the essentials, provides hot cooked chickens, noodles, and other meals which you can buy and take back to the apartment to eat. We ate out 3 nights out of our 6 - eating at Luigi's which is diagonally opposite to the entrance of the Refuge de Montagnard twice and also at Hemmingway's which is right opposite the Refuge de Montagnard entrance. Both were very good food but quite expensive, as you have to expect in a lovely village in the mountains. Stopping for drinks on the slopes was also pricey but it is what it is and we just had to limit ourselves to 2 stops a day - sometimes taking out ready made baguettes with us after a hearty home-made breakfast. Another bonus of the apartment is the outside hottub, indoor sauna andCa steam rooms which you can use as many times as you want for free. There were no robes in our apartment so we asked at reception and were handed 3 robes to use while we were there. The staff were all very helpful and the corridors, spa area and lifts were kept in a clean, tidy condition. All in all a wonderful holiday, would definitely visit this apartment again. The only thing I can find to mention is that there could have been a few more mugs for tea and coffee, but other than that, can't really fault it.

Amazing ski vacation, ski in-ski out, very cozy and comfortable apartment as advertised
The apartment was awesome, very clean, very cozy and comfortable as advertised, good wifi and with all the necessary. Perfect size for 4 people. The ski in - ski out was amazing with the ski lockers attached to a slope and only 50m from one of the main ski lifts. Walking village with bakery, supermarket, shops and restaurants right outside the apartment. We only missed a bathrobe for each one of us to use the spa facilities apre ski, they were provided for other apartments but not with this one, we had to request them at an extra cost and they were unfortunately delivered 2 days before our departure so we missed the spa almost during all our stay. Overall was an amazing experience totally recommended and we will repeat for sure.

Fantastic apartment in an ideal ski in/out location
We stayed over the Christmas week in this lovely apartment. Well equipped with everything you could need, we ate out at lunch times so didn't use the kitchen a lot but there is a hob and microwave (no oven). We used the pool facilities which were a great addition. The location is fantastic and everything you could need is on hand. Communication with Maria the owner prior to the trip was great and any questions asked were replied to promptly. We had an amazing time here and look forward to returning again.

A Little Gem!
I have skied in this area for ten years and I love it. Usually there is a group of 8 to 10 and we hire a Chalet but for a variety of reasons our party was only four strong and we chose an apartment in Les Arc 1950. We love everything about the little town (accept the prices in the shops). This apartment was absolutely ideal. Very well positioned with amazing views across the slopes. The apartment had everything we needed (except we would have loved a DVD player!) and was clean and well laid out. Nothing is faraway, shops, restaurants and bars and of course the pistes are outside the boot room door. I also have to compliment Maria on her communication it made my life as the organiser of the trip so much easier. Thank you. If there are four of us next year..... we will be back!
