Résidence Les Arolles  

In the heart of the French Alps there is much to be discovered in the region surrounding the Résidence les Arolles. The apartments are just minutes from the pretty town of Les Arcs and its many shops, restaurants and bars, and the Tarentaise Valley in western France provides much to be discovered, with some excellent trails for keen hikers and cyclists alike.

There is no better place to come back to after a long day spent enjoying the snowy mountainous scenery and crisp, Alpine air than these warm and cosy, classically designed cottages.

Every apartment in the Résidence has been built in the traditional Savoyard style with exposed wood interiors and provides unbeatable views of Mont Blanc. Despite its rustic appearance, Résidence Les Arolles is tailored to suit modern tourists and has an array of first rate facilities on offer. This includes a heated indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and a well-equipped gym. Guests can also make use of the kitchens in the apartments, which come with an electric hob, fridge-freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster and a coffee machine.

All of the apartments at Résidence Les Arolles are self-catered, with modern kitchens, for guests who like to cook their own meals. It is easy to keep the cupboards fully stocked throughout your stay, as the resort’s shops are just 10 metres from the apartments. Alternatively, there is a selection of restaurants to choose from in the Les Arcs resort. These eateries serve a range of food, from classic French cuisine to international options such as pasta and pizza and there is also an on-site pub and a snack bar at the Résidence for light lunches between activities.

Its snow covered mountains make Les Arcs a well-known winter holiday destination. However, it has just as much to offer visitors during the summer months. During this time, the landscape becomes rural and peaceful, with luscious green hills replacing the white, snowy slopes. Holidays to Les Arcs go hand in hand with sporting activities and the resort has a whole new range of exciting games and adventures for guests to try.

Further details about visiting Les Arcs during summer can be found on our summer destination page.

In the summer, the trees come out in full bloom, which means keen adventurers of all ages can enjoy taking to the canopies at the Adventure Park with tree top exploration. Another big hit with summer visitors is canoeing. Led by a fully qualified professional, groups of four to five boats take to the white waters of Les Arcs for this adrenaline inducing activity. Equally exhilarating ways to get to know the Alps landscape in the summertime include mountaineering, trekking, cliff climbing, canyon exploring, mountain biking and glacier walks.

Les Arcs also provides plenty of opportunities for less heart racing activities, for holidaymakers who want to make the most of the culture and art in this historic region. In nearby Bourg St Maurice there is the Maison de La Pomme, which is a museum focused on the area’s tradition of apple pressing and comes complete with workshops, apple pressing activities and a working mill to view. Also in Bourg St Maurice is the Minerals and Fauna Museum. This gallery showcases the beautiful minerals, such as crystals and precious gems found in the French Alps, along with examples of the exotic wildlife that make their home here.
