Spring Season at Les Arcs

Spring in Les Arcs is a dynamic season, a time of transition marked by lingering snow and the awakening of alpine flora at lower altitudes. It's often characterized by 'spring skiing,' where mornings offer firm, fast pistes that soften into delightful 'slush' or 'corn snow' by the afternoon, perfect for cruising in milder temperatures and longer daylight hours. The higher parts of the domain, especially around Arc 2000 and Aiguille Rouge, often remain open well into April, providing excellent late-season snow conditions and fewer crowds. As the snowline recedes, the lower trails begin to emerge, making it possible to combine skiing with early-season hiking or mountain biking on south-facing slopes. The valleys burst into bloom with wildflowers, and the sun feels particularly warm. It's a wonderful time to enjoy the best of both winter and summer activities, often with attractive off-peak pricing and a more relaxed resort atmosphere.
