Welcome to Les Arcs

An exceptional ski resort in the heart of the Alps


The festival didn’t choose Les Arcs resort at random. The ski resort offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the most beautiful peaks in Savoie and the Mont Blanc.

The "Paradiski" skiing area (Les Arcs, La Plagne, Peisey-Vallandry) is one of the most beautiful ones in the world. Its more than 450 km ski runs offer new slide installations (snowparks, boardercrosses, half-pipes…) and a sophisticated artificial snow system which guarantees skiable runs at the beginning of the winter season.

Les Arcs are located at the edge of the Parc de la Vanoise which constitutes, along with the Parc du Grand Paradis, the largest protected natural area in Europe.

The ski resort offers 5 exceptional sites located at different altitudes with a total reception capacity of 30,000 people.

Film screenings at all altitudes

The film screenings are scheduled in the 6 auditoriums of the resort located at Arc 1800, Arc 1600 and Bourg Saint Maurice.
