Radical slalom or skiing of a more vintage inspiration, whatever your type of snow sport, in Arc 2000, it has found a playground of note! The cradle of new skiing disciplines, the resort invites you to discover speed riding or the yooner.
The Arcs ski area invites ski aficianados to take advantage of a mountain area that is not only immense but also amazing by its variety! Situated in the bosom of the French Alps, Paradiski wears its name well : it is a perfect space for those passionate about sensations and vertiginous descents, along with the mountain lovers who want nothing more than traversing a nature preserve that is in constant renewal… The ski area culminates on the glaciers at close to 10,000 feet and around 70% of the slopes rise above 6500 feet altitude with no less than 275 miles of slopes and trails at riders' disposal.
But the Arcs mountain area also allows you to ski differently, to let go of the skis for just a moment and to be surprised by new activities, other disciplines that are always a bit sexier … At the base of the Aiguille Rouge mountain, the culmination of the skiing resort, Les Arcs 2000 is the ultimate destination for pleasure seekers, the place where original types of sliding develop in total freedom. Speed skiing, freeride, speed riding, jeering… lovers of strange and unknown experiences will be overjoyed. For example, speed riding combines ski and wind sailing to move between sliding and flying in the mountains! Towed by a small sail, one can fly to jump over an obstacle and to lift off to ski areas not easily accessible… Skilled skiers will be able to engage in this activity in Arc 2000. For something different again, it is also possible to glide with the yooner, a sort of micro sled composed of an ergonomic seat mounted on a single, short ski. The machine is equipped with shock absorbers and is guided by way of a small handle : in a few minutes, the yooner is easily mastered so you can begin to have fun!
