Private transfer from Chambéry-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport to Les Arcs 1950,2000, Paradiski

Les Arcs sits above Bourg-Saint-Maurice and forms half of Paradiski, linked to La Plagne by the Vanoise Express double-decker cable car over the Ponturin valley. Arc 1950 is a purpose-built, car-free pedestrian village in a traditional style, popular with families who want ski-in ski-out apartments and shops a few steps from the door. Arc 2000, slightly higher, sits at the foot of the Aiguille Rouge and suits skiers chasing the highest, snow-sure runs and the long descent toward Villaroger. Both are winter-first resorts; summer brings mountain bikers and hikers using the Transarc and Cachette lifts. Beginners and intermediates tend to base lower at Arc 1600 or 1800.

The route leaves Chambéry airport on fast road toward Albertville, then follows the N90 dual carriageway up the Tarentaise valley past Moûtiers and Aime to Bourg-Saint-Maurice. This valley-floor stretch is the easy part and makes up most of the roughly 130 km. The climb begins at Bourg-Saint-Maurice, where the road switches back steeply up to Arc 1600, 1800, 2000 and the turning for Arc 1950. Expect tight hairpins and a noticeable gain in altitude in the final 20–30 minutes. In winter the upper sections carry snow and ice, so the last leg is slower than the distance suggests. Allow a little over two hours in good conditions.

Tell your driver the exact level — Arc 1950, Arc 2000, 1800 or 1600 — because they sit at different altitudes with separate access roads, and arriving at the wrong one means a further climb. Arc 1950 is pedestrian-only: vehicles stop at the covered drop-off and underground parking, and your residence will usually arrange a luggage service or electric cart from there. In winter carry boots and have ski gear accessible, as the final hairpins can be snow-covered even when the valley is clear. If you land late or in heavy snow, a private transfer avoids the gap left when the Bourg-Saint-Maurice funicular to Arc 1600 stops running. Confirm your accommodation's exact building name in advance.
