What’s New:

NEW VILLAROGER GONDOLA  - From December 2025, Villaroger will have a new high-performance gondola to replace Replat & Plan des Violettes chairlifts. The new lift will have forty 10-seat cabins taking skiers from Pré-derrière de Villaroger (1200 m) to the top of Plan des Violettes (2119m) in just 7 minutes, reducing travel time by approximately 10 mins.

A significant development for the ski area, allowing skiers to rediscover the Aiguille Rouge ski run, the longest ski run in Les Arcs and one of the most thrilling in Europe. It starts from the top of the Aiguille Rouge (3226m) and finishes in Villaroger (1200m): a descent of 7km and 2,000m drop from Le Varet glacier to the apple orchards in Villaroger. 

The 19 million euro investment for this project is being financed by the Domaine de Montagne (ski lift company).

NEW SPEED EDUCATION RUN  - A new run in Arc 1800 aimed at educating skiers about speed and inviting them to experiment with speed and control in a safe environment.
