What Christmas is like in each
Christmas in La Rosière
Small-scale and family-focused. The resort's Magie de Noël programme brings decorations, children's activities and the arrival of Father Christmas, and the ESF's weekly torchlit descent and instructor show falls on a Monday evening in Christmas week. Evenings are quiet.
Christmas in Les Arcs
Varies by village. Arc 1950 is purpose-built to look traditional and does it well, with a pedestrian square that comes into its own at Christmas. Arc 1800 is livelier and more functional. None of them has the depth of a real Alpine village, but 1950 comes closest.
