Arc 1800

Arc 1800 is a self-catered chalet in Les Arcs, sleeping 10 in 5 bedrooms. The nearest lift, Vagere Ski Lift, is about 640m away, so plan on a bus or a drive to the snow each morning. It has a hot tub and a fireplace. In the last week of December the afternoons are short and everybody comes in cold, which is when a hot tub stops being a luxury and starts being the best thing in the resort. Beds: 2 large doubles, 2 doubles and 2 singles, with 3 bathrooms.

Les Arcs scores 65 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 1600m. That is among the more dependable places to be skiing in Christmas week.

Sleeping 10, it suits a large family Christmas or two families travelling together. It lists family facilities such as a high chair or family rooms, which is the detail that decides it for anyone travelling with small children. It is self-catered, so you cook — including on the 25th. That suits groups who want to eat on their own schedule.

It is not ski-to-door, so factor in getting to the lifts each morning. Resort supermarkets keep short and unpredictable hours over Christmas and many close entirely on the 25th. Order ahead or shop on arrival. Pets are not allowed. Check the bed layout and what is included (linen, towels, final cleaning) on Booking.com before you book — Christmas week is often sold as a fixed seven nights.
