Les Arcs 1800 Ski in Ski out Holiday Apartment, Bourg-St-Maurice, French Alps Reviews

The apartment was brilliantly well appointed and equipped. So warm and clean. The layout was so well planned, there was room for all the ski gear and places to dry socks,boots ect. There was easily enough room for 6 adults to chill out in the evening and a lovely dinner table. We all had the best time and will hopefully return one day.

This was our first trip to the Alps in the summer months and this apartment in Les Arcs is superb, easily accommodating the 5 of us with space for sleeping another 3 people, although seating around the dining table would be a squeeze with 8; there was ample storage space. In the summer you can park right outside. If you park lower down there are two lifts to all floors. Although this is approx. a 10 minute walk into the town this was not a problem, the town has a number of bars, restaurants and shops open in the summer. There is a deli and pizza shop serving the loveliest croissants each morning. The view of the mountains from the balconies are beautiful and there are two benches and a table on the balcony for enjoying the evening sun and views. There is a free shuttle bus stop opposite to take you to Arc 1600 (Funicular for Bourg), 1950 and 2000 so no need for a car if not driving. During the summer there were two lifts which take you to the mountains for breath-taking views and many walks. 1800 has a host of activities during the summer, a lovely swimming pool and wellness centre only a short walk away. Some lovely lakes are just a short drive away. Having visited all of the Les Arc resorts, 1800 had the most things to do and most shops, restaurants and bars.

The apartment had everything we needed (apart from a measuring jug which after mentioning to Sharon, the owner, she has now purchased which was an excellent response). We ate in several nights and dishes were available of all sizes for cooking. Sharon was very helpful during the booking process, always available if we had questions, and was there on arrival to show us everything which was reassuring. Sharon promptly responded after we had left confirming the return of the deposit and rectified the lack of a jug very quickly. The downstairs toilet was a useful 2nd in the apartment and there was always a good supply of hot water throughout the day. When cooking the provision of a dishwasher (and dishwasher tablets) was very useful and also supplied were bin bags, washing up liquid etc .

We will certainly be back again in the Summer and have already booked with Sharon and here again for December where we will enjoy the brilliant benefit of ski in and ski out only 10 meters from the apartment door – no walking far in boots carrying skis. We are looking forward to our next stay here.

We had a very comfortable stay at Sharon's apartment. All as described with the location to the Charmetogger Lift being the biggest asset of the holiday. A few lazy steps out in the morning and you're there. Fab little ski run back at the end of the day too with plenty of little off piste jumps to play around on (in the woods too!). Then drop off your ski gear and either pop into town (5 - 10 min walk) to enjoy some Apres Ski in the sunshine around Benji's or chill in the sunny apartment. L'Arpette bar on said run provided entertainment for our daughters at the end of the day! We were blessed with gorgeous weather most days - which made a great week of skiing with plenty of touring across to La Plagne and a great variety of runs in Les Arcs all so accessible from here.Bit more snow now in order - would be perfect for the late season. The apartment had all we needed (we didn't cook in too much - as ate lunch in the mountains and generally snacked in eve or headed out a couple of times in Charvet and Villiards for fab Savoyarde style dinners. La Cabane des Neiges was lovely and needed booking ahead. The apartment is very light and you can see the morning sun shine across the valley then onto the Charmetogger lift - letting you know it's time to get ready! Lift opens at 9/9.15. The beds were comfy enough and we found the apartment perfect for 4 - especially in the evenings. As said 6 would be ok too, but 8 very cosy. If room another relaxing chair or if sofa bed had ends/arms would be perfect!

Sharon was there to meet us and told us all we needed to know. Her communication and help before our visit was excellent and we arrived ready with Ski Passes, ski hire booked etc so as soon as we arrived we only had to collect skis. (We used Skiset at Agrille Grive 2 - think we were unlucky with the service as we had trouble trying to communicate an issue with the lack of inner soles in a set of ski boots. The ski gear was ok - can always be better - but guess buying your own does that. Location for collection and return ideal. Might try the one underneath Grive 3 if visiting again). Sharons discount membership was a good saving too.

We ordered ski passes before leaving UK - which can be posted if ordered 2 weeks before or collect at Bourg St. Maurice funicular station to get free trip up the mountain. Where possible use Sharon's discount cards/info - family/student pass discounts to save where you can. I could go on!

We'll be back and will recommend. Thanks Sharon.

Great appartment ,just as described approximately 10 paces from ski lift. Owner very helpful. This was our 2nd time in this appartment and we hope to go back next year. Plenty of room for 4, OK with six but would be a squeeze with 8.

Brilliant apartment, conveniently located and well priced. The owner was extremely helpful (even when our car battery died in the car park) and friendly. I have stayed in many ski apartment in my lifetime, and this on was on par with my expectation (and the description). A lot of kitchen utensils/equipment, and decent mattresses. This type of apartments will never be 5 star quality, but this one served the main purpose: skiing! The ski lift is literally on your doorstep! We hired our ski gear downstairs at the Skiset shop, and we parked the car opposite (Charmettoger). I would recommend this apartment to anyone (we were 4 adults so we had plenty of space, 6 would still be suitable for family/close friends, but it would be cramped for 8).

Our holiday in Les Arcs was thoroughly enjoyed by my wife, my brother, my two children and I. The apartment was exceedingly well located close to the lifts in Les Arcs. The owner, Sharon, was a wonderful host. I can certainly recommend renting her property.

This is the 1st review I have ever written - had to share this gem of an apartment. Our family have been to Les Arcs 5 times now and this is the best place we have stayed in. There is nothing the owner hasn't thought of. Sharon is very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. A pleasure to deal with, information of the pistes, area and restaurants. Ski in ski out literally out of your apartment and you are on the slopes. Beds really comfortable - Sharon obviously hasn't brought cheap mattresses. Would not hesitate in returning, have already recommended to a friend. Would recommend taking own linen which we did for the 1st time this year lovely to get into bed with M & S linen smelling of your own washing powder. Thanks Sharon we have a fabulous week. See you again next year. Regards Rob, Nicky and Josh.

A well maintained apartment just a hop, skip and a jump from the nearest lift - it's a slow one but it gets you up onto the slopes and within reach of the whole range. It is also just a short walk from shops, bars, restaurants of Les Arcs 1800

The apartment is well-maintained and adequately equipped. The owner is friendly and helpful.

In addition to confirming all the other reviewers comments I would also highlight the owners communication which is very prompt and includes a lot of helpful information when booking. A choice of 2 ski shops, a lift pass office and bakers/convenience store within 20 seconds walk of the front door all add to the convenience of this apartment.

Our second ski / drive trip to 1800 and to this apartment.

Great drive down, night stopped in Chambery and then left on Sat am at 0700 to beat the rush up the valley to Bourg Arrived in resort early Sat with no traffic and Sharon, the owner, very kindly let us into the apartment early at 10 am, so we had a great afternoons skiing on the Saturday, with an almost empty resort: perfect.

This has to be one of the best locations in Les Arc with a deli / pizza, ski hire and lift pass sale point all in the same block. That, coupled with the very helpful owner, makes for a perfect hassle free, ski holiday. 10 out of 10.

We will certainly go back again next year
