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

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.
