Last winter, the upgrading of Pré Saint Esprit chair, the widening of the Vallée de l’Arc run and the addition of snow-making equipment made this sector one of the most popular in Les Arcs.
However, this initial phase was only the start of a wider-reaching project that aims at encouraging visitors to rediscover this neglected part of the ski area and its exceptional advantages: a wide valley overlooking Mont Blanc, a sector that is protected from bad weather, accessible even to beginners, at the intersection of Arc 1600 with its forest skiing, the charming village of Villaroger and Arc 2000 with its high-altitude skiing.
This winter, Comborcière chairlift is being replaced to make it easier to get to Arc 1600 from the bottom of the Vallée de l’Arc. To replace the Comborcière fixed-grip chairlift, the lift company decided to install a new 4-seat detachable chair that will be twice as fast as the old one. This simple and robust lift will carry up to 2400 skiers/hr.

A connected picnic area at the top of Comborcieref
For locals, the panorama that appears as you reach the top of the new Comborcière chairlift is one of the prettiest in the resort. It is therefore quite natural that, after replacing the chairlift, a picnic area should be created for a comfortable contemplative pause. Panoramic binoculars allow you to observe the mountain chains and Mont Blanc. As Les Arcs is still at the forefront of modernity, the place also has WiFi, a photo spot and mobile charging terminals.
The cabin of the Aiguille Rouge cable car has been given a full facelift and will be a beautiful bright red.
