What's new in Les Arcs / Peisey-Vallandry
THE Transarc Metamorphosis
In December 2023, the metamorphosis of Transarc began. The first phase of the project aimed to facilitate access to the area. A successful bet with the design of a reception, advice and sales area, as well as the installation of a modern escalator facilitating access to the start of the Transarc from the Arc 1800 station.
This winter, experience with us the renewal of the emblematic link between the Arc 1800 resort and the summits. The new Transarc includes a complete transformation with more spacious cabins with 10 seats, significantly improving passenger comfort. The climbing speed will reach 7 meters per second for an ascent in 13 minutes compared to 20 minutes previously, an important issue in order to guarantee better fluidity when boarding.
At the summit, enjoy a 360° panorama, while at the intermediate point, a mineral gallery offers an exhibition of beautiful specimens.
