Les Arcs
 
I am picking BrratSki up in Les Arcs tomorrow and to avoid me driving
all the way up the mountain we are intending to meet up in Bourg St.
Maurice, but I can't google up a piste map that shows me where the link
up from Bourg arrives in Les Arcs.

Can someone advise please ? Ace, this means you :)

Heh. And within just a couple of minutes of posting too.

The Arc en Ciel funiculair runs up from the back of the Eurostar
station to Arc 1600, just about 100m from the Mont Blanc and Cachette
chair lifts. Dead handy, it is, and we've often used it for a day's
skiing when en-route to or from Tignes or Val.

You should be able to see it on

Ooops, forgot the next question - approx. how long does it take the
shuttle bus to get from Arc 2000 to 1600 and how late do they run ?

TIA

The bottom lift is the Arc En Ciel (Rainbow) Funicular. This is caught from the
railway station (the Bridge at the far end of the station). There is also a car
park next to it.

The top of Arc En Ciel is in Arc 1600. From here walk left to the Free Navettes
to the rest of Les Arcs or through the hotels to the snow and catch which ever
Arc 1600 lift you fancy.

It never occurred to me that there'd be a published timetable (or that
the French would stick to it), so thanks again !

It's definitely a good idea to use public transport! I was there just
a week ago and I was shocked to see that you now have to pay for all
public parking spaces- just at 1800 and 2000 I think. There is a gate
on the road below 1800 for instance where you take a ticket and then
you pay on your way out. Think it cost €70-€80 Euros per week so not
cheap

Did you check the parking at the bottom of the funicular? I know it
always used to be free, so I'd hope they'd leave it so to encourage
people to leave their cars down there.
