Nice to see Arc 1600 getting some much-needed attention at last.

The direct funicular link up from the TGV terminal in Bourg makes this a
pretty sound bet environmentally - and most of the apartment architecture
was pretty ground-breaking when it was conceived.

Les Arcs is (are?) still a fun place...

"Nice"....

Matter of opinion! Another big development, and no increase in piste mileage
(although the reply from the resort is that acreage will increase with the
planned boost in artificial snow cover). Plus Cachette could become a real
bottlenexk at certain times ...

I remember when the Cachette was a pair of parallel drags and thinking
the new lift was fantastic. Since then the funicular and the greater
popularity of staying in BsM has increased its usage to a serious
bottleneck in the mornings! It really should be replaced with a 6 man.
And the Arpette with a demountable 4 or 6 man.

I agree with you about the resort getting too many beds. My fear is that
it will become like St. Anton in a few years time. They need to develop
some new ski areas.

Incidently does any one know why they would close a piste (source)over
the summer and cover it with straw?
