Les Arcs has announced it is spending around 9.1 million Euros this summer on upgrading its slopes and improving safety ahead of next winter.Four new lifts are being installed including a short new chairlift "du Parchey" in Plan Peisey, Peisey-Vallandry. This will link a new building expected for completion in winter 2011/2012 and form an easier connection between the lifts and a new children's playground. It will be 302m long, rise 107 vertical metres and have a capacity of 1500 people per hour.
Between Arcs 1600 and 1800 a new ski lift will serve the resort's famous Apocalypse Snow Park with the old Clair Blanc chairlift removed. The new lift will improve access to the park making it faster to do laps. It will be 730m long, rise 147 vertical metres and have a capacity of 1,200 people per hour
Other new lifts include l'Eterlou rope tow at Arc 2000 which will make it easier to get back to the resort from the Arcabulle chair and a covered moving walkway conveyor lift at the top of the "Olympic Games" hill which will be an easier lift for beginners to use.
Les Arcs will also add 5.2km more snow making cover to guarantee snow cover on the ridge between Arc 2000 and Arc 1600/Arc 1800 and doubling capacity for better production.
The resort has also published lift ticket prices for 2010-11. A six day adult Les Arcs pass will be 209 Euros, with the equivalent full Paradiski pass, including La Plagne's lifts and the Vanoise Express cable car between the two, available at 249 Euros.
