So whether you have never skied before or have grown up skiing or perhaps done a few seasons there is a level perfect for you.

With 2/3 hours of daily instruction there will be plenty of free time to either enjoy the mountain with mates or join in with GO Mammoth activities.

Go skiing alone but not on your own!

We pride ourselves on being an incredibly friendly and welcoming company across all aspects of our products. Whether you are a complete beginner or absolute pro everyone will love our super social group holiday leaving with both new mates and truly unique experiences!

There are 4 different levels of ski instruction/guide groups; beginner, intermediate, confirmed and expert.

The 2/3 hours of daily instruction isnt like a typical lesson. You spend much more time with the instructor and the group therefore the learning is much less formal, less intense and more fun. Everyone is learning the same things at the same speed thus there is minimal waiting around and a natural support network around you.

Of course there is formal teaching, practicing and perfecting, but it’s more relaxed and there is plenty of free time to enjoy the mountain with mates or join the GO Mammoth reps.

Accommodation

Our ski in ski out on piste accommodation is situated near Arc 1600, the lowest of the Les Arcs resorts and is a 10 minute walk from the centre of the village. Les Arcs 1600 is set in an idyllic location at the foot of the slopes and has a very friendly and laid-back atmosphere helped by the fact that it is a fully pedetrianized area. However, due to a convenient free shuttle  bus link (you can also walk or even ski the distance!) it also has easy access to neighboring villages such as Les Arcs 1800 where the nightlife is vibrant and buzzing.

Your package is based on sharing a room with up to 3 other people (4 staggered beds) in a large apartment block with basic but comfortable surroundings. We will also make sure groups are kept together. There are all the usual amenities such as dining rooms, a ski/board room, a TV room and bars.

Please note: On Sunday arrival, please check in anytime from 8am. Early check-in (Saturday) is available for an additional fee. All guests will need to check-out by 1pm on Saturday.

World famous Les Arcs snowsure slopes, amazing off piste and superb atmosphere make it ideal for GO Mammoth to host an action-packed ski week! Its site, set among tress overlooking the Vanoise national park has a huge variety of slopes to satisfy all abilities. The resort is made up of four separate villages, all of which are ski in ski out and offer doorstep access to the fantastic Paradiski area, one of the most extensive and varied ski domains in the world. Les Arcs has a reputation of being calm and beautiful in the daytime but particularly lively at night!

Insurance

As with all holidays, it’s important that you purchase adequate travel insurance for your trip. You should check with the provider that you’re covered for ski activities. If you are a British Citizen you should also apply and carry with you an EHIC (European Health Insurance Card).

Getting to Les Arcs

Les Arcs is relatively easy to get to but you need to plan ahead and work out the best options depending on your budget.

Please note: On Sunday arrival, please check in anytime from 8am. Early check-in (Saturday) is available for an additional fee. All guests will need to check-out by 1pm on Saturday.

By Plane: 

We recommend SkyScanner to find the best deal, choosing from the following airports:

• Chambery (2 hours away)
• Geneva (2.5 hours away)
• Grenoble (2.5 hours away)
• Lyon (2.5 hours away)

Transfers from these airports can easily be arranged through the providers below. We suggest Ben’s Bus who operate transers to Les Arcs from Geneva, Lyon and Chambery airports from £50pp.

• Ben’s Bus
• Snow Bus
• Altibus

By Coach:

By far the cheapest way to get to resort is with Snow Express or Eurolines who both run a coach service from London.

By Train:

• Eurostar Direct Ski Train – This runs from London to Bourg St Maurice with no changes.  Runs daytime (Saturdays) and overnight (departs London Friday evenings, departs the Alps Saturday evenings). There’s a cafe bar onboard but on the overnight service there are no couchette beds, only reclining seats.
• Eurostar + TGV – You can take a morning Eurostar from London to Paris or Lille, and then change onto a TGV (and a regional train too on weekdays). Also, Eurostars and TGVs have cafe bars to make the trip a little bit more enjoyable!

Les Arcs has one of the easiest and cheapest train-to-resort links via the funicular than runs from Bourg-St-Maurice to Arc 1600.
