One run here drops 2,026 vertical metres. From the Aiguille Rouge at 3,226 metres down to the village of Villaroger, seven kilometres of piste make up one of the longest continuous descents in Europe. Around it, Les Arcs - Peisey-Vallandry spreads 200 kilometres of runs across seven bases, from Arc 1600 through to Peisey-Vallandry and Villaroger, with seventy percent of the terrain lying above 2,000 metres. In 2023 it became the first ski area in Europe certified B Corp, and it also holds the Flocon Vert label; its operator reports cutting carbon emissions by eighty percent since 2006. The Vanoise Express cable car links it westward to La Plagne, forming Paradiski.

France's third-largest ski area, Paradiski links La Plagne with Les Arcs - Peisey-Vallandry across 425 kilometres of connected runs. Crossing between the two sides takes four minutes aboard the Vanoise Express, a double-decker cable car that spans the valley without a single pylon. Terrain rises from 1,250 to 3,250 metres, and with 70% of it sitting above 2,000 metres, snow cover holds reliably from December into April. The 130 lifts reach everything from the tree-lined slopes of Montchavin, Les Coches and Montalbert to the long high-altitude descents off the Aiguille Rouge.
