Amanda M Minto. Date of travel: Jan 2005
My partner and I stayed at the newly finished 'Prince des Cimes' resort in a one bedroomed apartment. The resort is overflowing with character and Savoie charm. Our one bedroomed apartment was surprisingly spacious, about double the size of the usual French ski apartments, and contained all good quality furniture and appliances. There is also a lovely indoor swimming pool, sauna and an outdoor Jacuzzi for the very brave! There was a good covering of snow during our stay but I noticed snow cannons were sited ready for use should the need arise. A good selection of runs means that there's plenty of choice for skiers of all abilities. My partner is a black run fan and found lots of runs to keep him occupied. I found the beginners slopes non-crowded and good for confidence building. There is a limited selection of restaurants, however, the food is good quality, I would particularly recommend the minestrone soup served in the Italian restaurant. Fantastic hearty fare after a cold day on the slopes! You can get cheaper resorts in the area but at Arc 1950 you get quality Tour Operator: Booked direct
