In the Eighties Les Arcs introduced the snowboard to Europe and "Team Apo" still rip it up in the well-maintained and versatile Apocalypse Park.

The Apocalypse Park above 1800 is well-maintained and boasts jumps and rails at three levels of difficulty. The lowest is perfect for keen but inexperienced boarders (and skiers) yet can still provide pretty sizeable air when approached at speed! The black jumps on the other side are formidable, and the timid can still enjoy an afternoon in the park watching braver souls trying their luck. A new boarder-cross was built for the 2004-5 season over the ridge underneath the Plagnettes chair in Arc 2000.

Les Arcs also provides a great deal for novice boarders and those who prefer being on the piste to off it. The varied terrain of the runs, with assorted bumps and drops, provides plenty of opportunities for jumps. Meanwhile, Blanchot, at the top of the Grizzly, is perfect for a first lesson, and the network of steepish reds across the whole resort is an ideal learning ground for those who still find flatter ground tricky.
