Les Arcs provides an abundance of supermarkets for self-caterers and plenty of restaurants for the lazy!
Owing to the large proportion of self-catering
apartments, all the Les Arcs villages are well-equipped with small supermarkets
as well as specialist grocers. Anyone able to get down to Bourg St Maurice, by
funicular or car, will find that the Super-U hypermarket on the outskirts of
town beats the lots hands down for choice and price! There are also plenty of
restaurants to try in each area, for a change or on the chalet girls’ night off
if not every night. The many establishments offering Savoyard cuisine are
reliably good, if relentlessly cheesy, while the preponderance of pizza places
offer toppings with an alpine twist – there’s usually at least one featuring
all the tartiflette ingredients on a pizza base! Most will offer takeaway if
you ask nicely. Arc 1950, being recently purpose built, is particularly
well-supplied with restaurants, including what may be the only Mexican
restaurant in the entire region.
