Santa arriving on a zip wire?

Wednesday, 2 December 20153 min read

Arc 1950 in the French Paradiski area is planning to open on December 12 after receiving its first heavy snowfall of the season and the resort, which is the newest in Europe, will have a different theme every week.

It will start with Christmas festivities, during which Santa will arrive in the village on a zip wire. In January there will be a Russian fashion week, followed by a Carnival and Kids week in February. In March, there will be Olympic and St Patrick’s celebrations.

General manager Nathalie Guidon said: "We are excited to now have our resort covered in snow. With our village at 1950m, we can guarantee ski in-and-out for our guests who come to us for their skiing holiday.

" You can ski to your door, you can ski to the shops, in fact the resort is designed so you can ski right through our little village to everything you need!"

In addition to these themed weeks, Arc 1950 offers a full village programme, including freestyle nights on Tuesdays, sledging on lit pistes on Wednesday evenings and night skiing on Thursday and Friday evenings.
