On Wednesday 5 February, Arc 1950 will be all about creativity. In the Place Manoir, young and old alike can transform themselves into real sculptors and bring their ideas to life on blocks of snow. It's a convivial moment where the ephemeral meets the artistic.
For those looking for new sensations, Arc 1800 will be the ideal playground from 5pm onwards on the snow front. Called "Paradis de la glisse", this area will offer free trials of several unusual activities: Yooner, Mountain Kart on snow, Boardslide and fun luge. It's a unique opportunity to get off the beaten track and try out new ways of sliding down the snow.
A magical torch-lit walk
There's a change of scene in Arc 1600, where the atmosphere will be decidedly more magical and contemplative. On Thursday 6 February, at 6pm, the resort is inviting visitors to take part in a torchlit walk around the village, starting from the Place du Soleil. In an enchanting setting, punctuated by the flickering light of torches, this walk will offer a suspended moment, between wild nature and winter poetry.

While the skiers hit the slopes, Bourg-Saint-Maurice will be hosting a day dedicated to wooden games on Wednesday 5 February. At the Salle Chorus, from 9am to 5pm, fans of traditional games will be able to discover the new additions to the Médialudothèque, including Nicolas billiards, aeroball, the millstone game and Suspens. There's something for everyone who's looking for a bit of fun and relaxation.
With this varied programme, Les Arcs and Bourg-Saint-Maurice are confirming their desire to offer a winter experience that goes beyond the simple pleasure of skiing. Whether you're challenging the night on the slopes, sculpting the snow, trying out new skiing disciplines or sharing a light walk, these events promise a total immersion in the magic of the mountains.
