And relax at the Nama Springs
Tucked away in Eden Arc 1800m, is the
Nama Springs spa, with a hammam, four
different saunas, a salt flotation pool and
two outdoor pools. On a cold day, be
warned that while swimming in the snow is
wonderful, you’ll need nerves of steel to
strip off and dance through the ice to get in
and out of the pool.
Best lunch recommendation
Chalet de l’Arc (Arc 2000). The joy of Les
Arcs is that it’s largely pedestrianised and
you can walk to this altitude restaurant
across the slopes. It’s set in an original farm
building and oozes local charm. The portion
sizes are gigantean and the local speciality
“Le Chausson du Boulanger” (particularly Le
Savoyard one made with cabbage, sour
cream, Beaufort cheese and sausage) is a
must. Although, you will never fit into your
salopettes again!
By the time you feel ready to roll down the
mountain, it’ll be time to head back to Club
Med for a 4-course dinner! But at least with
all the activities you’ve done, you feel like
you’ve earned it!
