Arc 1950: weather, snow, webcams and the pedestrian village
Arc 1950 webcams
The operator’s terms of use do not allow its content to be reproduced without written consent, so AlpeSnow does not show these images and links to each webcam on the official website. The forecast is alongside.
Weather-model estimates at the stated altitude of each point, not measurements. Forecast snowfall is not the depth of snow on the ground. Source: Open-Meteo, updated every hour.
Before a stay in Arc 1950, French Alps: the weather in the village and at the top of the ski area, the snow, the resort webcams and what makes this Les Arcs village different.
In short. Arc 1950 is a fully pedestrian village in the Les Arcs ski resort, in the commune of Bourg-Saint-Maurice, facing Mont Blanc, with ski-in ski-out access to the Paradiski area. This page gives the Open-Meteo forecast for the village (1,950 m) and the Aiguille Rouge (3,226 m), the highest point of Les Arcs, the snow depth measured at the Les Arcs Météo-France post and links to the village’s official webcams.

Understanding the conditions
A pedestrian village facing Mont Blanc
According to its website, Arc 1950 was designed as an entirely pedestrian mountain village facing Mont Blanc: in winter its streets become ski runs, so you can ski to the door of your residence. The village has 3,600 beds, about forty shops and a 1,000 m² spa.
Arc 1950 gives access to the Les Arcs ski area, which tops out at the Aiguille Rouge (3,226 m), and to Paradiski (425 km of runs according to our catalogue), linked to La Plagne by the Vanoise Express cable car according to Les Arcs. The Les Arcs season is announced from 12 December 2026 to 24 April 2027.
The forecast at the top of the page is calculated for the village (1,950 m) and the Aiguille Rouge (3,226 m), 1276 m higher: snow, wind and temperatures are often very different up there. It is an Open-Meteo model estimate, recalculated every hour.
Arc 1950 webcams
The village website publishes four webcams (Mont Blanc, Place du Manoir, clock, and the village) and a live video from the bell tower on YouTube. Its terms of use forbid reproducing its content without written consent, so the links at the top of the page take you there. More Les Arcs views are on the Bourg-Saint-Maurice page.
The webcams show the sky and visibility when the image was taken. The 7-day forecast is an Open-Meteo model estimate for the village (1,950 m) and the Aiguille Rouge (3,226 m), recalculated every hour. The snow depth is a manual Météo-France reading on site, taken during the season: out of season, the page shows the latest measurement with its date. None of these tells you whether a slope or lift is open; the official report does.
On 23 April 2026, the Météo-France post “Les Arcs” (2,040 m) measured 115 cm of snow on the ground and 0 cm of fresh snow. This observation is old: it does not describe the current snow conditions. It is a measurement at the post’s altitude, not on every slope.
How high is Arc 1950?
The village is at 1,950 m, the altitude that gives it its name; the highest point of Les Arcs, the Aiguille Rouge, is at 3,226 m.
Is Arc 1950 car-free?
Yes: its website describes an entirely pedestrian village whose streets become ski runs in winter, so residences are ski-in ski-out.
Which ski area can you reach from Arc 1950?
Les Arcs and Paradiski (425 km of runs according to our catalogue), linked to La Plagne by the Vanoise Express.
Why are the Arc 1950 webcam images not shown here?
The official website’s terms of use do not allow its content to be reproduced without written consent. AlpeSnow respects this: the page links straight to each webcam on the resort’s website and adds the forecast and snow information.
When does the season start in Arc 1950?
The Les Arcs season is announced from 12 December 2026 to 24 April 2027. An announced date is not a guarantee: check slope openings on “Les Arcs en direct”.
What is the weather forecast for Arc 1950?
