Les Arcs Panorama France

Thank you once more, Club Med Panorama, for a wonderful holiday in the Belvedere Collection space. We returned for the 4th time in a row, and it was just like coming home! The suite always feels spacious and calming and the Executive lounge / terrace is probably our favourite place in the entire resort with its welcoming, intimate vibe and stunning floor to ceiling views over the whole valley.

We had a great time skiing. Apart from zooming around the Les Arcs villages at their different altitudes, we managed to exhaust ourselves by descending all the way to Villaroger to experience the new bubble lift one day, then on the next, reaching la Plagne via the Vanoise Express.

Back at Panorama, we loved the addition of la Folie Douce: DJ, singer, guitarist and dancers, to the entertainment rota. It was a fantastic set, bringing a a different kind of energy into the resort. More please!

Lastly, a special call out to the fantastic Belvedere team: Matheus, Christophe, Florent, Elisa, Maeli, Eloise and Marinne – apologies if we’ve spelt your name wrong or missed someone out. The whole team works so well to look after their guests and ensure that everyone has a special time. We enjoyed getting to know them all. A separate shout-out goes to the lovely Ackbar, who cleaned and tidied our suite each day masterfully, and enchanted us with towel art.

This hotel is a really well oiled machine. All the staff are incredibly hard working and every one of them we encountered were so nice. The main lounge area, although a massive space, it always felt cozy, relaxed and never too loud. All the communal areas are kept spotlessly clean, as was our room. (Someone mentioned hoover in previous review being used in afternoon during live music, but honestly it was so quiet we hardly noticed it) The ClubMed app was really useful and a very easy way to request extra items if required for your room.

We enjoyed the shows in the evenings, unfortunately we missed some, as we were just too tired from skiing all day. Our family bedroom for 3, was really comfortable and had lots of storage. Our son, at his own choice, didn’t wish to join in with the teen club, but the team still always made sure to say hi and we even had a note left to the room to remind our son that if he wanted to join in activities he could at any time. We thought this was a nice touch.

ESF lessons were well organised. Boot room had plenty of room and takes you straight out onto to slopes.

Les Arcs as a ski area is wonderful and varied, as a family we would rate it as our favourite area to go.

Thanks to all the wonderful staff for a really enjoyable stay. We hope to return in the future 🫶🏻

Transfer from Geneva very efficient in a private people carrier with only five guests. Check in was chaos, I don’t need a tour and would like a quicker check in procedure so I can access my room. The bedroom was functional with a separate bath/shower and toilet. Very good wash products available. Temperature control in the room was erratic and only a tiny heater which wasn’t very efficient, however extra blankets were available on request. Bar area is excellent and nice to have the snacks at the end of a days skiing. Good service at the bar and never had to wait long for a drink. Restaurant is good. Plenty of choices on offer unless you’re a vegetarian. Vegetables were overcooked and bland but a good choice of salads. There are specials on each night. House wine is pleasant and acceptable. Breakfast choices again superb. The restaurant can be cold in the evening and could do with a bit more heating. The only one big negative about the whole week was the first morning of ski group allocation. Total disorganisation and the groups are far too big. After hanging around for nearly an hour we got a group of 14. They should keep it to a maximum of ten. Great ski area but was very busy all week and a lot of idiots skiing far too fast and out of control. Yes I would come back but probably wouldn’t bother with the ski group.

Our best Club Med stay: great slopes, excellent facilities, and a warm, professional staff. Everything exceeded our expectations.
