Trois Arcs residence (also sometimes called « Charmettes ») is located in Arc 1600 french ski resort.

It is an historical building, made in 1968. It is seated between ski runs (south side = exit at level 3) and parking (north side, exit at level 1). It used to host tourism office, shops and an hotel. But these items have moved in another part of the resort and the hotel has closed in the nineties. Only shops which give onto south side are still in place.

Residence now offers many rental apartments. Most of them have a south orientation with balconies and a great view onto ski area and la Coupole...

Trois Arcs residence (also sometimes called « Charmettes ») is located in Arc 1600 french ski resort.

It is an historical building, made in 1968. It is seated between ski runs (south side = exit at level 3) and parking (north side, exit at level 1). It used to host tourism office, shops and an hotel. But these items have moved in another part of the resort and the hotel has closed in the nineties. Only shops which give onto south side are still in place.

Residence now offers many rental apartments. Most of them have a south orientation with balconies and a great view onto ski area and la Coupole (concert hall). North apartments (no balcony) have view onto parking.

Location is great, close to ski runs and useful shops.

The bad points usualy listed by holiday makers are the dilapided state of most of the apartments and the noise (restaurant and bar at ground level, funicular top station proximity).

Note, there are ski lockers and a lift (which stop at floor 6, there are 7 floors in the residence).

L'appartement était fonctionnel, bien équipé et avec une jolie vue. La propreté n'était pas parfaite à notre arrivée, les meubles étaient poussiéreux, l'aspirateur plein. Autre bémol, la description de l'appartement précisait qu'il y avait une box wifi, mais il semblerait qu'elle était absente...

Appartement très bien situé aux pieds des pistes mais forcément avec les inconvénients que cela implique, notamment la nuit avec le ballet des dameuses qui font pas mal de bruit... Sans compter la musique du bar en dessous qui heureusement s'arrêtait le soir.
La salle de bain demande un rafraîchissement, mur brut derrière les toilettes avec reste de carrelage qui se décolle...
Sinon, résidence nickel et local à ski en intérieur très appréciable.
Reste le prix qui reste très cher pour une seule pièce... Des amis qui avaient loué dans la résidence attenante payaient le même prix et avaient une chambre...
