Arêches

Highlight • Other

Arêches is a village and ski resort in the Beaufortain, in the Savoie department of the French Alps. It's a great base for trail running, offering easy access to the mountain trails. There's a range of cafes, restaurants and shops in the village.

At just over 1,000 metres (3,281 ft), it's a good high-altitude training base, and home to several champion trail runners and ski mountaineers.
