Location: where is Penthouse Umka

A fantastic ski in – ski out location in the very heart of Arc 1950. Situated along the side of the Baptiste Giabiconi blue piste and opposite the Marmottes and Bois de L'Ours chairlifts. The whole resort completely pedestrianised and car-free, you can literally ski right through the centre.

Overview: chalet description: Penthouse Umka description

***Brand NEW for the 2021/22 season***
* Ski in/Ski out * Access to Spa, Pool, Gym & Cinema Room *
Penthouse Umka is one of 12 brand new suites within the Bear Resort in Arc 1950. We're absolutely thrilled to be opening these independent chalet apartments which combine the intimacy of our award winning chalet service and the luxury of amenities within a larger hotel. Bear Resort offers a spacious common lounge and bar, proper size pool complex with sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and massage suites, gym, cinema, kids' playroom and concierge ski room with rental shop.

Penthouse Umka is on the seventh floor with direct access to the village just down the hall. This four bedroom property is split across two floors, providing unique accommodation for 7 guests in en suite bedrooms.

The suite is entirely independent with open plan living / dining area and balcony overlooking the piste and providing spectacular views. Of course there is surround sound TV, Wifi, flat sceen TV's in the bedrooms and a dedicated chalet host.

This host will provide a cooked breakfast, afternoon tea, canapes on the first and last evening, and a 3 course evening meal on 6 nights, followed by cheese board and coffee and served with a choice of red and white wine.

Our suites share the same building as Bear Lodge, strung along the side of the Baptiste Giabiconi blue piste and opposite the Marmottes and Bois de L'Ours chairlifts. You can glide away from the concierge managed ski room and rental shop or stroll across the piste to the magical traffic free village of Arcs 1950. An extraordinary high altitude intersection of pistes and forty charismatic shops, cafe, bars and restaurants.

The apartment images you can see are all CGI but our animation boys know exactly how we build and how we furnish, everything is to scale from the architect plans.

We update Penthouse Umka's details often, but facilities do change. e.g. some extras listed by the supplier as "free" or included might only be for the first time you use them, or for one time per party, then charged for further use. If any specific feature is essential to your holiday, make sure you ask us to confirm the details of it before you book your holiday.

This package holiday to Penthouse Umka in Les Arcs, France departs Sunday 12th January 2025, for a 7 night stay on a "catered chalet" board basis. A local tourist tax (Taxe de Sejour or Kurtaxe) is levied by many councils in European ski resorts. It varies by standard and type of accommodation and is age dependent, so not everyone is charged. It's not included in the basic price of your holiday and is usually paid locally. For reference, the average charged in winter 2024 was between €1 and €3 per person, per night.

Les Arcs came to be in 1968 after a group of ski instructors and architects dreamt up a resort with all the perks of a village but a mountainside location. It grew into one of the largest, most incredible ski areas in the Alps. The closest airport is Chambery with a transfer time of a couple of hours, plus transport links from Geneva, Lyon and Grenoble. Present-day Les Arcs consists of four main purpose built villages. The original resort, Arc 1600, was created for doorstep skiing and is linked by a funicular ...
As you'd expect from one of the biggest ski areas on the planet, there's everything from gorgeous tree-lined runs to wild, white-knuckle off-piste. For beginners, each of the 3 main Arcs has 'ski tranquille' zone, and the wide beginner runs leading to the resort have gentle gradients perfect for practising. Local instructors are on hand to show you the ropes, with ski schools based in each of the main villages (1800 has the most). There are magic carpet lifts at 1800 and 2000 - an easy way for newbies to get up ...
If you're looking for a party, Arc 1800 is the place to be. With heaps of watering holes like the Red Hot Saloon (or the 'Red Bar' to use local lingo), Benji's and La Folie Douce. If you're looking for more of a French-style après spot, Ambiente Cafe has a really cool atmosphere and lots of nice cocktails (happy hour usually starts at 4) while Le club 1950 your venue if you're looking to party into the wee hours. Arc 1600's a little quieter but for good music and a scenic terrace check out Les 2 Têtes. In te...
