Added this climb after the Petit Saint Bernard. This a typical ski resort climb, nowhere super steep, max 8% and good asphalt. Nice views of the valley of Bourg Saint Maurice, but 's afternoon is well in the sun, hot so. In terms of traffic I wasn't too bad, the occasional big truck going up, but basically everyone overtakes very nicely and quietly.

Deze klim erbij gedaan na de Petit Saint Bernard. Dit een typische skiresort klim, nergens supersteil, max 8% en goed asfalt. Mooie uitzichten op het dal van Bourg Saint Maurice, maar 's middags ligt deze goed in de zon, warm dus. Qua verkeer viel het me mee, af en toe een grote vrachtwagen die naar boven rijdt, maar eigenlijk haalt iedereen heel netjes en rustig in.

We did the ascent of Les Arcs 1800 because we had heard that it was interesting for novices like us.
The road is not very good and there is a lot of traffic. Nevertheless, the climb was pleasant with the view of Bourg St Maurice and Mont Blanc.
No worries about orientation with the markers confirming that you are on the right path.
Very proud to have been able to make this climb!

Nous avons effectué la montée des Arcs 1800 car nous avions entendu parlé qu'elle était intéressante pour les novices comme nous.
La route n'est pas de bonne qualité et la circulation est présente. Néanmoins la montée était plaisante avec la vue sur Bourg St Maurice et le Mont Blanc.
Aucun soucis d'orientation avec les bornes qui vous confirment que vous êtes sur le bon chemin.
Très fier d'avoir pu réussir cette montée !

Deze klim naar Arc 1800 meegepakt om vanaf daar te gaan wandelen. De klim zelf is een brede weg, met af en toe slecht wegdek. Autos rijden hard en soms ook vrachtverkeer.
Tussen de bomen door wel mooie vergezichten met blik op de Mont Blanc.

Staying at the foot of climbing classics (Cormet de Roselend / Petit St. Bernard/ Iseran), a climb to one of Les Arcs' four ski resorts was not so immediately inviting or top priority on my bucket list.
Last day of my cycling&hiking holiday (September 2022) I finally cycled up the climb to Arc 1800.
Typical wide road built to get as many winter sportsmen as possible safely to their respective final destination by car. Starts down in Bourg St.Maurice near the Funiculaire (mountain railway),which you will cycle under several times along the way. Route winds up the green mountainside with some hairpin turns and sporadic wide panoramas's into which your departure town sinks deeper.
Roundabouts along the way let you choose between Arc 2000 - 1950 - 1600 or, in my case, 1800 as your destination. Just before you reach the summer deserted ugly ski village with high-rise buildings and car parks it goes downhill for a while.
Fairly regular climb without extreme passages but still quite spicy. Fast-moving traffic though. White yellow bike info posts every kilometre (distance to finish / % next km./ altitude) are on post.

Not so immediately recommended with the wonderful Alpine routes around Bourg St. Maurice as competitors!

Verblijvend aan de voet van klimklassiekers (Cormet de Roselend / Petit St. Bernard/ Iseran) was een klim naar één van de vier wintersportcentra van Les Arcs, niet zo direct uitnodigend of topprioriteit op mijn bucketlist.
Laatste dag van mijn fiets&wandelvakantie (september 2022) uiteindelijk de klim naar Arc 1800 op gefietst.
Typische brede weg aangelegd om zoveel mogelijk wintersporters veilig per auto naar hun respectievelijke eindbestemming te brengen. Start beneden in Bourg St.Maurice in de buurt van de Funiculaire (bergspoor),dat je onderweg nog enkele keren zal onderdoor fietsen. Route slingert de groene bergflank omhoog met enkele haarspeldbochten en sporadisch weidse panorama's waarin je vertrekstad dieper wegzinkt.
Rotonde onderweg laat je kiezen tussen Arc 2000 - 1950 - 1600 of in mijn geval 1800 als bestemming. Vlak voor je het zomers verlaten lelijk skidorp met hoogbouw en parkings bereikt gaat het nog even bergaf.
Vrij regelmatige klim zonder extreme passages maar toch best pittig. Wel snel rijdend verkeer. Wit gele fietsinfopaaltjes elke kilometer (afstand tot eindpunt / % volgende km./ hoogte) zijn op post.

Niet zo direct een aanrader met de wondermooie Alpenroutes rond Bourg St. Maurice als concurrenten!
