Léa Deslandes

What is your fondest memory of Les Arcs?
Set off on an evening hike to the Col de la Chal pass, enjoying the evening light and the silence of the closed ski lifts, and take in the immensity of the landscape for one last ride with friends. The summer version by bike works very well too!

What is your favourite spot for riding (in Les Arcs)?
Winter is undoubtedly the reverse side of the Aiguille Rouge, a beautiful outing to Mont Pourri, and summer is the same area by bike to reach the bottom of the Peisey Nancroix valley via beautiful trails!

Any restaurants or bars you would recommend?
When I'm not running my restaurant, the Wood Bear Café, I dream of spending time with friends at the Sanglier qui Fume, the Miam Corner, or enjoying a platter at the Solliet after a long winter ride!

3 words that define YOUR vision of Les Arcs
Legendary, immensity, pleasure

A commitment that is important to you?
Protect our environment! It may sound cliché, but we enjoy it so much every day! As an outdoor sports enthusiast, I am appalled to see litter in nature, cigarette butts, paper, etc. It may be worth reminding ourselves of the basics sometimes!!! Otherwise, I have plenty more... No disposable plastics, no bottled water, cycling more because it's beautiful, and not thinking too big, we all already have a lot to do on our own small scale!
