Arêches-Beaufort (France)

Arêches was established at the foot of the Beaufort mountain range by the inhabitants of Beaufort shortly after the Second World War. The resort was built in the same traditional style as Beaufort and later the modern 'mini resort' of Le Planay was added. The peaceful and inviting atmosphere makes these ski resorts ideal for families and beginners.
