We bought in ARC 1950 because it is the "right" place in the Paradiski system and at high altitude. A motley lively village to contrast otherwise so common scattered modernist house blocks. As I am here a lot and a passionate skier, I can also easily take the turns in Val d'Isére, Tignes, Chamonix, Val Thorens, La Rosiére, Ste Foy, etc. All reachable within an hour if you have a car here! Unique in the world!
