When it comes to the iconic ski resorts of the French Alps, the creation of Les Arcs stands out as a fascinating chapter in the history of alpine tourism. This destination combines bold vision and architectural innovation in a context of democratization of winter sports. 

An architectural paradigm

Its purpose was above all to highlight the natural beauty of the mountain while offering modern facilities. The choice of modern architecture was an essential element of the creation of Les Arcs.

This approach broke with the architectural conventions of the time, creating a distinctive paradigm that still stands out today.
