Who created the Les Arcs resort?

It was within the context of the democratization of winter sports that ski resort projects emerged. Faced with growing tourist demand, this represented a true urban planning revolution in the mountains. It was in this context that Roger Godino and Robert Blanc created the Les Arcs resort, enlisting the help of Charlotte Perriand . Imagining a tourist site in the heart of nature was a challenge perfectly suited to the architect. A skier and passionate mountaineer, Charlotte always envisioned creating " the perfect ski resort ," and developing residences where " every floor would have a view of the horizon ."

Arc 1600: “living together in the mountains”

From 1967 to 1989, Charlotte Perriand dedicated herself to integrating architecture into the environment, creating " a harmonious volume ." With buildings angled and perpendicular to the slope, each balcony offers breathtaking, unobstructed mountain views. True embodiments of inventiveness, Charlotte Perriand's residences champion both privacy and community living in the mountains. Acoustic comfort and complete privacy—they were revolutionary for tourists.
