Despite being a hub of experimental architecture, theresort of les Arcs was not an opportunity for the architects and planners to pull down the existing chalets d’alpage (rudimentary summer dwellings for stockmen). For Charlotte Perriand and her colleagues, they were evidence of the site’s history and should, on the contrary, be an integral part of the development plan. In the same way, the municipality of Bourg Saint Maurice - Les Arcs is as attached to this 20th century heritage as to that, much older, which is found in the town and villages.
The rates and dates of the guided tours are presented on My week in Les Arcs, the weekly entertainments programme and in Tourist offices.
Arc 1600, an architectural signature
A modern, functional resort, integrated into the mountain landscape and adapted to the slope. The work of a team of designers which gathered around Charlotte Perriand, the architects Gaston Regairaz, Guy Rey-Millet, Bernard Taillefer, Robert Robutato and Pierre Faucheux amongst others. The latter was to design the Coupole the glued laminated wooden frame of which was used as the basis for the design of les Arcs’ logo.
