Les Arcs An obvious choice
Among all the prestigious destinations in the Alps, in France, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy, why did the Intrawest Group choose Les Arcs? Perhaps it was the breathtaking landscapes of our region that reminded the Canadian executives of the vast North American wilderness. Additionally, the dynamic development and potential attractiveness of this resort likely reinforced their decision: the ski area is set to double in size with the upcoming construction of the Vanoise Express, a cable car that will connect Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry to La Plagne, propelling it to the second largest ski area in the world.
What is certain is that the stunning panoramas captured their hearts and convinced them, in 2002, to select this Savoyard resort to realize their unique integrated resort project. The exact location was then carefully chosen to preserve the natural ecosystem as much as possible, and all that was left was to entrust architect Eldon Beck with the task of designing the plans for a village-resort that would evolve in perfect harmony with its surroundings.
