40 years of mountain architecture
Created in the middle of the sixties, the resort of Les Menuires consists of nine distinct quarters, linked by pistes as well as by pedestrian paths or mechanical lifts. Each built at a different period, they illustrate the development of mountain architecture.
> > To start with there were the sober and pure lines of La Croisette, Brelin, Preyerand, built with maximal functionality in mind.
> Then Les Bruyères and Reberty adopted a more traditional construction schema: buildings limited to a height of 6 stories, with sloping roofs and wooden façades.
> This more authentic tendency has grown in amplitude: La Sapinière, Reberty 2 000, Les Balcons des Bruyères, Les Hameaux des Marmottes and Les Airelles whose architecture is directly inspired by Savoyard buildings, integrating stone, wood and slate. Comfort elements such as swimming-pools, saunas, steam rooms, or beauty institutes equip these new chalets, residences and hotels, bringing a new status to the resort.
> Today, the stakes are now to improve the quality of the offer and services provided. In addition to the 6 000 beds built in chalets over the last 10 years, the resort now has over 4 000 renovated beds.
