Site Development
Proposal notes the need to preserve and integrate natural beauty and
existing site landscape.
Three distinctive areas designated for construction:
• The Village is the principal residential space and welcome center. It is
located at the bottom of the slopes, at 1,700 m high, where the
existing ski resort is and on the opposite southern mountain. The
space sits on 20 hectares and is 1.5 km long.
• The Valley hosts a recreational area with the implementation of an
Aquapark, and a 2,000 parking spaces located in the valley at 1,000m
high which completes a residential area. This avoids congestion of
the 7 km access road.
• The Hamlet to the West of the resort, a small hamlet of thirty to fifty
lodgings resides at the border of the woods, providing its inhabitants
an eco-tourism location.
All areas connected by shuttle service and served by new parking
facilities
