Often considered a natural rampart, the Alps are however not impassable. Through the presence of the Petit-Saint-Bernard, Bonhomme and Iseran passes, the Haute-Tarentaise valley has brought together important places of passage since prehistory. Since Antiquity, the Petit-Saint-Bernard pass has been a link between local Alpine populations. During the Roman conquest, Emperor Augustus completed the construction of the Roman road. Troops, sovereigns, pilgrims, merchants, bankers and peddlers cross paths on the roads. At the end of the Middle Ages, the County of Savoie controlled five crucial passes, including the Petit and Grand Saint-Bernard.
Prices and days of visits are present on My Week in Les Arcs, the Entertainment Program or in Tourist Offices.
Born in 1968, Arc 1600 is a veritable architectural laboratory where a wide range of concepts are imagined: integration of buildings into the slope, opening up of terraces to the landscape, absence of opposite views...
Les Arcs, a modern, functional resort integrated into the mountain landscape. An architectural signature of great names such as Charlotte Perriand, Guy Rey-Millet, Gaston Regairaz, Bernard Taillefer...
Taillefer designed the Coupole, whose glulam framework served as the graphic basis for the Les Arcs logo.
A testament to the modernity of the mountains and nature, Arc 1600 has been awarded the label Architecture Contemporaine Remarquable by the French Ministry of Culture.
