Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) put her visionary genius at the service of mountain development, from Saint-Nicolas-de-Véroce to Méribel, from the Belleville valley to Les Arcs in Savoie, via China. From 1967 to 1989, it devoted its activity to the creation of the Les Arcs 1600 and 1800 resorts, one of the largest ski areas in France, under the supervision of the developer Roger Godino. For the first time in the history of architecture, a woman headed a team of architects responsible for the construction of 25,000 beds.

In addition to the interior architecture of all the houses, Charlotte Perriand determined the urban planning of the two resorts and the architecture of most of the buildings, in collaboration with Gaston Regairaz and Bernard Taillefer for Les Arcs 1800. For more than twenty years, she has worked hard to design this winter and summer leisure centre to share her love of the mountains and nature with city dwellers from all over the world.

With a new introduction, this book devoted to the creation of the two resorts of Les Arcs - designated as "20th Century Architectural Heritage" in 2003 - is a reworking of the sections devoted to the mountains and Les Arcs in volumes 3 & 4 of Charlotte Perriand's complete works.
