Overview
- An arrêté from the préfet coordinateur du Massif des Alpes denied authorization, calling the project’s scale manifestly excessive.
- The file lacked sufficiently probative evidence on impacts, with unresolved questions about water availability and underestimated greenhouse gas emissions.
- The plan, launched in 2019, proposed a €88.5 million complex totaling 17,597 m², including 99 suites for up to 700 beds, a 4-star residence, shops, and an indoor activity hub.
- A public consultation published the week before the decision logged about 3,450 responses, nearly 80% opposed.
- Tony Parker’s group Infinity Nine developed the project after acquiring the local lift operator SEVLC in 2019, and it may now either appeal within two months or submit a revised dossier.
