1. A new lift at Arc 1600
This replaces the ancient Mont Blanc lift and effectively opens up an area of the mountain that has been little visited in recent years. It should virtually eradicate queues from 1600.
2. Edenarc
A development on the beautiful Chantel site above 1800 was first mooted by Charlotte Perriand and co, and those designs can still be seen in architecture archives. She would not be impressed by the rather more conventional approach adopted by the Edenarc developers. The first buildings look like they will open in December 2011, with more to follow. For the moment the most beautiful tennis courts I have seen have survived, but their days are numbered....
3. Aiguille Grive
A new 4-star hotel or residence "de grand standing" is planned on the site of the much-missed Aiguille Grive restaurant at the foot of the Charmetogger slopes in 1800. A very large hole in the ground has duly emerged. One for 2012 I think.
