AN ARCHITECTURAL UFO

Imagined by the town of Courchevel, this gigantic project has been developed since 2007 by the architects Auer Weber & Associates.

This spaceship made of glass and wood has landed discreetly in magnificent natural surroundings of the 3 Valleys. Despite its extraordinary size, this structure entirely dedicated to relaxation and leisure, has managed to integrate into its surroundings, nestling into the mountain side amongst the fir trees.

The architect imagined hiding the whole structure under a spectacular green roof of more than 9 800m2. Looking like a huge green wave in the summer, giving place to a snowy cocoon in the winter, it fits in perfectly with the surroundings, with only simple shells of wood showing. They are in fact vast, rounded attics which capture the light and give an incredible view of the mountains.

Above the requirements linked to the environment, this building is very futuristic.

The Aqualudique centre in Courchevel was designed to integrate perfectly into its enchanting environment, is surrounded by mountains, and is made of very noble materials. Aquamotion nestles into the mountains in keeping with nature.

A responsible energy consumption

Optimized water treatment.

Emphasis on public transport.

HPC & RECREA

Courchevel chose a public service delegation to manage and run Aquamotion. This combines Récréa , major specialist  of aquatic and leisure centres and the company HPC which brings expertise in real estate and high end hotel complexes.

The municipality has entrusted these two specialists with the project for a period of eight years. Recrea has been based in Normandy at Caen-lamer, for 25 years and manage 55 leisure facilities for communities which include, social, educative and leisure aims. As much for facilities as in recreational activities, Recrea wishes to offer the best in well-being and  make their centres available to as many people as possible for physical activities promoting sport and health. 

The centres are designed to welcome the public in general from 3 months to over 77 years of age as well as people with reduced mobility. The aim of Récré is that the staff  welcome you well, groups and all users.
