Flaine
1600 • 2500
A new
way of life
at altitude
Flaine
is
forever
evolving,
continuously
improving and delighting visitors.
Since its creation, Eric Boissonnas and Marcel
Breuer, the architects of this incredible resort had
one golden rule which was to respect nature and
make sure the resort blended into the mountains. Flaine is a resort
widely considered ahead of the game in terms of innovation,
creation and design which is evident in the way it has seamlessly
blended modern day art into the mountains.
Admired for its avant-garde image, we admire the energetic atmosphere
and marvel at the truly spectacular surrounding mountains.
Flaine is a pioneering ski resort inventing a new lifestyle at
altitude combining creative architecture and culture while drawing on
the breathtaking natural environment. The artists of yesteryear left
their mark in designing Flaine and have inspired today’s generation to
continue where they left off.
In Flaine, innovation is a way of life!

Legend says that Flaine
was created many a moon
ago when a giant came to
rest in the valley and fell asleep
with his head nestled into the
mountainside.
Flaine, the most avant garde of resorts
was created in the 1970’s, under the guidance of Eric Boissonnas
and a dedicated team of alpine enthusiasts. Marcel Breuer, one of
the great American architects of the 20th century and a master of
the Bauhaus style, introduced a bold and different architecture
that shaped Flaine.
Founding members of the Georges Pompidou centre and
passionate contemporary art enthusiasts, Eric & Sylvie
Boissonnas made Flaine into a centre for art. In 1970,
they founded the Centre d’Art welcoming works from well
known and new artists.
Thanks to them, Flaine is the only ski resort in the world
where we can contemplate at any time of the day works
of art by Picasso, Vasarely and Dubuffet. Creative
people will feel at home in Flaine.
Flaine regularly inspires artists and architects. MGM
has also been inspired to build ‘Le Centaure’ in
harmony with the spirit of the resort.

Flaine has something for everyone !
The residence is perfectly situated to take advantage
of this winter wonderland with direct and immediate
access into the Grand Massif with its 265 km of
diverse ski slopes, endless fields of powder for off-piste
action, a free ride park and cross country trails.
The magical Cascades is a 14 km long blue slope which
winds its way down through the forest to Sixt fer-aCheval without even passing one lift. In a few minutes,
the ‘Grandes Platieres’ cable car takes skiers from 1600
mtrs to 2500mtrs, the highest point of the Grand Massif
and an awesome view of Mont Blanc.
The ‘Jampark’, is an area of the slopes dedicated to
snowboarders and freestylers with varying terrain and
jumps to keep even the most extreme happy. The whole
ski area benefits from great snow and an impressive
amount of sunshine

Le Centaure ****
The residence blends
into the mountains.
The concept of Le Centaure is to integrate with the
rest of Flaine and at the same time display a new and
contemporary architecture.
The building layout will consist of intertwined duplex
apartments allowing each balcony to be south facing
in order to benefit from stunning views of
the Mont Blanc mountain range.
The style of the construction will be determined
by a fusion of contemporary materials such as

glass and metal with traditional ones like stone
the heart
and wood. The welcoming reception will lead out
of the resort
onto a huge solarium terrace above the indoor
swimming pool. There will be lifts giving people
easy access to all levels.
The building will adhere to strict environmental quality
controls offering reduced running costs. Le Centaure is
close to the lifts and the commerce of Flaine Forum for
the ultimate in convenience. This is truly an exceptional
development in one of the most famous ski resorts

Construction is like art…
invest in quality
Some would say that this reunion between
Flaine and MGM was destined to happen,
both sharing a common passion for exceptional
architecture.
An unrivalled respect and love of the mountains
has always guided MGM’s selection of sites and
developments. Le Centaure is yet another
example
of
our
“savoir-faire”
and
experience of more than 40 years of
construction in the French Alps.
This new development is a new and exciting
challenge for MGM, the need to blend in with
the local environment and architecture of
the resort while keeping MGM’s identity is of

paramount importance.
MGM will mix traditional local materials such
as wood and stone with modern ones such as glass and
metals which will give Le Centaure a unique feel.
Here you will be investing in more than just real estate,
you will be investing in history, like with a fine piece of art
where the signature on the canvass is a guarantee.
