Agema Construction general contractor for the project
The teams atAgema Construction, as general contractorhas been working since August 2024 to transform the Chamois d'OrThis ambitious project involves extending the 3-star hotel in Méribel (73), at the heart of the 3 Vallées, the largest ski area in the world. This ambitious project involves extending the hotel with 17 new rooms spread over three levels, each with a private balcony. Here's a look back at the three main stages of this remarkable project.
Stage 1: Site launch and preparatory work
An ambitious extension
Following an in-depth feasibility study and the production of plans, work on the extension began in August 2024. The project includes :
- 5 bedrooms on the ground floor,
- 6 bedrooms on the first floor (R+1),
- 6 bedrooms on the second floor (R+2).
With a total surface area of 360 m², each room will feature a private balcony, guaranteeing future guests a breathtaking view of the mountains.
A technical project
Located at an altitude of 1,600 m, the hotel is on a slope at the foot of the slopes. To ensure the stability of the foundations, the teams carried out deep earthworks to achieve a frost-free foundation, thus avoiding any risk of landslides.
Given the tight deadlines, the worksite is following a precise schedule: this initial phase had to be completed before the slopes opened, scheduled for 7 December 2024. The waterproofing of the building, essential before the onset of winter, was successfully completed.
Step 2: Meeting the time challenge
A race against time
In ski resorts, weather conditions and precise deadlines dictate the pace of the work. For the Chamois d'Or, the teams from Agema Construction, the general contractor, had just three months to deliver the 17 new rooms before the winter season opened.
In October 2024, the under-roofing was successfully installed using 2 m x 8 m prefabricated panels fixed to 15 m long structural purlins. This technical and meticulous work protected the site from the elements.
Winter safety
Before the snow arrived, the teams proceeded to make the building watertight and safe for winter storage. The aim was clear: to enable the hotel to open for the winter season while preparing for the rest of the works scheduled for 2025.
Stage 3: Towards full completion in 2025
A project completed on time
Despite technical and climatic constraints, the hotel managed to open its doors for the winter season. The Agema Construction teams completed this phase with the dismantling of the crane and the complete cleaning of the site.
Finishing work to come
The ski season ends on 22 April 2025, after which the teams will work on the finishing touches:
- Installation of external joinery,
- Under-roof cladding with slate,
- Installation of wood cladding on the upper floors,
- Natural stone facade finish.
Final delivery is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025, marking the completion of this project.
