Their works, delicately hoisted into the air, stand at the top of the slopes like poetic sentinels watching over the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An open-air gallery born of a daring gamble<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea behind L'Art au Sommet was a crazy one: to install monumental works of art in the heart of the mountains, to be seen by those who glide, walk or stroll through the streets of Courchevel. It was a risky gamble. It has become an international success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>READ MORE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/new-gourmet-and-dance-addresses-coming-to-courchevel-this-winter-we-present-them-to-you\/\">New gourmet and dance addresses are coming to Courchevel this winter: here they are<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, this unique format has been home to exceptional works by Dal\u00ed, Folon, Jim\u00e9nez Deredia, Leo Caillard and Lorenzo Quinn. Art now mingles with the tracks of skis, the landscape and the hushed silence after a snowfall. Here, the exhibition is no longer contemplated, but experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">when the Trees of Life take root at altitude<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time, Andrea Roggi's iconic Trees of Life are rising from the summits of Courchevel. The sculpted bronze branches intertwine, stretch out, seek out the light... A work that seems to be in dialogue with the sky, as if the mountain itself were becoming an immense tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roggi's work can be seen at several key points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Terre d'Amour - Vizelle summit (2,659 m)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Srngar - Biollay summit (2,230 m)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Souffle d'Amour - 9 rue de l'\u00c9glise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00c9lan Infini &amp; Le Baiser Devient Lumi\u00e8re - Place du Tremplin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Il Potere dell'Amore - Snow front<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fecunditas - Place du Rocher<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With their mystical dimension, these sculptures are an extension of the natural verticality of the Alps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">the Voyageurs return to the Alps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruno Catalano's famous Voyageurs, whose incomplete silhouettes reveal a striking emptiness, are back in Courchevel. The cold, white light, stone fa\u00e7ades and snow-covered slopes amplify their poetic power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>READ MORE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/two-hotels-are-about-to-reopen-in-courchevel-we-want-you-to-discover-them\/\">Two sumptuous hotels are about to (re)open in Courchevel: here's how to (re)discover them<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The sculpted openings, the artist's signature, create windows onto the landscape.
