Moleson Sur Gruyeres, Switzerland
The mountain resort of Moléson sur Gruyères is located in the Fribourg region of the Swiss Alps above the town of Bulle. The resort is 60 kilometers from Lausanne and 70 kilometers from the Bern airport.
In conjunction with the proposed Moléson village redevelopment, numerous renovations to the ski area immediately adjacent to the village are planned. The mountain developments proposed in Phases 1 and 2 would increase the daily skier capacity of the Moléson sur Gruyères winter facilities by 38%, up to 2,820 skiers per day.
The purpose of the village concept for the Moléson-sur-Gruyères Resort is to create a social and commercial center that provides recreational opportunities and commercial space serving guests and skiers in the winter season, as well as the summer season. Most recreational and commercial amenities are concentrated in the village to create critical mass and make the village more vibrant. A spread out approach for the amenities would likely weaken the attraction of the village as the hub of the resort. The village covers the whole development zone in the base area that is within skier walking distance and uphill of the new access road. A high development density has been realized with this concept, while staying inside the zoning boundaries in most areas, with the exception of the village access road. There are a total of 349 units proposed, with 1,158 beds in the new village development, plus 416 beds in the parcel below the village.
