Mairie de Bourg Saint Maurice - Les Arcs

What Mairie de Bourg Saint Maurice - Les Arcs does

Mairie de Bourg Saint Maurice - Les Arcs is a French municipal commune (government entity) located in the Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, administering both the town of Bourg Saint Maurice and the Les Arcs ski resort, a premier destination connected to the Paradiski ski domain. The commune operates from a headquarters in Bourg Saint Maurice (Place Marcel Gaimard) with an annex office in Les Arcs, and is staffed by 58 municipal employees delivering civil status services, urban planning, education, social services, public safety, and tourism administration across a territory supporting approximately 5,253 jobs and 961 registered businesses.

The commune's revenue model rests on municipal taxation and fees, including a tourist tax (Taxe de séjour) ranging from 0.22€ to 4€ per adult per night across accommodation tiers, property tax exemptions for energy efficiency improvements, business licenses, market fees, and administrative service fees. It delivers citizen-facing digital products including the Pass'Pass multi-activity card system for youth and seniors (with family-quotient-based pricing from 25€ to 225€), the Budget Participatif platform allocating 100,000€ annually to citizen-proposed projects, a digital Signalement complaint system, SMS alert subscriptions, and online administrative procedures, all built on a TYPO3 CMS-based platform.

The commune operates Les Arcs Bourg Saint Maurice Tourisme as a wholly-owned EPIC subsidiary (created 2009) for tourism promotion and is currently executing major capital projects: the Quartier des Alpins urban renewal (380 housing units across 9 hectares), a 13M€ district heating network (77% renewable wood energy, 4.6 km extension, 35+ buildings) developed with Idex Group, and a multimodal exchange hub in partnership with CCHT. Its competitive position is anchored by the Flocon Vert sustainability label (only French ski station with 2 flocons), heritage recognition for Arc 1600 and 1800 architecture, and France-first glacier protection convention, with regulatory authority over local planning and tourism operations as a municipal government.

Direct peers

• Mairie de La Plagne: Savoie ski-resort commune operating the La Plagne destination within Paradiski (the same ski area as Les Arcs). Directly comparable in scale, governance, taxe de séjour mechanics, and tourism-EPIC structure.
