Aime la Plagne, 7000 years of history

Aime has been inhabited since the Middle Iron Age. The city of the Ceutrones was situated on the French section of the road linking Milan to Vienna, that goes over the Petit Saint Bernard pass. In the 1st century BC, it was known as Axima, the capital of the Graian Alps. Many excavations bear witness to this glorious past. The builders of the year 1000 have left their mark in the town with Saint Martin’s Basilica, a jewel of early Roman art. In the Middle Ages, the town was administered by the Montmayeurs, a branch of the Briançon-Aigueblanche family, Viscounts of the Tarentaise. Find out more about them by visiting their chateau!

Les villages au cœur de la vallée

Le territoire de La Plagne Vallée se composent à la fois de villages en coeur de vallée bordant l'Isère et de villages perchées s'étendant sur les pentes du Versant du Soleil.

Ils dominent la vallée de la Tarentaise, faisant face au sommet de la Vanoise et au domaine skiable de La Plagne. Tous sont d'architecture typiquement savoyarde, l'habitat groupé autour de leur église, garde un cachet ancien relié par des ruelles étroites.

Une montagne de traditions vous accueille sur le versant du soleil, laissez vous guider par la magie de la découverte des villages anciens, des vignes et vergers, des forêts, des alpages, des lacs de montagne, des voies d'escalade... Ces sites n'attendent que vous !
