Villages and Vanoise

Aime, a real poem

In the heart of the Tarentaise valley, halfway between Moutiers and Bourg Saint-Maurice and close to la Plagne you will discover a pleasant town: Aime

Since several millenniums, due to its position, its relief, Aime attracted and welcomed the first tribes. They found in this generous nature a way of life, and put the genealogical roots of the future dynasties aimeraines. Today, Aime lives between water, forests, mountain pastures, mountains, tradition and modernity. Aime is also a mix of services, shops.

Raise your head, you will also see sundials. Aime lives with the sound of music. Every Thursday takes place a free concert on the open-air theater, in addition of varied entertainments, exhibitions and games...

In Aime, each member of the family can find its activity (leisure activities, sports, relaxing activities...)
