Aime La Plagne, or Aime 2000, sits at 2,100m and is one of the highest purpose-built resorts in the Alps. Its distinctive pointy-topped building houses most of the self-catering apartments along with shops, restaurants and ski services. With ski-in, ski-out access to the Paradiski area, beginner zones, blues and reds, plus spectacular valley and Mont Blanc views, it’s perfect for those chasing sun on their balcony and easy access to the slopes, as well as a small lively nightlife scene.
Aime La Plagne - Aime 2000
The highest inhabited part of La Plagne with unique landmark buildings, ski-in, ski-out convenience and stunning views
Belle Plagne sits at 2,050m just above Plagne Bellecôte and is one of the most attractive villages in La Plagne. The centre is pedestrianised and full of traditional wood, stone and slate buildings, giving you a real feeling of being immersed in the mountains.
Most accommodation is chalet style, and the wide, family-friendly blues surrounding the village give easy access to beginner areas, snow gardens and lifts to the rest of the resort. With shops, ski services, restaurants, bars and even a bowling alley, Belle Plagne has everything you need for a fun and convenient stay.
It’s especially popular with families thanks to its quiet atmosphere and easy access to the wider La Plagne ski area, as well as the Vanoise Express link to Les Arcs. Snow is generally guaranteed, making it a perfect base for both skiing and soaking up the scenery.
