Sights in La Plagne — 3 of Our Favourites

Set in a gallery with several rooms, the cave houses spectacular sculptures carved directly into the ice.

Accessible to pedestrians and skiers, one can discover the distinctly different layers of ice and the colours of the glacial world.

A giant iguana, marmots, birds of prey and even giant flowers lurk in the bowels of the glacier. At 0°C whatever the external conditions, the ice caves remain constant. 

The largest national park in France, it's a haven for all sorts of wildlife as well as a magnet for outdoor sports enthusiasts. It's well worth a visit at any time of year - access is free and it's open year-round.

Before La Plagne was a ski resort it was a mining town, and part of that history is also captured in the museum. A former main church, this museum was founded by Pierre Borrione, a doctor and mayor of Aime who was possionate about preserving the numerous relics from his town's past. 

Temporary exhibits on the themes of history and archaeology run throughout the summer.
