Major

France

Skiers bound for La Plagne leave the train at Aime-la-Plagne, a station in the Tarentaise valley of Savoie carrying UIC code 8774176. The line from Chambéry to Bourg-Saint-Maurice runs along the floor of the valley, and the resorts occupy the slopes above, reached by road or cable car from the valley stations. Traffic is strongly seasonal: additional services, including trains from northern Europe, are timetabled on winter Saturdays, while summer use is comparatively light. The town of Aime preserves an eleventh-century Romanesque basilica, one of the older buildings in the upper Tarentaise. The station stands at roughly 45.55 degrees north, 6.65 degrees east, in a valley that also carried the 1992 Winter Olympic events.
