Frequently Asked Questions

1 - How do I get to the centre from the Aime railway station?

Easy: the SNCF station and the bus station are part of the same building. The Bérard bus company runs a regular service to the station (every half hour or so). Get off at "Plagne centre", and then take the underground walkway which leads you to the France centre.

2 - Can I get a picnic to take with me onto the pistes?

Yes, you can, from Monday to Friday. However, you will probably quickly prefer the large south-facing terrace at the centre - at 2000m altitude, it's in the centre of the pistes, and you can enjoy the sunshine while having lunch here with your friends.

3 - Can we arrive the night before the holiday begins?

Yes, it's possible, but not necessarily in every case. You will need to contact the centre early on in the season and, if it's possible, make a reservation for an extra night plus dinner if it can be provided.

4 - Will it be possible to taste some of the region's culinary specialities?

The chef and his team will have you discover some and will even share the recipes (if you really insist)!
