Ski hire Plagne Aime 2000

At an altitude of 2,100m, above the Tarentaise valley, Plagne Aime 2000 stands as a unique viewpoint facing Mont Blanc. From this promontory, you can access the vast Paradiski area, linked with Les Arcs and Peisey-Vallandry, in just a few rotations. The location is ideal for alternating between high-altitude ridges, wide blue boulevards, and wooded returns depending on the day's weather. All week long, you can organize escapes to the domain's villages: spend a day in Plagne Centre for an urban pace, cruise on the Plagne Bellecôte side before a break in the sun, discover Belle Plagne for its wood-and-stone chalets, or glide down to Les Coches and Montchavin to take the Vanoise Express towards Les Arcs.

Resort Identity 

Born in the 1970s, Aime 2000 built its iconic silhouette around a liner-shaped building that aligns shops, services, and covered galleries—an architectural choice designed for high-altitude living. Today, the resort combines this modernist identity with wooded extensions and clear pedestrian paths. The atmosphere is sporty yet relaxed: you put on your skis just meters from the residences, enjoy a magnificent view, and alternate between terraces and panoramas. The altitude of the snow front (≈ 2,100m) guarantees rapid access to the area's cold lines, while connections to neighboring villages offer legible returns in the late afternoon.

Detailed Ski Area 

Paradiski boasts around 425km of runs between 1,250m and over 3,200m, with a very dense network of lifts. Around La Plagne, there are over a hundred lifts and several hundred runs of all levels. From Aime 2000, you quickly climb in altitude to roll down panoramic blues, then switch according to exposure towards regular reds that invite smooth carving. The multiple orientations help you "choose" your snow: cold sectors in mid-winter, sunny slopes in spring, protective tree lines if the light fades.

The connections are the site's other strength: towards Plagne Centre to radiate outwards, towards Plagne 1800 to find the larches, or towards Plagne Bellecôte which efficiently serves Belle Plagne and high-altitude itineraries. Widening the scope further, the Peisey-Vallandry ↔ Les Arcs crossing via the Vanoise Express opens up wide-angle terrain: you can, for example, aim for a panoramic lunch at Arc 2000 and then return via the balconies of La Plagne when the light becomes low.

Must-Ski Runs 

Easy. Initiation zones near the lifts offer progressive gradients, reassuring width, and very clear returns. Motivating mid-week goal: a long balcony blue, steady, ideal for stabilizing balance and turn initiation without tensing up. In changeable weather, prioritize sections near the tree lines—visual comfort guaranteed.

Intermediate. This is the "signature" level of Aime 2000: blues and reds with constant gradients where you work on edge hold and precision. Loop idea: warm-up above the snow front, switch to Plagne Centre for a balcony diagonal, terrace break, then gentle return via more sheltered profiles. On cold days, aim for north orientations; on spring afternoons, favor sunny exposures.

Advanced. With generous visibility, high-altitude lines display more character: steeper gradients, changes of pace, firmer snow in the morning. The day after snowfall, the edges of the run sometimes keep a pleasant powdery cushion; however, stay on marked terrain if the wind picks up. To vary pleasures during the week, you can aim for Belle Plagne and its access to high bowls, or stretch to Les Arcs for a grand crossing before a "sunset" return towards Aime 2000.

Guided Freeride. When stability is there, certain tree lines and bowls near the domain allow for beautiful guided interludes. Go out equipped (transceiver, shovel, probe), accompanied by a professional, and adapt the itinerary to the day's bulletins. The advantage of Aime 2000: multiplying orientations to target the best preserved powder.

Non-Ski Activities

The resort is also enjoyed without skis. Around the snow front, marked pedestrian paths and snowshoe itineraries wind between viewpoints and clearings. Families enjoy fun areas (tobogganing, themed beginner zones), while others opt for a wellness break (spa, sauna, pools) before dinner. Want to change the atmosphere? You can make an escape to Plagne Soleil/Village for sun-drenched terraces, or go down to Champagny-en-Vanoise to discover its preserved valley setting.

Family Stay 

Here, everything is designed for traveling "light": short paths, legible resort returns, and well-identified beginner zones. Little ones switch from the magic carpet to the first greens in a few sessions, then treat themselves to a balcony blue by the end of the week. Teens alternate a "technical" morning and a crossing towards Plagne Bellecôte or Plagne 1800, just to compare exposures and atmospheres. Logistical tip: group the whole tribe's equipment at the same address and choose accommodation as close as possible to a departure point to streamline the first morning.

Access & Transport 

By road, head up the valley to Bourg-Saint-Maurice then Aime, before the climb to the high resort; in mid-winter, snow tires or chains are strongly recommended for the final hairpin bends. By train, Bourg-Saint-Maurice is the natural gateway, with road connections to La Plagne. On the air side, Geneva and Lyon, complemented by Chambéry depending on origin, offer the most coherent options. Once there, the compactness of the districts and shuttles make getting around simple, often on foot.

Ski Hire with Snowrental

Booking your equipment via Snowrental simplifies the start of your stay. The process is clear: choice of range (versatile piste, all-mountain, freeride, freestyle, junior), entering measurements (height, weight, shoe size, level) for precise settings, then selection of the most practical shop relative to your accommodation (gallery, residence, snow front). Fleets are maintained (sharpening, waxing, checking), and it is generally possible to adjust the category during the week depending on conditions (cold snow, spring mildness, fresh powder).

Presentation of Snowrental Advantages

Beyond the online rate, the major asset lies in partner addresses well-located between the snow front and residences: pickup at the right place, expert advice, and the possibility to pop back during the day to refine a flex, change a length, or optimize a liner. Anticipating the booking means securing sizes and models during very busy periods, and starting the first morning with peace of mind. For a "mobile" week, the platform also allows you to easily compare villages in the same massif: organize a loop via Plagne Centre, plan for Belle Plagne, or head to Peisey-Vallandry before returning to dinner at Aime 2000.

Snowrental Shops in Plagne Aime 2000

• Skiset Plagne 2000 (rés. Aime 2000) — Commercial gallery, practical for skiing early and dropping by at the end of the day.

Events & Local Gastronomy

All winter long, the resort offers gear tests, torchlight descents, family entertainment, and friendly gatherings on the snow front. At the table, Savoy tells its story generously: crozets, diots, tommes and beauforts, polenta, and alpine specialties. At lunch, head for a viewpoint terrace; on return, stroll under the galleries of Aime 2000 for a snack or a drink before designing tomorrow's loop. Mid-week, many treat themselves to a "comparative": lunch at Plagne Soleil/Village or a trip to Arc 2000 if the sky is clearer there.

FAQ

When to come to enjoy beautiful conditions? The period generally extends from December to April. The staging of the domain (≈ 1,250–3,250m) and the diversity of exposures help find cold snow in mid-winter; in spring, aim for altitude in the morning then return to the tree lines for gentle gliding.

Where to pick up my equipment depending on my accommodation? Think proximity. Around the main gallery, Skiset Plagne 2000 (rés. Aime 2000) is an obvious choice; if you arrive by Telemétro, Altitude Aime 2000 is just within reach; on the residence side, Skiset Les Hauts Bois will be the most practical.

Can we dedicate a day to another sector without complicating organization? Yes. Depending on inspiration, you can head towards Plagne Centre, go down to Bellecôte, go up to Belle Plagne, or dash via the Vanoise Express towards Peisey-Vallandry and Arc 2000.

Which zones to prioritize to progress serenely? Start with the beginner areas (width, gentle slope), follow up with a balcony blue to stabilize your stance, then try a regular gradient red when confidence is there. Adjust exposure to wind and light to maintain a homogeneous texture all day.

What type of skis to choose? "Versatile piste" if you rack up kilometers, "all-mountain" to alternate between groomed runs and edges, "freeride" on powder days (with pro guidance and transceiver/shovel/probe). Indicate height, weight, and shoe size precisely when booking for the most accurate workshop setting.

How to optimize a short stay? Anticipate the booking, choose a shop close to your accommodation, and aim for a warm-up right at opening time. Keep a half-day for a panoramic crossing (Aime 2000 → Plagne Centre → altitude), then finish with a hushed return under the ridges before a relaxing evening.
