La Plagne valley supermarkets
Stock up before heading uphill
If you are driving to La Plagne, staying longer or doing a season, a larger shop in the valley can be worth considering. Locals, saisonniers and chalet staff often use valley stores for a broader choice and to compare prices with the resort supermarkets.
Without a car, Aime is the most practical valley town to investigate from the altitude villages, using the valley bus service. Include the fare, return timetable and time carrying groceries when deciding whether the trip works for you. Our cash machine guide also helps if you need euros.

We only feature products and services we’ve used and genuinely recommend.
Aime-la-Plagne supermarkets
E.Leclerc at Z.A. des Îles is a confirmed full-size supermarket option before the climb to the altitude villages. Its official listing also includes fuel, a cash machine, a parapharmacy and vehicle rental.
The other supermarket near the town centre is listed as Casino, at 54 impasse du Pré Roux / avenue de Tarentaise. Check the current store information before making a dedicated trip.
Do not assume either shop is a short walk with heavy bags from the train or bus station. Check your chosen stop and route on the map, or arrange a taxi. Bus journey times depend on the village, service, traffic and weather; consult the current timetable rather than relying on a fixed journey time.

Ready for your next mountain day?
From gentle warm-up runs to longer days exploring La Plagne, comfortable boots and a suitable setup make a difference. Compare the live hire offers and choose a collection point near your accommodation.
Featured hire: Belle Plagne. Choose the shop that works best for where you are staying.
Why compare valley and resort prices?
A larger valley shop may offer better value for a self-catering group, although the saving depends on your basket and transport costs. Mountain shops are convenient for top-ups and save a trip away from your holiday.
Transport up the mountain, seasonal trading and the cost of operating in resort all help explain why prices can differ. Avoid assuming one chain is always cheapest: compare the products you actually need.
This is relevant across the Tarentaise resorts, including La Plagne, Les Arcs and the resorts around Moûtiers. Guests in all-inclusive accommodation may need little more than snacks.
Albertville supermarkets
Albertville is a useful shopping stop if it lies on your route. Confirmed options include Aldi at 1051 chemin de la Cassine and Lidl at 70 rue René Cassin. Compare their location and opening hours with your driving route rather than assuming they are directly beside it.

A little planning for peace of mind
Before your trip, check how your policy deals with mountain rescue, medical treatment and getting you home. Cover varies, so read the wording and choose protection suited to your plans.
Moûtiers supermarkets
Carrefour Market at ZI Les Salines is a supermarket option in the Moûtiers area. Check the turn-off and access before leaving the main route.
If you are heading to Champagny, compare a stop around Moûtiers with the shops on your onward route. A detour that is convenient for one valley may make little sense for another.
Bourg-Saint-Maurice supermarkets
Bourg-Saint-Maurice has Lidl, Intermarché and Super U options. Lidl is at 377 avenue Maréchal Leclerc and Intermarché is in the Le Mollard area. U Drive offers a collection service; check the store’s ordering and collection arrangements before travelling.
For Les Arcs visitors, the funicular between Arc 1600 and Bourg can make valley shopping practical, but allow time to reach the actual shop and check operating hours. From La Plagne, Bourg is beyond the Aime turn-off for the altitude villages, so consider the extra driving before choosing it.

A visit to another nearby ski area can also be combined with shopping. Check road conditions before travelling.
