Take the D220 to the N90: it’s 32 km from La Plagne to Bourg‑Saint‑Maurice, dropping past Aime’s orchards before climbing the seven hairpins to Les Arcs. Big valley views, a clear line on the Mont Pourri at 3,779 m, and the glacial steps that shape the upper Tarentaise. You cross the other half of Paradiski to read Charlotte Perriand’s mountain modernism at Arcs 1600 and 1800—tilted façades for winter sun, low‑slung blocks that spare the ridge.
From there, the pace is yours: hotel pick‑up, a Mercedes at your disposal, and flexible stops. In Bourg‑Saint‑Maurice with your private driver in Savoie, browse the Wednesday or Saturday market for tomme and crozets, then compare summer‑pasture and winter Beaufort at the dairy. While the driving is taken care of, you walk the Arc 1800 gallery, step out to the Cachette viewpoint, and loop back via Aime to see the Romanesque Basilica of Saint‑Martin, 11th–12th century with 19th‑century retouching.
