Bourg-Saint-Maurice

Located at 744 meters elevation in Savoie department, Bourg-Saint-Maurice functions as the final town along the Tarentaise Valley in the French Alps.

The settlement was formerly known as Bergintrum, serving as a crucial point on the Gallic side of Alpes Graiae between Mediolanum and Vienna.

The commune maintains two religious buildings on its main streets: a Catholic church on Grande Rue and a Protestant church on Avenue Maréchal Leclerc.

The Arc en Ciel funicular railway provides direct transportation from the town center to Arc 1600 ski area throughout the winter season.

During the French Revolution from 1794 to 1815, local authorities changed the name of the commune to Nargue-Sarde, reflecting political transformations.
