Cell towers in Aix-les-Bains (Savoie)

Masts stand at 7 Chem des Tourterelles, 1 boulevard Berthollet, Les Combaruches, avenue Président Roosevelt, boulevard Généraux Forestier and Parking du Cinema les Toiles du Lac.

2 masts belong to the commune itself and 1 to Totem; the rest sit mainly on private buildings.

Systems from 1995 are still on the register. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in December 2020; SFR followed in August 2021, Bouygues Telecom followed in August 2021. 2016 was the busiest year, with 46 new systems, most of them 4G.

Approved additions not yet in service are pending on 3 existing masts, for example Orange (4G 2600 MHz) at 7 Chem des Tourterelles, Orange (5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 49 avenue du Grand Port and Orange (4G 700 MHz) at 1 boulevard Berthollet. 8 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (8 of 13), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 45 m at 29 Boulevard Domenget.

Only one mast carries all four networks; 4 supports carry only Orange.

Among the 18 Savoie towns with at least five masts, Aix-les-Bains ranks 8th by mast count. With 13 masts for 32,406 residents, or 4 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (25).

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Free Mobile on all 6 masts, Orange on 6 of its 7 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 4 of its 5 masts and SFR on 4 of its 5 masts.

11 km to the south, neighbouring La Motte-Servolex has only 9 masts.

At 16 km² with 32,406 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the CA Grand Lac intercommunal grouping.

Most of the town's 13 masts are buildings (8).

Figures above cover installations declared to ANFR as in service or technically operational, as of October 2026; approved projects are not counted.
