Aiton (Savoyard: Éton)[3] is a commune in the Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France.
Aiton stands at the crossroads of the Maurienne and Tarentaise valleys, marking the transition between the foothills of the Combe de Savoie and the Alps proper. The Arc and Isère rivers have their confluence just downstream from Aiton, at the Pont Royal.
