A brief overview
Bardonecchia is best described as a taste of real, modern Italy
coupled with an excellent ski area. It's one of those places in the Alps where
you can experience both a working, bustling town and great skiing. As the
furore of the Winter Olympics dies down, the legacy of the event is evident in
the fantastic purpose built accommodation, a perfectly shaped half pipe, a
brand new terrain park, and the chance for you to ride and ski the same runs as
the Olympians, not to mention the ever improving lift systems. Far from being
an experts only venue, Bardonecchia has a caring ski school that is passionate
about teaching those first turns on skis.
