Bardonecchia

With 100km of pistes and a raft of improvements for the 2006 Winter Olympics โ€“ it hosted the freestyle events โ€“ Bardonecchia is a great alternative to the nearby Milky Way.

  • Two mountains extend up from either side of the valley town of Bardonecchia.

    Jafferau is higher and more snowsure, with most of the best terrain well above 2000m โ€“ terrain suited best to intermediates. There is a free bus between the city and Jafferau. The Colomion side of the valley was the hill that hosted the freestyle events at the 2006 Turin Olympics and you can still ride the Olympic halfpipe at Melezet. This area of varied slopes has better variety as it is home to the best beginner zones, as well as some steeper challenges and some very accessible off piste towards the summit.

    Pros and cons

    • Two varied mountains and a lot of wood-lined trails
    • Chance to ride the Olympic halfpipe and stay in the Olympic Village accommodation
    • Usually very nice and quiet during the week
    • However, it can get busy with weekend skiers from Turin
    • Bus trip required to switch between the two ski areas
    • Snow is not that reliable here, despite decent snowmaking

    On the Slopes

    Much of the resortโ€™s terrain lies on the Colomion sector. At the base there is a good learning area, whilst lying above this is a network of pretty, tree- lined slopes that are well covered by snowmaking to make up for their relatively low altitude. By continuing to ski left you will find the freestyle zone used in the Winter Olympics โ€“ if youโ€™re brave enough the halfpipe is well worth giving a go! The smaller Jafferau ski area extends to the resortโ€™s high point of 2694m, although a short hike can get you right up to the summit. This area is suited to intermediate skiers, who will certainly enjoy the long reds and blues above the treeline โ€“ just watch out as the return run can be tricky at the end of the day.

    Bardonecchia is a decent sized town that does lack a little bit of ski resort atmosphere. That being said, access from Turin is very easy (there is a direct train from the centre to the resort), accommodation is very reasonably priced and there is a good range of restaurants serving good Piedmont food.

    In the Resort

    There are plenty of hotels to choose from, many of which offer great value rooms โ€“ especially during the week. Many are centred around the town centre and train station, but the old Olympic Village or the hotels at the foot of the halfpipe in Melezet provide good alternatives.

    Food in the valley and up on the hill is of a good standard, with Italian specialities dominating menus across the resort, all for reasonable prices. Away from the slopes, there are over 20km of groomed cross country trails to explore, 12km of marked and prepared shoeshoeing routes and an ice rink.

    Getting to Bardonecchia

    Bardonecchia is well connected to nearby Turin, with a brand new motorway installed along the length of the Val de Susa in time for the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics, which saw some events staged in Via Lattea. As a result, transfer times can be as little as 40 minutes from Turin Airport. Regular train services run from Turin & Turin Airport along the valley, stopping at Bardonecchia.

    Via Lattea has offered discounts on lift passes in previous years for arriving in the resort by train, although this promotion has not been confirmed as running for the 2024/25 – keep an eye on the Via Lattea website for more details. Since late 2023, the railway line between Italy and France via Modane and Grenoble has been shut owing to a landslide near Modane. As a result, international TGV and Frecchiarossa services have been unable to serve the Via Lattea, and will continue to do so until “at least early 2025”. It is recommend to plan your travel carefully to avoid this disruption.

    • Turin Airport: <1hr
    • Milan Malpensa: 2hrs
    • Bardonecchia station, from Paris: 4.5hrs (line currently closed until “early 2025” owing to a landslip)
