Bardonecchia

Located in a sunny valley on the border with France, two of its three ski areas are interlinked opening up a large area across two separate mountains. It has grown from an authentic Italian town into a bustling ski resort with minimal weekday lift queues and a lively weekend atmosphere. Bardonecchia was somewhat overlooked until the 2006 Turin Olympics brought investment to the town and raised its profile as a great value beginner and intermediate destination.
