About the area

Bardonecchia is a mid-sized Piedmont area of about 35 km of piste, and the split explains who it works for: roughly 1 km green and 16 km blue, so 48% of the terrain (17 km) is easy or easy-intermediate, against 17 km red and just 2 km black (4%). That makes it a solid choice for beginners, with two magic carpets for first turns and 13 short easy runs sitting next to a lift base. Intermediates get the biggest share of the skiing on the reds. Experts will find little here: 2 km of black terrain and a maximum vertical on one run of 474 m. Families can ski it, though the beginner infrastructure is limited to those two carpets.

Fifteen lifts serve the area — seven chairlifts, six platters and two magic carpets — covering 1,273 m to 2,383 m. The longest run measures 2,192 m. With a base at 1,273 m, snow conditions low down depend on the season.
