Bardonecchia ski information
Nestled in a sunny corner of the Susa Valley, Bardonecchia’s slopes suit all levels, ranging from wide nursery slopes to challenging black runs. A ski bus service links the lifts across the resort, which has seen investment following the 2006 Winter Olympics, when the resort played host to the snowboarding events.

Ski Information Beginners
Melezet and Campo Smith both have extensive beginners areas and with guidance from the friendly ski school first time skiers are soon progressing to the higher long blue runs at Colomion and Melezet.
Ski Information Intermediates
The ski areas of Melezet and Colomion are linked by a series of magnificent long red and blue runs with several blacks to get the blood racing. The Fisi 50 from Colomion is a World Cup race run and was also an Olympic run in 2006! Take the free ski bus to the Jafferau area where a long double chairlift rises to 1922 metres.
Ski Information Advanced
Excellent off-piste skiing for the more experienced skier. High on Jafferau there are wide open bowls with bumps, jumps and gullies above the treeline. Heli-skiing is available for off-piste skiing behind Melezet.
Ski Information Snowboarding
Freeriders will find the wide open terrain great for a cruise, however the many drag lifts might prove a challenge for complete beginners. The more thrill seeking boarders can try out the Olympic half pipe or head to the board park.
