BARDONECCHIA, 2025

Bardonecchia flies under the radar compared to a lot of Italian resorts, but it’s got 100km of quiet runs weaving through a pine forest – not to mention, it hosted the snowboarding events at the 2006 Winter Olympics. There are two nursery zones at either end of town, so beginners won’t have far to go for lessons no matter where you’re staying. And for anyone comfy on the slopes already, most of the mountain is made up of blues and reds. If tricks are your thing, you won’t want to miss the Olympic snow park and halfpipe. This is a year-round town rather than just a ski resort, so it might not have that typical alpine look but there’s lots going on. The food especially is a highlight, with lots of restaurants dishing up traditional recipes made with local produce – like cajette, a kind of gnocchi made with Piedmont potatoes, and gofri waffles stuffed with anything from cheese to chocolate. It’s also a popular place for families so there’s plenty of other activities to do while you’re here, from tubing, ice skating and snowshoeing to the 1km-long alpine coaster. One of the best resorts for families in the area. Lots of its accommodation is close to the lifts and has family facilities, the ski school is easy to get to and there’s plenty to do off the slopes.
