Piemonte: Bardonecchia
Bardonecchia
is a fabulous ski resort located in the Val di Susa. It is often
called the home of Italian skiing. All levels of skiing are available
here. Bardonecchia connects with France via the Frejus Tunnel.
The old town or Borgo Vecchio is at the top of town (the
upper area) and is very picturesque – quaint and charming.
The architecture of the houses here is traditional (of wood and
stone). The Chiesa di San Ippolito (16th century)
has a beautiful baptismal font from the 16th century
and a Romanesque campanile/bell tower. The Borgo Nuovo
or new town has all the attractions a ski resort "should" have
and then some. The town is wonderful to visit year round and many
activities are available to the touring folks. The setting alone
makes it worth a visit – you’ll really like the town(s).
