Bardonecchia

Bardonecchia combines the energy of an Alpine resort with the frontier character of a rail-linked mountain town, reflecting its position in the upper Susa Valley near the French border. Set where the Rho and Fréjus streams meet to form the Dora di Bardonecchia, it is enclosed by the Cottian Alps and has long been shaped by routes through this part of the range. The Italian portal of the Fréjus Rail Tunnel, opened in 1871, is part of a historic rail connection between Italy and France. Winter sport remains central to local life: Bardonecchia hosted snowboarding events during the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics, while summer draws walkers and cyclists into the surrounding valleys.
