Bardonecchia - village

The centre of Bardonnechia is fairly compact, with many of the restaurants, bars and shops centred around Via Medail. Surrounding the centre is a network of quiet residential streets, shaded by large trees.

Campo Smith is the hub of the town’s ski area and the focus of many visitors’ stay, with hotels, restaurants, bars, ski schools and rental shops all located within walking distance of the lifts.
