Planning a sidetrip here from the Maurienne in January, so any advice or tips appreciated. We are staying in Melezet, and enjoy a mix of on and off piste. Thanks

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Melezet is the quietest and, in my opinion, the best end of Bardonnechia. The Bosco drag, and also the Seba drag, won't always be open right after snowfall but keep checking because in january you will have the pistes almost to yourself.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thank you. The quest is for empty slopes as we have found even the smaller French resorts getting crowded in January.

You will have to pay to go through the Frejus tunnel.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Just spent 2 days over there. Lot of snow!!! All the slopes open even under snowfall
There are 3 different areas Colomion, Melezet and Jafferau
Melezet and Colomion are very well connected.
In Melezet there is the Olympic Run which is quite challenging
the other area is called Jafferau which you have to use a shuttle to get there
for Apre Ski: Harald's at Campo Smith\
Have Fun

Oh I think get a bus to the other end skiing in Jaffrau. Nice angles, less people and better snow IMHO. Also try the train station cafe for a 3 course bargain lunch and best quality in the village. Had a great time there.

Coldest I have ever been whilst skiing was up on Jafferau. Felt like I had an ice cold knife piercing my forehead; sooo painful. Hardly anyone up there as @kezzy19661 says.
I enjoyed Bardonecchia though the lessons I took were not the best.

Thanks for replies; we are staying at the Pigna, 10m from the Melezet lift, b and b, very good value, with a day in Montgenevre. True ski in/out!
