Very nice high and very chic home of the red racing team.

tomb, spent a week in Bardonecchia 3 years ago. Small ski area, nicely enlarged if you hop on the short bus ride over to Jafferau mountain, which is quieter. We enjoyed the piste layout though there is a short icy bottleneck on the return to Campo Smith base. Some very nice runs through trees and easy blue routes over to the 2006 Olympic runs.
For Après, we stayed in the town and bussed it daily to the slopes, so we were able to enjoy a few of the town bars and restaurants. Food was reasonable and very good. Bars were not exactly buzzing but fine for a few drinks, I think there was a nice wine bar near the church. Re eating on the mountain, avoid the restaurant at the foot of Campo Smith base which is busy and not very reasonable. There are some better options uphill.
I enjoyed Bardonecchia on only my third week ever skiing, and have often thought I would like to go back. Hope this helps.

We're off there the week after (flying out 6th Jan) - really looking forward to it & watching the web cams daily to see the snow build up!! Have read some mixed reviews though :/
If anyone has experience of the ski schools there we'd appreciate the input - will probably look to book one or two mornings of private lessons.
@ tomb - post a couple of updates while you're there to let us know what's good & what to avoid!!
