Piste map of Bardonecchia
The piste map of Bardonecchia shows how the ski area is split into two distinct sectors on either side of the village centre, linked via the centre of the village rather than by lifts higher up. The western sector has steeper sections further up towards the top stations, while the eastern side is dominated by wider, gentler pistes closer to the valley. Beginners will find their way most easily by sticking to the lower slopes near the village, while the more demanding sections and the park facilities are concentrated around the upper lifts on one side.

How to ski in Bardonecchia
Bardonecchia is built around the village centre, and the ski area splits into two sectors on either side of the town. Beginners and families are best off keeping to the eastern side, where the pistes are wider and gentler as they run down towards the valley. From here it is a short trip from the village at 1 312 metres, and you avoid mixing with the faster traffic higher up.
The more demanding terrain is found on the western side, where the pistes become considerably steeper the higher up towards the top stations you go. This is also where most of the red and black sections and the park facilities are concentrated, with the highest point up at 2 800 metres.
The two sectors are not connected by lifts higher up; instead you move between them by passing through the village centre. That means a day on the slopes often ends up divided into two sessions rather than one continuous circuit, and with 100 kilometres of piste served by 22 lifts there is time to explore both sides without it feeling crowded.
With a vertical drop of 1 488 metres, the difference between village and summit is clearly noticeable, so snow quality can vary considerably depending on where you are. Since 54 per cent of the pistes are blue and the terrain is generally very accessible, people tend to gather on the lower slopes in the middle of the day, while the upper sections on the western side stay quieter for longer.
