-Some old, slow chairlifts
-Some challenging, very long button lifts
-Some lifts closed for consecutive days for no apparent reason (perhaps a lack of skiers)
-The 2 ski domains require transport to get between
-Town is sleepy
-Outside of Saturday, no apres
-Ski rental more expensive than France
-Beginners will struggle; lack of cruisy blues and essentially no greens.

I often go to Bardonecchia. It has many challenging slopes, and you can ski even when there's little natural snow. Good value for money. There are no long lines at the lifts.

Beautiful station that can be reached by train from Turin. It's a shame there are few open slopes, but otherwise it's beautiful.

We were in Bardonecchia from January 4th to 8th. On the 4th, 5th, and 6th, we were told that the slopes, from Melezet and beyond, were closed due to lack of snow. Then, on the 7th, after the previous day's heavy snowfall, the reason was maintenance for the Universiade. Even the arrival of the snowcat, already at 2:00 PM, prevented us from skiing the lower section of the Olympic slope, despite paying full fares months in advance. Shameful. Not to mention the obsolete, unheated, hoodless chairlifts that reached your calves at 120 miles an hour. Shame on you. Never again.

100km of slopes? Where? They're there on the map, but the reality is quite different:
On half of the slopes shown on the map, which are clearly closed even with snow, there are spruce growths, a sign that these slopes are completely neglected from one season to the next.
Want to talk about the lifts?
Ditto: half are closed, they tell you because of wind, for maintenance, or because there are races...
On top of that, there are closed ski lifts and long, uncovered chairlifts, so if you find yourself in wind and snow, you end up sitting on a bench of icy snow, and when you get off, you're a popsicle yourself!
We found ourselves paying full ski passes to ski a slope at Campo Smith and one on Jafferau, having to use buses because they're far away.
They should go to school in Trentino.
One star because you can't get any less!

Good evening, can a tourist town like Bardonecchia have two electric car charging points, one of which is disconnected and turned off?
Can there be at least eight closed slopes and three or four closed ski lifts, but the daily ski pass rate not be adjusted downward?
Only large numbers can save your seasons; customer service is nothing.
A disgrace.
Thank you for your attention.

Le charme de la station réside par l'accueil
Station familiale, peu fréquentée hors saison
Des pistes variées
Seul bémol cette année ne plus avoir accès à notre restaurant/ bar préféré chez Aldo et Rachel qui fait la joie des petits et grands, de par leur accueil et ce depuis des années que c soit le café du matin ou le déjeuner et notre soirée chaleureuse avec la descente de nuit !!! un incontournable dont on rêve chaque année !!! Quelle tristesse de bloquer cet établissement qui fait tout le charme de cette station.

chiedo alla biglietteria il motivo fd egli impianti chiusi nonostante la neve e mi dice che sono chiusi per manutenzione. Mi sento ancora di più preso in giro. .. per me è l’ultima volta che vengo qua.

Le piste di Bardonecchia sono tra le più belle della valle di Susa. Ovviamente in questo momento manca la neve e quindi è impossibile farsi un’idea corretta. La cittadina è raggiungibile con il treno ed è l’unica.

La poca neve scesa non è stata trattata, inoltre le baite gestite quasi interamente da una società sono assolutamente inefficienti e omologate al fast food, le uniche che funzionerebbero sono quelle private se ci fosse neve
Veramente un’esperienza pessima
