In the Italian/ French Mountains, a gem awaits!

Italy's Bardonecchia is located in a beautiful valley near the border with France. With mountains surrounding the town, two of which boast excellent ski fields, we ski on either side of the valley. 

 

Five minutes to the ski fields of Colomion-Les Arnauds

A five minute walk from our hotel front door takes us to Colomion-Les Arnauds where we ride lifts to a highest point of 2400m. With trails snaking elegantly between trees, there is plenty of capacity in this resort during the week - usually resulting in short or non-existent queues and the opportunity for plenty of miles to be covered!

 

Ski to Olympic-renowned Melezet

From Colomion-Les Arnauds, we ski to the sister resort of Melezet. This area was made famous by the Turin Winter Olympic freestyle events held at the Melezet snowpark with its world renowned Olympic halfpipe. As well as great runs for beginners and intermediates, for the adventurous there are some steeper challenges and off-piste towards the summit. With numerous trails linking Melezet and Colomion-Les Arnauds, this area would be sufficient for many of us for a week's skiing - but there is even more!

 

A third ski area: Jafferau at 2800m

Taking a free five-minute bus ride to Jafferau, the Bardonecchia Freesia cable car whisks us even higher to a network of lifts with a summit of 2800m. Over this side of the valley, much of the skiing is over 2000m and above the tree-line allowing for incredible views across the valley. With mountain restaurants nestling beside the ski runs, we stop for a refreshing hot chocolate or even a fresh pizza!

 

One ski pass opens out 20 ski lifts and 100kms of runs and trails

All three of these areas are covered by our ski pass. In total, from Bardonecchia, we've access to 20 ski lifts and 100kms of runs (5 black, 18 red and 16 blue) as well as the famous exciting snowpark - a fantastic array of runs and trails.

 

Hotel Villaggio Olimpico in the Winter Olympic village

Oak Hall's new ensuite Hotel Villaggio Olimpico in the Winter Olympic village - complete with Pool and Fitness Centre - creates the perfect refreshing base for a week of exhilarating skiing. Each evening, we will enjoy Italian food and then our Oak Hall programme that always includes great conversation, interesting activities as well as a short, helpful Bible talk.
 

Bardonecchia - with car-free old town

Back in Bardonecchia, where the old part of the town is car-free, cafés and gelateria await with plenty of classic coffee and ice cream. Characterised by a warm traditional Italian welcome, easy strolls and peaceful mountain air...
