The Hotel Rivé has a splendid location at the foot of the slopes, where it enjoys magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and woodland. For moments of rest and recuperation away from the pistes, guests have access to the superb wellness area, as well as the hotel's bar and comfy lounge area. It is set in the Campo Smith complex, benefitting from many facilities onsite.
Bardonecchia was somewhat overlooked until the 2006 Turin Olympics brought investment to the town and raised its profile as a great value beginner and intermediate destination. It’s in a sunny valley, right on the French border and two of its three ski areas are interlinked, opening up a large area across two separate mountains. And to really rack up the miles, you can go on a ski away day to Montgenèvre in France – our team in resort will organise the coach transfer and lift passes for the day.
For those wanting to test their skills or watch the pros head to the Olympic Snow Park and half pipe in Melezet, just a couple of miles away and reachable using Bardonecchia’s free town and ski bus.
The year-round town has a very convenient road and rail link, making it a popular ski resort with weekenders from Turin, but this is the only time that the slopes do get a bit busy. It offers the young at heart some great nightlife haunts, especially at the weekends. Our favourite is the American themed Garage on Via Medail – it’s a popular spot and usually open until the early hours at the weekends. Being a main town Bardonecchia also has plenty of other activities, including a cinema, ice rink, a sports centre and a wide range of over 80 shops.
