Bardonecia

A north Italian tour of the town of Bardonecchia and its environs.

The Alps of the Piedmont region, the region we chose this year, are richly forested, with many rivers and streams

With no border between Italy and France along the Alps, the town of Bardonecchia sits in a narrow valley surrounded by mountains , creating a dramatic and lovely backdrop.

The snowy mountain tops, the trees that paint the mountains green, this is it the welcome you get from Bardonecchia on arrival.

We chose Bardonecchia also because of the walks nearby, comfortable, and easily accessible to all.

Trip A

We will descend about 20 km from Bardonecchia to Sosa, an ancient town on the trade route between Italy and France from the time of the Roman Empire, where there remains an entire quarter with an amphitheater, the Augusto Arch and buildings in beautiful and roman style. We will climb the Alps of France to a height of over 2517 meters for the passage of Monte Sanya, stop on the banks of the lake overlooking an amazing view, visit the wonderful botanical gardens and tell the story of Napoleon’s troops.

In our opinion, one of the most beautiful experiences in the Alps.
