Turin has an international airport which is served by budget airlines. Milan is a train ride away.
Piemonte (also known by its English name, Piedmont) is located in the north-west of Italy, bordering France. Piemonte provided the short-lived Kingdom of Italy with its monarchs, the Savoy family, and the rest of the world with Fiat cars. The regional capital, Turin, is the home of the 2006 Winter Olympics.
Much of the region is mountainous, covered in ice and snow, reaching up to the heights of Monte Rosa (4,633m). But the region is one of contrasts - from rich rolling vineyards to the mountain wonderland of the Gran Paradiso National Park.
Piemonte wines include Barolo, Barbaresco, Asti Spumante and Vermouth. Among the region's prized products are truffles from the Alba area, cheeses such as Gorgonzola, and a delicious range of biscuits and chocolates.
Turin is the capital of Piemonte, and a popular tourist destination, particularly as budget airlines fly there from the UK. Skiing and mountain sports also attract many visitors to the area. Bardonecchia is among the region's leading skiing resorts. The more peaceful and verdant charms of Lakes Maggiore and Orta are also extremely popular tourist destinations. Those keen to explore less-known corners of the regions will be rewarded with gems like Alba with its many medieval towers, the hillside chapels and imposing religious sanctuary above Biella or the historical, costumed 'Battle of the Oranges' at Ivrea.
Bardonecchia - the pearl of the Alps - is the historical skiing capital of Piedmont; it has a convenient railway station on the Turin-Modane line, and is one of the most delightful corners in the whole western Alpine arch. Bardonecchia is an excellent tourist resort with all amenities, but it is also an authentic Alpine town, equipped with functional services and, for the past few years, with a link to Turin along the Frejus motorway. It is set in surroundings of considerable charm, around the traces of ancient rural Occitan settlements.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
L'appartamento si trova nella via centrale del paese, comodissima ai negozi e ai trasporti. Si può facilmente dimenticare l'automobile poichè praticamente tutto è raggiungibile a piedi , considerata la posizione centralissima dell'appartamento. Inoltre Bardonecchia è una delle pochissime località di montagna della zona ad essere raggiungibile con il treno e quindi, di conseguenza è facile poter visitare città come Torino, Milano e perfino ragginger Venezia o Firenze senza aver bisogno di disporre di una macchina.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Siamo nel cuore della cittadina, all'inizio della zona pedonale dei negozi e della vita sociae di Bardonecchia; si può quindi godere di ogni aspetto della socialità ma, allo stesso tempo, in brevissimo tempo (con o senza macchina) si possono raggiungerezone di spledida impatto naturale potendo fare passegiate ed escursioni in montagna d'estate raggiungendo paesaggi meravigliosamente incontaminati oppure, in inverno, raggiumgendo con gli sci o con le ciaspole le vette delle montagne olimpiche, godendo anche delle attrazzioni in quota (baite e ristoranti dove è possibile consumare un tipico pasto montano perso nella natura incontaminata)
