For mountain
lovers the Alps are like heaven, but while Dolomites offer incredible
landscapes, while Swiss and Austrian destinations
offer a 1 year long ski season, the peaks at the boarder between France and
Italy are a more chic travel option, between big cities like
Turin and Grenoble, ideal for who likes to have all the commodities, join
trendy parties and assist to important events.
Here is an
usual stage for cycling tours and in 2006 the races of the ski world Cup were
also disputed.
The extension
of the settlement, the number of hotels and some of the tracks have profoundly
altered the natural landscape of Sestriere (the most famous architectural
structures are the tower hotels, tall and cylindrical), but the basin is one of
the busiest ski resorts of the Alps.
As well
as Bardonecchia, important tourist center of the Susa Valley, easily accessible
from France, as situated at the mouth of Frejus tunnel. The fame of
Bardonecchia as a ski resort has been linked for years, as well as to the
quantity and quality of its ski lifts, to the beauty of the natural
environment, which not only allows lovely winter mountaineering trips to the
less known peaks of the valley, but is also the ideal base for long summer
walks. Moreover, even in the summer, you can ski on the hill of Sommeiller.
In
Bardonecchia, while most of the tourist activities are linked to the Borgo
Nuovo, built more recently, the Borgo Vecchio, at the top of the village, has
managed to preserve at least in part the typical houses of wood and stone. In
the parish church of St. Ippolito, flanked by a Romanesque bell tower, there is
a baptismal font of the sixteenth century.
