The town
Bardonecchia, or just Bardo among friends, is a town and comune in Piedmont in the upper Susa Valley. It is an important centre for winter sports with two ski areas: Colomion-Les Arnauds-Melezet and Jafferau. Bardonecchia is located in the center of a sunny valley, a starting point for enjoying the ski slopes in winter and the bike park in summer.

Bramafam Fort (Forte Bramafam). Ancient castle, from which the 19th-century fort inherited its name. Used as a fortification to defend the square whose cannons pointed both towards the entrance of the railway tunnel and towards the road coming from the narrow valley, it is now used as a museum.
