Summer in the Turin Alps

With the winter season now coming to an end, attention turns to summer in Italy’s Turin Alps.

Both Bardonecchia and its neighbour and partner Vialattea are positioning as a four-season destination.

“It is the ideal setting for families, hikers, and mountain bikers alike, as the lift systems are fully equipped to transport bicycles to the mountain peaks, granting effortless access to high-altitude trails,” a spokesperson commented.

Vialattea offers high-altitude lifts operational in the Sauze d’Oulx and Sestriere areas. The season kicks off in late June with the opening of the Sportinia chairlift in Sauze d’Oulx, followed by additional lifts in the coming weeks. This lift system provides seamless access to trails of varying difficulty, catering to both adrenaline-seeking downhill enthusiasts and those looking for leisurely excursions or panoramic high-altitude views.

The summer experience is further enriched by the 18-hole Sestrieres Golf Club, broadening the destination’s appeal to a diverse international audience.

Bardonecchia boasts an Alpine Coaster, Adventure park and a family-oriented calendar of events. The resort stands out as the perfect retreat to escape the summer heat and enjoy an authentic Italian holiday.

Furthermore, its network of 30 dedicated routes offers exceptional terrain for both mountain bikers and hikers. The Pian del Sole and Chesal 1805 mountain huts are ready to welcome visitors with the excellence of local cuisine. They offer the unique opportunity to enjoy lunch with a view of the Alps, surrounded by the silence and stunning beauty of the mountain ridges.
