COMPLETE TRAVEL GUIDE
How to get from Turin Airport to Bardonecchia
Turin Airport to Bardonecchia follows the Susa Valley toward the French border. The airport railway reaches Torino Porta Susa, where you can check a regional train westward to Bardonecchia. A central town station makes this one of the simpler rail arrivals among Italian ski resorts, although Campo Smith and Jafferau still require a local connection. A private pickup avoids the city interchange and suits groups with ski equipment. Confirm the accommodation district and final arrival time before reserving.
Campo Smith, Melezet and the Jafferau base have different local approaches. Check the current resort bus or arrange a pickup from the railway station.
