[edit] Geography
The town, which is located about 90 km (56 mi) from Turin at the intersection of four valleys, is surrounded by mountains, including several whose peaks surpass 3000 meters (10,000 feet).
The town is built along Bardonecchia Stream, a tributary of the Dora Riparia. The historic center is set back and elevated, while the more recent part of town is built around the train station. The town has grown thanks to activities related to customs, logistics, and tourism; as a result, it has incorporated some neighboring villages, and thus is one of the largest towns in the Susa Valley.
Bardonecchia is connected to France by the Fréjus Road Tunnel and by a railroad tunnel, part of a TGV Paris to Milan connection.
The municipality of Bardonecchia contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Lez Arnaus, Melezet, Millaures, and Rochemolles.
Bardonecchia borders the following municipalities: Avrieux (France), Bramans (France), Exilles, Modane (France), Névache (France), Oulx.
