Skiing in Limone Piemonte, Cuneo - a beautiful ski resort

Limone Piemonte, Cuneo, ski slopes

I am Piedmontese by adoption and I boast of it, because in Piedmont we have almost everything: cities of art, small but enchanting villages, lakes and mountains where renowned ski resorts are located. But I don't want to talk about Sauze d'Oulx, Sestrière and other Olympic areas, but about a small locality agrave; located in Val Vermenagna, Limone Piemonte.

The name of the locality comes from a strong link with the French Riviera, because Limone Piemonte is located between the Italian Riviera, French Riviera and Piedmont. Given its location, the resort is filled in high season with Piedmontese and Ligurians, but its slopes are not as crowded as those of Sestrière.

In Limone you will have at your disposal 80 km of slopes for all levels: both for beginners and for the most skilled skiers and lovers of cross-country skiing . That is to say that Limone is one of two Italian resorts, together with Bardonecchia, to see the first sportsmen try their hand at the snow.

Here are tracks suitable for everyone: for children, beginners, challenging tracks. In addition, in lemon you can find tranquility for the whole family and for children there are numerous games like inflatable structures. Limone is the perfect place for family holidays accompanied by the little ones.

Snowboarding lovers find a snow-park here, both for beginners and for the most advanced levels in this sport. Instead, in summer, good sports skills can be evaluated in the 9-hole golf club located about 2 kilometers from the center of Limone. The greens are not very big, but they have numerous obstacles in the midst of an environment of pure nature. It will be very relaxing to return to Limone.

It is not to be underestimated is the fact that you can get to Limone by train. So when you're tired of skiing, you can take a sightseeing tour. The Cuneo-Ventimiglia-Nice railway line is used for local transport, but it has nothing to envy to the famous panoramic railways. Its route winds through beautiful landscapes, partly in gallery and partly on viaducts, transforming a simple train journey into adventure.

Even in Limone itself you will not be bored: a large number of shops and shops, restaurants, pizzerias, discopubs, bars, and other clubs ensure the fun after ski.
