Limone Piemonte, Limone Piemonte

Limone is one of Italy's oldest Alpine ski areas, having welcomed skiers from the earliest days of the sport. It is a very picturesque old village centred around its twelfth-century church and other old buildings. Located a few kilometres from the French border it is equidistant from Nice and Turin. Only an hour's drive from the sea, the whole area has a very Mediterranean/'Real Italy' feel, with narrow cobbled streets, usually lively nightlife and gourmet food available. The ski area is very extensive, although the altitude latitude mix can make snow cover unpredictable at the season's ends.
