Limone Piemonte offers 80 kilometres of diverse skiing across the Maritime Alps, with elevations ranging from 1,000 to 2,085 metres just 25 kilometres from the Mediterranean coast. The resort's unique microclimate combines abundant snowfall from maritime weather systems with plenty of sunshine, creating exceptional skiing conditions throughout winter. Three interconnected sectors—Cabanaira, Bric Costa Rossa, and Colle di Tenda—provide varied terrain from wide, open bowls to technical forest descents. Modern snowmaking infrastructure covers 80% of all marked runs, ensuring reliable conditions despite relatively southern latitudes. The resort's remarkable history spans 100 years, making it one of Italy's oldest established ski destinations.

The Limone Piemonte lift system comprises 17 installations strategically positioned across three mountains to maximise skiing flow. The network combines the high-capacity Cabanaira and Severino Bottero gondolas with detachable chairlifts serving primary routes. Recent infrastructure investments have introduced RFID ticketing technology and expanded uphill capacity at crucial junctions, effectively reducing wait times during peak periods. The system's thoughtful design enables excellent circulation throughout the resort's varied terrain, with logical progression through increasingly challenging slopes while showcasing extraordinary views that extend to the Mediterranean Sea on clear days.

This historic town features distinctive architecture dating back to medieval times, with a charming pedestrianised centre housing excellent regional restaurants. Limone's unique geographical position places it where the Maritime Alps meet the Mediterranean, creating distinctive light conditions and allowing ambitious travellers to ski in the morning and swim in the afternoon during spring.

Season Info

The Limone Piemonte winter season typically runs from early December through early April, with optimal conditions from January through March.

Early season operations concentrate around higher elevation sectors before expanding across the entire network by Christmas week.
