Strategic place from which to reach the Ligurian Coast, Monte Carlo and Nice, going through the tunnel of Colle di Tenda<\/strong> and the fascinating Valle Roya, Limone has always been a popular destination, offering both summer and winter many activities for unforgettable holidays, eco-friendly and\u00a0without the car<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

1. Limone, without the car<\/h2>\n

Limone\u00a0is one of the 25 Pearls of the Alps<\/strong>, cities that have chosen to offer sustainable services for holidays in armony with the environment. Soft mobility<\/strong>, without\u00a0car, is strongly encouraged in this small alpine corner! The railway<\/strong> arrived in late 1891, connects Limone to Cuneo, but also to the beautiful city of San Remo, Monte Carlo and Nice. The resort is easily accessible by public transport<\/strong> and then to move around, you will find efficient services. Many hotels are located directly on the ski slopes and the proposals for a\u00a0walking and cycling holidays are many!<\/p>\n

From spring to late autumn the valleys around Limone become a real paradise for hikers<\/strong>! Just open a map to realize how many paths, all well marked, pass through forests and valleys, until you reach the surrounding peaks, including the territory of large natural parks. From difficult\u00a0routes, to those suitable for families with small children, the possibilities are many! And you can always rely on local mountain guides<\/strong> to walk safely or nature guides<\/strong>, who will tell you the secrets of plants and flowers that populate the landscape!<\/p>\n

3. Mountain biking along the “Via del Sale”<\/h2>\n

The Maritime Alps are a perfect destination for all mountain bikers<\/strong>, who are looking for excitement, surrounded by cool green forests, on routes suitable for all levels. One of these that you cannot miss, is the Via del Sale<\/strong>, which connects Colle Tenda to Monesi (Liguria)<\/strong> following a dirt path of about 39km built at an altitude between 1800 and 2000m. In ancient times salt was carried by\u00a0donkeys. Due to maintenance work done by soldiers<\/strong> during the First World War the path has remained in good condition until today<\/strong>: you can go through the alpine road by bike, on foot or on horseback and is part of a European project that aims to encourage mobility without car.<\/p>\n

4. The\u00a0Snow Queen in the Maritime Alps<\/h2>\n

Limone is one of the first Italian ski resorts<\/strong>, opened in 1937. The district, which opens on the surrounding peaks to the country, is very broad. The “Riserva Bianca”<\/strong> has about 80km<\/strong> of traks\u00a0and the lifts come up to Monte Alpetta<\/strong>, with its 2.070m. If you like skiing is definitely a destination not to be missed, where you can get directly into the village with your skis on! There are also many paths that you can follow with snowshoes, safely, immersing himself in the silence of the surrounding woods. And there are Snowparks and Kinderpark for the entertainment of children! Ski schools and mountain guides are waiting to help guide you in this wonderful snow-covered valley!<\/p>\n

5. Green\u00a0stay in Limone Piemonte<\/h2>\n

Even your stay in this Pearl can be\u00a0eco-friendly<\/strong>, if you choose the right accommodation, in places seeking to reduce their impact<\/strong> on the environment. I especially recommend these two!<\/p>\n
