Limone - The Gem of the Ligurian Alps Plans Magical Winter Experiences

Winter is coming, and the start of the skiing season with it. Limone, an eco-friendly alpine pearl in between the Maritime and the Ligurian Alps, is once again making preparations to lavish all its visitors and locals with unique, exquisite experiences.

For sports aficionados, slopes are scheduled to open on December 8th with some novelties and some old comforts: the Riserva Bianca has recently signed a new collaboration with Ski Data, a new ticketing operator partnered with Telepass and Telepass Pay. A modern ticket platform will be installed alongside additional features such as brand-new turnstiles and automatic cash machines to ease the quality of skiers' practice.  

To accompany all your outdoor activity needs, Bottero Ski has replenished its catalog with a vast selection of high-quality equipment for skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. From the best trademarks, as well as providing both a personal selection of the latest must-haves and the stylish comforts of their luxury collection.

For those seeking a more personal experience of the Italian Alps during all seasons, skichaletslimone.com has several chalet opportunities available for sale in the exclusive luxury residential development Villa Almellina Estate, conveniently located 5 minutes walking distance to the village and ski slopes. The chalets for sale at Villa Alemellina Estate offer breathtaking surrounding mountain views as well as luxurious amenities tailored for your well-being. 

A new concept design is now available for the creation of an exceptionally large chalet, Chalet Grand Veranda. This new concept design connects two chalets to create an ultra-spacious 5-6 bedroom chalet, with an indoor swimming pool and private SPA, game/TV room, and 3 garages for a total of 4 parking spaces.

Limone is loaded with opportunities for relaxation and absolute comfort. Chalet Morel is a unique hotel of seven rooms one different from the others located at 1600 meters — fully immersed in the peaceful silence of the mountain — furthermore equipped with a lovely terrace and a large spa.

There are several culinary attractions to satisfy even the most exigent clients such as the White Lounge Restaurant of the Fiocco di Neve Relais, which has prepared a new gourmet experience to enjoy a combination of the traditional local cuisine and enchanting exotic flavours from all over the world. Moreover, we can boast an incredible Michelin Star* restaurant featured in the Michelin Guide: Restaurant Nazionale, full of gastronomic treasures locally sourced from the valley.

What can we expect event-wise? As with every winter in Limone, the bemusing torchlight descent is going to be held on December 30th, at high altitude, followed by the children’s version on January 3rd, a night in which there will be music and fireworks as well. Street bands are moreover supposed to play on the Twelfth Night in Via Roma.

So how to get to Limone?

The Col de Tende Road Tunnel, unfortunately, is still not operational, but there is an alternate route through Savona that will get you there. Tourist train shuttles to Limone from Tende (only 65 km from Monaco, and with a large free parking space in front of the train station) are scheduled to begin on December 10th and run from Tende to Limone and return 12 times per day (currently first train is scheduled to run at 08.40 in the morning (last run at 17.54) from Tende to Limone, with the last return from Limone at 17.00). Always check updated timetable on-line.
