Limone Piemonte & The Dolomites

Limone Piemonte

Is a famous ski resort at 1010 m. above sea level near Cuneo (Italy) and its name developed from the Occitan ‘li mount’> ‘the mountains’.

The Riserva Bianca, near the Riviera di Ponente seaside (Liguria-Italy) and the glamorous Monte Carlo, is the ski area of Limone Piemonte with 80 km of runs, 16 ropeways and an amazing Snow Park for moments of real fun.

The Dolomites
