The new Bike Resort in Limone: 400 km of mountain trails in the heart of the Maritime Alps. Bike lovers can choose their favorite trail among a plethora of trails for all levels of difficulty.

Scenic trails at high altitude, adrenaline slopes for enduro and freeride enthusiasts, less demanding routes for families, and trails for those who want to relax in nature, something for all tastes!

The Salt Road (Via del Sale) stands among the most spectacular tracks, it connects Colle di Tenda to Monesi, in the Ligurian hinterland, and is named after the salt transported on mules back through these mountains for centuries.

For the little ones, a Mini Bike Park equipped just for kids who want to learn freeride under the supervision of professional instructors can be found at the arrival of the Severino Bottero cable by rifugio I Laghetti.

The high altitude trails can easily be reached by cable Bottero, departing from the village of Limone, and by Cabanaira chairlift, at an altitude of 1,400mt. Visitors can find two restaurants with solarium at the ski lift arrival and those lacking equipment can rent a mountain bike, even with pedal assistance, and e-bikes. For info: Tourist Office of Limone (0171/925281 - www.limonepiemonte.it).

Those enjoying outdoor activities in the summer will simply love the Bike Resort.
