Snow time: the Riserva Bianca in Limone Piemonte

The artistic, cultural, culinary and natural features of the town of Limone Piemonte are of as much importance as the actual skiing facilities

The Riserva Bianca Ski Resort has 80 km of ski-slopes, 13 ski lifts (1 gondola, 11 chair lifts and 2 platter lifts), and is situated in the splendid setting of a wonderful valley basin that connects no less than three deep valleys and provides perfect skiing conditions for the beginner or the expert alike.

Besides, the artistic, cultural, culinary and natural features of the town of Limone Piemonte are of as much importance as the actual skiing facilities, ideal for those who love the mountains but who are not necessarily ski enthusiasts.

The delightful village of Vernante is located only 7 km from Limone, and has succeeded in maintaining its characteristic charm. The village is famed for the 150 wall paintings that adorn the village buildings, depicting the adventures of that famous wooden character Pinocchio. The village also offers high quality gastronomic products such as cheese and beer.

Thanks to the excellent geographic position of the Vermenagna valley, those staying in either Limone Piemonte or Vernante can reach the Côte d'Azur and the Ligurian Riviera and its breathtaking coastline and chic resorts, or even Alba and its hills, to enjoy its world-famous wine and gastronomy centre.
