Summer

Beautiful naturalistic routes can be discovered by walking around Limone Piemonte. Not only for sport fans, but for nature buffs as well.

Enchanting landscapes, several excursions and fatigue resistances can be experienced across the wide basin around Limone or on the Rocca dell’Abisso, from the peak of which (2.655 m) a sublime view opens on the Piedmont plain and dominates the Alps.

Sport and Nature.

Of absolute interest are the Alpe San Giovanni and the “Napoleon Tunnel”, both reachable on foot along the evocative “Via Romana” (Roman route). The Alpe San Giovanni is an oasis of peace and spirituality which came to life through the respectful renovation of a village within reach of the falls of Limonetto.

The “Napoleon Tunnel” celebrates the attempt to cross the mountains by passing through a tunnel, the digging of which was started in the XVIIth Century, continued in the XIXth Century and was actually realised only in 1882 at a lower altitude. On the French side you can notice mighty fortifications built in the XIXth Century and employed during the war.

For what concerns others attractions, Limone offers also important Natural Sanctuaries, in the Alpi Marittime, in the Alta Valle Pesio and Tanaro, and the French one of Mercantour.

In the Vallone of San Bernardo golf fans may find the charming “Co’ di Paris”, a nine-hole course at altitude, where the Limone’s Golf Club has its seat. Whereas who is interested in climbing, trekking, mountain biking or riding will be able to spoil their appetite, by reaching the greenest valleys or the highest villages and fortifications.
