Ski Vacation in Italy

One of the European Ski Vacation spots

Next to North America, Canada and New Zealand ski vacation, Europe offers some of the finest skiing holidays anywhere! There are plenty of snow and ski fields here in Europe - from France, Switzerland and Germany, to Alps regions in Austria and Italy.

Ski vacation in Italy's Limone

If you're going to Italy on your ski vacation, you should definitely visit Limone Piemonte. Limone is one of Italy’s oldest ski areas, and it is a very old village with a twelfth century church and many other old buildings. This historic alpine town is located near the French border, and is only about thirty miles from Nice.

Most of the ski runs are best suited to intermediate skiers, with a few that are suitable for beginners and experts. There are twenty seven ski lifts, including seven chair lifts and twenty surface lifts.

At Limone, you will experience a real taste of old Italy on your ski vacation. The nightlife has a lot to offer, and the gourmet food is out of this world! Food and skiing are everything here – with more than fifty restaurants, and 46 ski runs. The top elevation is 6689 with a vertical drop of 3033 feet.

Remember that this charming village of Limone is very old – and the locals like it that way. If you prefer your ski vacation in Italy in some overcrowded ski resort or modern hotel, skiing in Limone probably isn’t for you. But if you want to truly experience Italy on your ski vacation, Limone must be on your list of places to visit for a memorable European ski vacation.
