Limone seems to have it's own micro climate. It is fabulous summer or winter. The skiing is great as is the apres-ski. For me it is 1.5 hours away so very convenient to hop on the train or drive. You can enjoy Nice one day and the slopes the next with a beautiful mountain railway taking you there. Hotel Albergo Principe sits 50m from the lift so well placed and a comfortable place if a little dated.

Limone (Limone Piemonte) is an absolute gem! You'd never guess from the stats (1100m-2100m) that it usually has snow right down to the village and covers a reasonably wide area. The lifts have nearly all been replaced recently & so are fast & efficient. There are still some queues at high season though. Limone is generally now considered the best resort within easy driving distance of San Remo/Monaco/Nice. If you're only going for the day park at "Quota 1400" just after the Tende tunnel coming from the south.
