Ski museum

Opened in 2012, the museum presents the history of skiing in the Riserva Bianca through multimedia content, artefacts and images. Thousands of documents, images and films can be explored via a multimedia visitor experience made accessible through interactive information kiosks. The video footage features historical material courtesy of the Istituto Luce, period photographs drawn largely from private collections, and original equipment from the early 20th century, including numerous pairs of skis – for both men and children – sledge of various shapes and sizes, and other equipment designed for use on snow for both recreational and work purposes.

The museum pays tribute to a number of figures who played a key role in the history of winter sports in Limone Pimonte and displays artefacts that trace the evolution of the sport.

Ski simulator

For those who want to start having fun even before hitting the slopes, a fun ski simulator awaits you at the Limone P.te tourist office: perfect for testing your skills, challenging friends and savouring the adrenaline of the descents down the Alpetta and Olimpionica runs… without even having to put on your boots!

The Riserva Bianca ski area in Limone Piemonte is a true paradise for winter lovers: over 80 km of fun, 37 slopes at altitudes ranging from 1,050 to 2,050 metres, and 16 ski lifts — including chairlifts, T-bar lifts, gondola lifts and magic carpets — allowing you to experience the mountains in all their glory.

These slopes, suitable for all types of skiers, offer spectacular views in a resort whose history dates back to 1937.

And then there’s the magic of the view: on the clearest days, from the snow-capped peaks, the view stretches far into the distance and can even reach as far as the Mediterranean Sea.

Fancy a bit of adventure before you even put your skis on? Pop into the Limone Piemonte tourist office and put yourself to the test: with virtual turns, adrenaline-fuelled runs and challenges against friends, who will manage to secure a place in the rankings of the best skiers?
