Getting there
By train: Limone Piemonte station is served by the Cuneo–Ventimiglia railway. This line connects the town north to Cuneo and Turin, and south through French territory via Tende and Breil-sur-Roya and back to Ventimiglia on the Italian coast. Travel time from Turin is approximately 2 hours, requiring a quick connection in Cuneo.
By road: The town is accessed via the Strada Statale 20 (SS20) highway, which runs up the Vermenagna Valley from Cuneo. To the south, the road connects to France through the Colle di Tenda Tunnel, linking the area to Nice and the French Riviera. The road is prone to landslides and the tunnel is being rebuilt, with completion scheduled for 2028; for time being, all traffic passes through one tunnel in turns.
