Reachable by the asphalted road to Colle di Tenda, it is a fundamental support point for many excursions and bike rides in the upper Vermenangna Valley!

Chalet Le Marmotte is a typical family-run mountain hut at 1800m above sea level. Located on the Italian-French border (see map) 12 km from Limone Piemonte, it is the ideal place to enjoy the quiet of the mountains and is also a convenient starting point for any type of walk.

For the more trained the Rocca dell’Abisso is an unmissable route, while for the less sporty the Central Fort and the five minor fortifications (see map) are very easy to reach. From the chalet you can take the famous 'Via del Sale' towards Monesi and numerous other mountain roads with mountain bikes, quads and motorcycles towards Italy or France.

Our hut is easily accessible in summer via the road that continues from Quota 1400 (Limone Piemonte) which is completely paved, while in winter you can reach it via the Colle di Tenda chairlift (departure from Quota 1400)

After a long walk or a nice ski ride we can offer you a wide choice of typical dishes; polenta with sausage, venison, polenta concia, with cream of leeks and speck, with lard raschera and walnuts ... .. and even delicious appetizers, abundant first and second courses and, finally, delicious homemade desserts.

Chalet Le Marmotte is the ideal place to spend a quiet day in the mountains, relaxing on our panoramic terrace and savoring tasty dishes. In summer, observing the rich flora and fauna of the surroundings, marmots cannot be missed.

Excellent point of support for arrival and departure for the salt route, when you decide to tackle the tour going up from lemon, passing through limonetto and arriving at lemon 1800. In summer no problem to reach it as it is served by an asphalted road
