Airports

If driving from Milano, Torino or Bergamo during the winter you may well run into snow as you cross the mountains. The motorways are cleared quickly, but there may be a legal requirement for the car to carry snow chains (hint by Tom Parkhill)

Trains

The train journey from Ventimiglia to Cuneo is a beautiful day out. It takes about 2 1/2 hours each way and can be done in a day. The French branch of the line (which they call the Train des Merveilles) runs from Nice to Cuneo (hint from Yvonne and Karl Hansen).

In Ventimiglia station, you can buy SNCF tickets to France up to 25% cheaper at the travel agents in the ticket hall (hint from Paola Bragatto).

For a day out, the journey from Nice to Digne is spectacular! This train departs from a tiny train station, Nice CP, reachable by foot from the main train station in Nice (hint from Yvonne and Karl Hansen).
