How to reach the Nazionale

A strategic location in the heart of the Alps

The Nazionale di Vernante is located in the heart of the charming mountain village of Vernante, in the province of Cuneo, renowned for its murals dedicated to Pinocchio.

For those arriving by car, it is easily accessible via the A6 Torino-Savona motorway, exiting at Fossano or Mondovì and continuing toward Cuneo. From there, follow the SS20 Colle di Tenda road in the direction of Limone Piemonte until you reach Vernante.

You can also arrive by train: the Cuneo-Ventimiglia railway line includes a stop at Vernante station, which is just a few minutes’ walk from the town center and the Nazionale.
In every season, Vernante offers a welcoming atmosphere surrounded by nature, history, and tradition.

The Nazionale’s facilities are located in the historic center of Vernante, overlooking the famous Pinocchio murals. It’s the perfect base to explore the Maritime Alps, offering nature, sport, and local tradition.
Just steps away you’ll find restaurants, shops, and local attractions, while the train station is easily accessible on foot. By car, you can reach Limone Piemonte in just ten minutes, and in a little more time you’re already in France, crossing the Colle di Tenda.
