Ski & Sea in One Day – From the Slopes to the Mediterranean
There are very few places in the world where you can truly ask yourself the following question on a winter morning:
“Do we go skiing today, or do we go to the beach?”
In Monaco, that choice is real.
Thanks to its unique location between the Mediterranean Sea and the Southern Alps, Monaco offers a rare lifestyle contrast — one that turns an ordinary winter day into something unforgettable.
Staying at Villa Monaco, guests can enjoy a morning in the snow and an afternoon by the sea, all in the same day.
From Sea Level to Alpine Peaks
Within 45 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, you can reach ski resorts sitting at 1,800 to over 2,000 metres altitude. Resorts like Isola 2000, Auron, or Limone Piemonte make spontaneous ski days not only possible, but effortless.
No long transfers. No overnight bags. Just a drive through spectacular mountain scenery — and suddenly, snow-covered peaks replace palm trees.
A Typical Ski & Sea Day
Morning
Leave Monaco early and enjoy a few hours on the slopes. Whether it’s carving wide alpine pistes or simply enjoying the mountain air, the experience feels refreshingly spontaneous.
Midday
Lunch at a mountain restaurant — or head back toward the coast earlier if you prefer. In Limone Piemonte, a relaxed Italian lunch is often part of the experience.
Afternoon
Return to Monaco, swap ski boots for sunglasses, and enjoy the softer pace of the Riviera. A walk along the sea, a late lunch, or simply relaxing back at the villa.
Evening
Watch the sun set over the Mediterranean from your terrace at Villa Monaco — a quiet, elegant end to a day that began in the snow.
A Rare Winter Luxury
Ski & Sea in one day isn’t a slogan — it’s a real experience that defines winter in Monaco. It’s about contrasts, freedom, and living without compromise.
For guests staying at Villa Monaco, it’s one of the most memorable ways to experience the region between January and April.
