 Genoa (Genova, www.airport.genova.it) has flights operated by Alitalia, British Airways and Ryanair. Buses run to Genova Brignole railway station every 30min for the 3–4hr trip via Savona to Ceva (or Cuneo).

 Just over the border in France, Nice’s Côte d’Azur airport (www.nice.aeroport.fr) is served by British Airways, British Midland and Jet2 (www.Jet2.com). After the short bus trip to the railway station Nice Ville, passengers embark on a scenic 3hr trip via the Roya valley to Cuneo.

 The airport at Geneva in neighbouring Switzerland (www.gva.ch) has flights by British Airways, Easyjet and Jet2. A convenient train heads south for the 4.5hr trip via Domodossola to Milan, from where there are plenty of runs for Turin. (It is only marginally faster but more complicated to change at Domodossola for connections via Novara to Turin.)
