Abetone – Tuscany: woods, peaks and paths between snow, trekking and nature of the Pistoia Apennines. Abetone, located at over 1,300 meters above sea level in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, is the most famous mountain resort in Tuscany. Immersed in fir and beech forests, it is an ideal destination in every season: in winter for skiing, in summer for trekking and relaxing in unspoiled nature. An authentic place, where pure air, landscape and traditions come together in an all-Tuscan alpine atmosphere. 🎿 Winter between skis and huts: With its more than 50 km of slopes, the Abetone ski area is the largest in Tuscany. It offers modern lifts, snow parks, snowshoe trails and mountain huts. Ski lovers will find slopes for every level, from the Selletta to the Riva, up to the legendary Zeno slopes, dedicated to Zeno Colò, a great champion born here. 👉 Tip: Stop at a cabin along the slopes for a hot chocolate or a rustic lunch overlooking the snow-capped mountains. 🥾 Summer walking through woods and ridges: When the snow melts, Abetone turns into a paradise for hikers. Well-marked paths pass through centuries-old woods, streams and breathtaking views. Itineraries such as Monte Gomito, the Path of the Sacred Forests and the Ximenes Road tell the natural and cultural history of the Apennines. 👉 Tip: Climb the Croce Arcana to admire one of the widest and most evocative views of mountain Tuscany. 🚴 Outdoor activities for all seasons: In addition to skiing and hiking, Abetone offers mountain bike and e-bike trails, adventure parks for families, riding stables and picnic areas in the woods. In autumn, the woods are colored and become a destination for those who love mushrooms, foliage and silence. 👉 Tip: Try a mountain bike descent along the trails of the Gravity Park: adrenaline and nature meet on the ridge. 🍲 Mountain cuisine and genuine flavours: The local refuges and trattorias offer a rich and substantial cuisine: polenta with mushrooms, spelt soups, artisanal cured meats, chestnut cakes and alpine cheeses. All accompanied by Tuscan wines and local grappas. 👉 Tip: Don't miss the necci, chestnut flour crêpes stuffed with fresh ricotta: one of the symbolic flavors of Abetone. 🛏️ Where to stay: Abetone offers hospitality for every need: Alpine-style hotels, wood and stone B&Bs, high-altitude refuges and residences for families. Some establishments offer seasonal packages with equipment rental, guided hikes and direct access to the slopes. 👉 Tip: Stay in a hotel with a view of the woods to fully experience the quiet and colors of the mountain seasons. In Abetone, the mountain has the scent of the woods, the sound of snow under your boots and the authentic taste of a high-altitude Tuscany.
