Visitor Reviews of Abetone
Peter from United Kingdom writes:
I have been to Abetone at least once a year over the last 16 (all seasons) and have never been disappointed. Having spent most of of my previous holidays in most resorts in Europe, it was a joy to discover Abetone where the people are genuinly most kind and not out to take advantage. I have been there when I have been virtually the sole skier on the slopes with clear blue skies and excellent scenery,thought on the Public holidays it can get busy but nowhere near as bad as I found on the better known resorts in Europe. The lift system is so slick you rarely ever have to queue. The prices for the lift tickets are very reasonable and superb value in my opinion catering for all levels novice to advanced. If you go at Easter you will see the 'Pinnochios' under 18 Olympics where some of the past world champions began their careers. I have always stayed at the Albergo Primula which is just on the edge of town and a 5 min walk to the lifts. The family are multi lingual and extremely hospitable. Tiziano and Paola run the bar below the hotel and really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Nothing seems to be a effort. I have already recommended the Albergo Primula (Tel 00390573606748) to many of my friends over the years and they, like myself, keep returning.
If you, like me, enjoy skiing or hill walking in a beautiful setting with a relaxing environment, then Abetone is a must.
