Visitor Reviews of Abetone


Tommaso from ITALY writes:

Abetone is situated on the mountain pass of the same name, on the border between Tuscany and Emilia and on the avarage less than 80 km from the nearby art cities like Florence, Pistoia, Lucca and Pisa. This ski resort is surrounded by a large forest of fir-tree at an altitude of 1400m and is no doubt the most important ski resorts in the Appennines. The Ski-slopes reach altitudes of up 1900m. The area extends over four wonderful valleys: the Val di Luce, the Valle dello Scoltenna, and the Sestaione and Lima valleys. The total length of the ski-slopes is over 80km. The facilities consist of 4 cable-lifts fitted with the latest technology, 10 chair-lifts, 8 long ski-lifts and 8 baby-lifts.Thanks to well chosen distribution of ski lifts and the optimal connection of slopes, skiers living in the most distant locations of the district area can access slopes wearing their skies and leaving their cars in the garage.
There are many typical Tuscan-style restaurants, pizzerias, snack-bars, pubs, cinemas, clubs and a indoor swimming-pool.
The ski resorts have recently been equipped with artificial snow machines covering about 50 km of slopes.
Enjoy the sheer delight of this wonderful landscape! Visit our valleys and ski on our most different slopes! Just a few steps...the rest is on skies!
