Abetone

Built around the 18th-century road over the Abetone Pass, Abetone grew into a major mountain-sports resort in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. At 1,388 metres, the pass links the Pistoia Mountains with the Modena side of the range and has long been a route between Tuscany and Emilia. Winter defines much of the local rhythm, with ski runs spreading across the slopes around Monte Gomito, while summer brings walkers and cyclists to highland roads and woodland. Near the pass, the stone pyramids of Abetone recall the former frontier between the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and the Duchy of Modena.
