Skier & Snowboarder-Submitted Reviews for Abetone
Total (3.7)
A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
I notice a certain welcoming attitude among the local population. Many years ago, it wasn't exactly like this. They get busy, and the "gattists" work wonders for the weather conditions. Everyone is good at grooming the slopes in low temperatures and snow that doesn't melt during the day! The real gem is Val di Luce: much cooler, it rains less, and the snow holds much better. The facilities are dated, true... but these people work miracles to keep the area afloat with few and inconsistent ski passes. Let's hold on to it!

Honestly, I was disappointed, the facilities are old and expensive, and the connections are dangerous and without support. At the saddle to get on and off the road there is no support to prevent slipping. I'm very sorry because, especially for us in central Italy, it's a reference ski resort. Such a shame.

Snow period ok.
MASSIMO GIUSTI
The slopes are well maintained even with little snow.

I think they're doing their best to maintain an Apennine resort under the current climate conditions. This year, with the heavy snowfall in December, it was a lot of fun, and many slopes were open. The ski pass and accommodation prices are objectively very reasonable.
Tiziana Di vincenzo
I found the situation very uninviting, with very old facilities, high costs for the services offered, and above all, the footpaths to reach the saddle and the ski school area were icy and dangerous, with no effort on the part of the resort to make them safe, at least by simply spreading salt.

Unless it's snowed heavily, I don't recommend going.
Many of the slopes on December 27, 2024, were covered in sheets of ice and rocks due to poor snow conditions. Many people were injured and taken to the Pistoia emergency room due to these adverse conditions.
The absurd thing was the wait for help—about 30 minutes—and then we were taken down on the Taboga. Due to the strong vibrations and the poor conditions of the slopes, it was excruciating for my boyfriend, who had a dislocated right shoulder (he fell on a sheet of ice).
It's absurd that he was left at the side of the slope waiting for this unsuitable vehicle. It's absurd that the ambulance arrived an hour after the incident! An ambulance without even a doctor on board! The doctor was only available at the first aid station and was only able to administer a painkiller that obviously no one else could administer before.
Truly a terrible experience.

Endless lines. No parking. High costs. They insist on keeping the lifts open even when there's little snow, resulting in increased accidents for those who have already paid a steep price for a day of skiing. The connections are light years behind, the lifts are obsolete, and the slopes are...almost mule tracks. Even getting to the lifts from the parking lots is inconvenient.

Poorly maintained slopes, exorbitantly priced equipment rentals, exorbitantly priced ski passes that don't vary based on slope closures, wind problems, etc. Chairlifts from the 1970s, food prices comparable to those of Michelin-starred restaurants, and elementary school-level food. They basically want a lot of money for nothing. Today, three people paid €42 for a lift ticket to eat at the Pulicchio refuge, where, naturally, the food was disgusting.

A beautiful area between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna with slopes that can satisfy all my snowboarding needs, rivaling the Alps in every way—on piste, in powder, and in the park.
The facilities are absolutely in line with the Alpine average.
If there's enough snow, the park offerings are also satisfactory. In the seven years I've lived in Florence, I've seen up to three parks open simultaneously throughout the area, which for a resort with 45km of slopes isn't bad compared to the Italian average.
The only downside is that there's not much partying on the slopes. For example, the neighbors at Cimone have more music on the slopes.
