In winter, both at Abetone and in the surroundings, you can put on snowshoes. With this particular “means” it is possible to arrive in uncontaminated places. Excursions take place mainly along the paths that cross the territory and along the tracks for cross-country skiing, but there are endless possibilities. There are routes of varying length and difficulty, which intersect on snowy slopes, in the woods, on the slopes or at the bottom of the valley, beaten or still covered with fresh snow.

All snowshoe trails in the snow are very scenic and allow you to appreciate the nature and the silence of the woods of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.
You walk through forests of beech and frozen fir trees to natural panoramic viewpoints from which you can admire a breathtaking panorama: from Monte Cimone to Monte Libro Aperto, from Corno alle Scale to Monte Gennaio.

It is recommended:

• be equipped with own equipment or to be rented on site and appropriate clothing
• evaluate the weather and snow conditions before leaving
• communicate to other people the place of destination
• rely on a local guide who knows the route
