Ski Tuscany the affordable way with Casa Marginetta


Having marked its centenary in 2004, Abetone is one of the longest established resorts in the whole of Italy.

The home of the first ever World Champion, Zeno Colò and many other famous personalities since, following extensive renovation Abetone is once again truly world-class.

Multi-million Euro investments in modern fast chairlifts and gondolas throughout make all of Abetone's exciting slopes accessible as never before!

The resort now offers over 60km of marked runs served by twenty two lifts, the most important twelve of which were renewed within just the last few years.

At Abetone, there is an incredible variety of slopes to choose from - everything from relaxing tree-lined runs to breathtaking panoramas, wide bowls, extreme steeps and four snow parks that will challenge even the most jaded!

Abetone's unique microclimate and well over 100 snow cannons mean that from December until April you can reliably experience mile after mile of exciting runs of the highest quality across all five fully interlinked resort areas at unbelievably low prices.


Even the little details have been thought about like moulding the mountains to take out most of those annoying 'flats' and 'uphills' that have skiers cursing and snowboarders hopping like jackrabbits or scraping the snow like monkeys.

So, if you're an intermediate or above then Abetone was made for you as now it's 'access all areas' with the fantastic Abetone Multipass.

However, if you're new to skiing or snowboarding then you've REALLY struck it lucky as Abetone is probably the best place on Earth to learn!

Why? Because ...

  • You'll learn in a safe environment on a dedicated nursery slope tucked well away from advanced skiers and snowboarders.
  • You'll be using 'magic carpets' and chairlifts instead of difficult and frightening button lifts.
  • Take it from us - or ask anyone who has been through it - learning to use a button lift is actually MUCH harder than learning to ski or snowboard - especially when you're trying to get to grips with having large foreign objects strapped onto your feet which seem to have a 'mind of their own' !
  • Inexperienced skiers and snowboarders often fall off button lifts, so they have to keep stopping frequently to enable people to struggle out of the way. Injuries sometimes occur too. All this can leave you wondering "why did I spend all that money just to queue for ages in the cold waiting to be scared to death when I could be somewhere else relaxing in the sun?"
  • Even worse - inexperienced skiers and snowboarders often crash into people on button lifts, knocking them off and then - you guessed it - the button lift stops yet again and more injuries result! 
  • Because of this, you'd think that all resorts would install chairlifts instead as, compared to button lifts, these are a doddle to use. But resorts don't, because they're very expensive. Consequently, generations of wannabe skiers and snowboarders have had no choice but to put up with cheap and 'not-so-cheerful' button lifts - 

    Until now!
  • When upgrading the resort, the planners at Abetone thought carefully about the safety and convenience issues and decided to invest in not just one, but two brilliant multi-million Euro chairlifts for the main nursery slope - 
    Amazing!
  • Thanks to this, Abetone's highly skilled English-speaking instructors can get you started safely, securely, quickly and cheaply -
    Saving you both time and money!
  • Skiing or snowboarding down and relaxing your legs as you go back up on a chairlift means that you'll have loads of fun, rapidly gain confidence and hence learn the basics faster -
    In just hours instead of days!

This is why we call it 'the World's best nursery slope'. Take a look at people enjoying it here.

Check out that resort you're considering - we bet you'll find the 'dreaded' button lifts! Do yourself a favour and come to Abetone instead, where they've turned learning into an art form. 

You really don't have to suffer any more!!

The moment that you've grasped the basics and are in control of your skis or snowboard, then at Abetone you can really start to enjoy yourself - up the mountain!

Gentle introductory cruisey-blues right from the top and some of the most fabulous scenery you've ever seen make for the perfect recipe that'll have you hooked in no time!! 

Enjoy your first beer or vin brulè and feel like you're on top of the World in one of the many fantastic mountain restaurants offering authentic Tuscan hospitality at highly affordable prices!

You may also be pleased to learn that Abetone is a very safe resort. There has never ever been an avalanche and for your ultimate peace of mind, free mountain rescue is available in the unlikely event that you should need it.

Wearing of helmets for children is legally enforced to minimise the risk of injury. Do yourself a favour and wear one too - it keeps your ears warm, is a great place to park your ski goggles ... and, of course, it could save your life!

Abetone also makes a great choice for the discerning winter sports enthusiast who wants to enjoy a world-class experience, but at a substantially lower cost in these hard times. Take a look at people enjoying themselves here.

We had a great time at the Ski & Snowboard Show on the Italian State Tourist Board Stand together with a cheerful bunch from Abetone and Cimone resorts, including my good friend Rolando, president of the SAF.



It was a great pleasure for us to have the chance to chat to many lovely people about the unique benefits of coming to Tuscany and Emilia Romagna for their winter sports holiday.

If you are one of those who have come to this site as a result of seeing us at the show, then we would like to extend you a special welcome. Enjoy browsing around and hopefully we'll see you in Tuscany or Emilia Romagna!
