The Pistoian Appenine.
The snowy mountains. A vision of snow-white peaks, a promise of gentle descents, and the certainty that you will go home with indelible memories

Spellbinding scenery all year round, dense in history, jewels of nature, the deep silence of valleys broken only by the flowing of streams. Ever splendid secular forests, magical when covered in snow. Snow... there are any number of stories linked to these mountains. How many champions have been born zigzagging on the white carpet of the challenging slopes of Abetone. And how many feats, large and small, are undertaken by ski-lovers year after year. These extraordinary events are experienced over and over in the living, changing nature. Being allowed into this world is the highest of privileges. The emotion of the sun filtering down to your walk through the woods looking for mushrooms or carefree walks in the open air with the perfume of colourful fields in flower. But also the passion of a descent through the pines, the joy of cross-country skiing.

However you want to experience it, you just have to respect the laws of the mountain. If you listen, the mountain will have a lot to tell you. It will show you its beauty, the splendour of its glistening heights, prisms of light under the sun. It will tire you out, giving you a vague sense of danger when a cold wind whips across your face with snowflakes transported by angry gusts of wind. You will without doubt experience exhilarating hours moving in the open-air, with the effort of breathing in this immensely pure air.

There is so much to learn from these stupendous connecting valleys! There are so many opportunities to put things right in your mind. Rediscover mountain traditions, communal dinners, spontaneous and relaxed socialising, pure and healthy enjoyment.

You will be able to listen to your emotions and measure your reactions in another dimension. The detachment from everyday life will help you to understand your usual frenetic activity. And as ever, you should carry on listening and nature will have many more things to tell you.
