Abetone, Mountain municipality in Province of Pistoia, Italy
Located at 1,388 meters above sea level, Abetone stands among dense forests of fir trees in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines mountain range.
Founded in 1732 as a customs checkpoint, Abetone connected the Grand Duchy of Tuscany with the Duchy of Modena through a mountain pass.
The Orto Botanico Forestale dell'Abetone botanical garden presents the native plant species of the Apennine mountain ecosystem to visitors.
Since 2017, Abetone operates as part of the larger municipality of Abetone Cutigliano, serving winter sports enthusiasts with multiple skiing facilities.
The town derives its name from a large fir tree that workers cut down during the construction of the mountain pass road in the 18th century.
