Cima Tauffi, Mountain peak in Abetone Cutigliano, Italy

Cima Tauffi is a mountain summit at 1,799 meters in the Apennine range, positioned between the municipalities of Abetone Cutigliano and Fanano. The peak is accessible through multiple hiking routes, including trail T1 which connects to the European long-distance E1 network and passes through wooded areas and natural berry fields.

Cima Tauffi lies on the ridge between the provinces of Modena and Pistoia, and part of its territory falls within the Parco dell'Alto Appennino Modenese. The summit is crossed by the sentiero di crinale marked 00, the Grande Escursione Appenninica, on the route between the Doganaccia, Lago Scaffaiolo and Corno alle Scale toward Libro Aperto and Monte Cimone. In winter, roped parties of experienced alpinists often follow it because of the exposure and frequent ice.

A statue of Madonna delle Nevi stands at the summit, reflecting the religious importance of this location to nearby communities. The figure at the peak shows how locals have long considered this mountain a place of spiritual connection and pilgrimage.

The best hiking season runs from May through October when trails are clear and weather is more predictable. Sturdy footwear and layers are essential since conditions can shift quickly at altitude, and some sections have steep or rocky terrain.
