A few weeks ago, we discussed how Tuscany is an unexpected ski destination and the ski resort in Abetone. The Apennine Mountains, where they come through Tuscany mean that, though many tourists do not realise it, Tuscany boasts some great ski resorts that can be enjoyed in tandem with exploration of the food, culture, and art of the region. For those looking to book a ski break in Italy this winter, it’s an ideal option! But Abetone is not the only ski resort that you can choose from if you book a vacation rental in Tuscany: the Dognaccia 2000 ski resort in Cutigliano is also a great choice!
Located in the Municipality of Cutigliano in Pistoia, just 50km from Florence and 25km from the city of Pistoia, this is a slightly smaller resort but it still offers nearly 10 kilometers of downhill slopes and has an excellent balance between slopes for beginners, children, and expert skiers. Additionally, there are options available for those who either cannot or do not wish to ski and are looking for other activities to enjoy. Doganaccia's slopes, therefore, are perfect for ensuring everyone in you party is catered to, no matter their needs or experience level. Browse our holiday rentals in Pistoia and come enjoy this charming little ski resort!
Popular and picturesque, Dognaccia is a beloved summer holiday destination and has long been a haven for Italian intellectuals, with the Tuscan dialect still spoken there. In the winter, however, it transforms into a great ski resort with artificial snow guaranteeing a full ski season, even if natural snowfall is lacking on any given year. The resort also has a ski school and a variety of ski lifts servicing the area.
Those who cannot ski can also enjoy a range of alternative activities including a fun ski tubing slope for kids and the young at heart and cross-country skiing along gorgeous trails that wind 3.2km around Lake San Gualberto and Croce Arcana. Or, you could come, take in the stunning views and surroundings, indulge in delicious and hearty Tuscan cuisine, warm up with some hot drinks, and take things nice and slow. Whatever way you like to enjoy a ski resort, if you book a villa in Pistoia and come to Dognaccia 2000, you’ll have plenty of options!
