History

Abetone (in Italian: "large fir") was created as a custom post on the main road from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and the Duchy of Modena, built from 1732. The name derives from that of a large tree cut down to allow the construction proceed.

Starting from the early 20th century it became a renowned skiing resort. Zeno Colò, one of the greatest Italian skiers, was born here in 1920.
