Orto Botanico Forestale dell’Abetone

Mountain plants and Apennine landscapes

The Orto Botanico Forestale dell’Abetone is a nature-focused stop in the Pistoia mountains. It introduces visitors to the flora and forest environments of the Tuscan Apennines, making it a good choice for those who want to explore beyond the city centre.

The garden is especially suitable for slow travellers, families, hikers and anyone interested in mountain landscapes, botany and environmental education.

It can be combined with a wider day trip to Abetone and the surrounding mountain area, offering a greener and quieter side of the Pistoia territory.
