The Suspension Bridge
At Mammiano, one of the longest pedestrian suspension bridges in the world, high above the Lima river. Children never forget it.
Around
Things to do in the Pistoia mountains.
San Marcello sits at the heart of the Montagna Pistoiese: Abetone is half an hour away, the Suspension Bridge ten minutes. A few ideas to fill a month.
Doganaccia
From Cutigliano a cable car climbs to 1,500 metres: meadows, easy walks and fresh air even in August.
Abetone
The great fir forest, shady walks, playgrounds and an ice cream in the square.
The Orsigna valley
A quiet hamlet at the end of the valley, riverside paths, the landscape Tiziano Terzani loved.
Lago Nero
A small glacial lake below the ridge, for a full day out on foot.
The astronomical observatory
At Pian dei Termini, above the village: summer stargazing evenings.
Museums and trails
Ironworks, ice houses, mills and eight red letters.
The small museums of the Ecomuseum, the Gothic Line Museum, the Ski Museum and the easy Segnavie trail network: all within half an hour.
