Ski resort nestled in the mountains of the municipality of Cutigliano, on the Pistoia mountains, about 15 minutes by car fromAbetone (the main district of the Toscana), the Doganaccia it is a very particular area for two reasons: the first is that it is totally exposed to the sun, and this implies a shorter skiable period than normal (although it is equipping itself with snow cannons to guarantee good snow until Easter); the second concerns its slopes, completely suitable for an audience of beginners. The area is in fact the destination of thousands of young Tuscan skiers who flock to its slopes to learn the basics of skiing.
There are two ways to get to Doganaccia: the first is by car, going up a steep road that climbs up the mountain, the second, decidedly more spectacular, is by taking the cable car that leaves just outside the town of Cutigliano. This solution costs slightly more, but is especially ideal for those arriving by car, who can thus do without thinking about parking once they arrive on the ski slopes. At the arrival of the cable car there is a restaurant and the ski school, and you can begin your descent towards the departure point of the Campo Scuola and Faggio di Maria ski lifts.
The Doganaccia district counts 10km of ski slopes, served by 5 lifts: a cable car that takes you to the tip of the Croce Arcana, from which you can observe a stupendous panorama of the entire Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and from which a beautiful slope, three ski lifts and a chair lift start.
The runs are mainly blue, i.e. easy, but there are also red runs starting from the Croce Arcana and a black run (with its variant) served by the Faggio di Maria ski lift.
At field school there is a new track for the snow tubing, with which you can have fun descending at high speed on rafts: using the comfortable treadmills you will have the opportunity to go back up.
It should also be emphasized that they are also present at the Doganaccia two bottom rings. The first, Croce Arcana Ring, has a circumference of 3km, while the second, the Lazzi Ring, is much longer, having a length of 7km. This also gives cross-country skiers the opportunity to enjoy this sunny area throughout the winter season.
