Monte Amiata: Your Winter Destination Near Siena
In Tuscany’s Siena province, Monte Amiata has everything you need for your winter holiday destination. Skiing and snowboarding abound but there’s also plenty to do for those who simply want to spend their days indoors with a cup of hot chocolate or tea.
It’s a destination for everyone!
Although Mount Amiata isn’t particularly famous or a very well known ski destination, that doesn’t mean that it’s lacking in any way! In fact, the resort offers alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing.
On the Grosseto and Siena sides of the mountain, there are equipment rentals, ski schools and numerous accommodations for all of your tourist needs.
Despite being lesser-known and smaller, Monte Amiata is still a fantastic alternative to the more well-known Apennine resorts.
