Abetone’s deep-rooted alpine traditions, legendary winter sports champions, and the vital, behind-the-scenes work of the Abetone Ski Patrol take center stage in a new photographic exhibition hosted at the European Committee of the Regions in Brussels.
Abetone Exhibition Opens at JDE Building in Brussels
- The “Vette d’Europa: Abetone through History, Ski Rescue, and Champions” exhibition is on display in Foyer 5 on the 5th floor of the JDE-Bâtiment Jacques Delors at Rue Belliard 99-101 in Brussels.
- The photographic narrative is organized by the Abetone Ski Patrol (Soccorso Piste Abetone) alongside MEPs Susanna Ceccardi, Francesco Torselli, and Dario Nardella.
- Access to the exhibition is strictly regulated to individuals registered for an event inside the JDE building, and the European Committee of the Regions does not bear responsibility for the contents of the display.
Celebrating Apennine Heritage and Ski Legends
Nestled in the heart of the Apennines, Abetone represents a unique heritage of alpine tradition, passion for winter sports, and strong community identity. The newly opened exhibition in Brussels celebrates this rich history by paying tribute to the legendary champions who carved their names into international skiing history. Alongside these sporting greats, the narrative highlights the local talents shaping the destination’s present and future.
The Lifeline of the Slopes
Beyond sporting achievements, the exhibition tells the story of a volunteer association deeply rooted in its region. Operating under the banner “by Abetone, for Abetone,” the members of the Soccorso Piste Abetone ensure the safety and wellbeing of every visitor day after day. The photographic narrative highlights the vital role of safety and dedication on the slopes, bringing visibility to a rescue operation that underpins the region’s tourism and winter sports culture.
