Rifugio Forestale
2.2About
Rifugio Forestale sits at 1,551m in the northern Apennines, accessible by hiking trails from multiple valleys. The hut serves as a base for ridge traverses and peaks in the 2,000m range. Most approaches take 3–4 hours on well-marked paths. The location works well for day trips to nearby summits or as a stopping point on longer mountain routes.
The rifugio has 30 beds split across basic dormitory rooms. Meals are available on-site: half-board (dinner and breakfast) is standard, packed lunches can be arranged. The kitchen handles vegetarian diets and specific requests if notified in advance. Water and heating are reliable year-round. Opening runs from April through October, with weekends available in shoulder months. Winter closures are firm.
Book directly with the rifugio 4–6 weeks ahead for July and August. July weekends fill quickly. May through June and September offer easier access. Contact them by phone or email to confirm current capacity and meal options before committing.
