Tassoni Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A famous refuge in the upper Modena Apennines, the Tassoni hut is located between Fanano and the Croce Arcana pass, in the Ospitale valley. It was built in the 1960s on the site of a sheepfold owned by a certain Giovanni Tassoni, whose name was inherited by the current refuge. Open every day from June to September, in the remaining periods it is only open on weekends but an emergency room equipped with beds and blankets is always accessible.

October 4, 2023,Fanano - Taburri - Passo Colombino - Capanno Tassoni - Passo Croce Arcana - Scaffaiolo - Lago Pratignano

A classic, beautiful and very panoramic, and varied in terms of environments and terrain.
It requires confidence with the not always easy single trek, otherwise you will often have to dismount, which would in any case be compensated by the charm of the environments and views. Those who are not very "technical" are then advised to descend from Lake Pratignano …
