Sant'Egidio Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Sant'Egidio refuge is an alpine structure located in Molise, at around 1,100 meters above sea level, surrounded by beech forests on the north-eastern side of the Matese, above the town of Bojano. Nearby is the hermitage of the same name and the Fosso Colle Mancini. The hermitage of Sant'Egidio is an ancient monastery consisting of a single nave church with a statue of the saint. It was founded by the Cistercians or Templars in the 9th century and restored in the 20th century.

The paths to reach this place are very easy to follow by running, and this location is an excellent stopping point for exploring the Matese.
