Rifugio Altino is a staffed mountain hut with a restaurant in Altino, a hamlet of Montemonaco and the highest in the municipality, just above 1,000 m on the Marche side of the Sibillini. The family that runs it has long grown the mela rosa dei Sibillini, a local pink apple.

After the 2016 earthquake the business moved to temporary premises near its original site.

Rifugio Altino: location in Altino

Altino is surrounded by chestnut and beech woods, below Monte Altino, also known as Cima Prata, and looks over a valley of sunny meadows used as summer pasture. The village lies on the Grande Anello dei Sibillini, the hiking loop of over 120 km that touches almost all the municipalities of the Park.

Rifugio Altino: rooms and restaurant

For overnight stays there are two residences with rooms and apartments. The restaurant serves traditional dishes made with local ingredients. The house specialty is wild boar with mela rosa dei Sibillini apples, a Slow Food Presidium, served in autumn, winter and spring; in summer the apples give way to peaches. Both the meat, which comes from selective hunting in the Montemonaco area, and the apples are produced in-house.

Rifugio Altino: what to see nearby

In the village, the church of Sant'Andrea Apostolo reopened for worship in April 2026, after the closure that followed the earthquake. Several trails lead from the hut toward Lago di Pilato and Monte Sibilla, and old municipal roads lead to the hamlets of Rocca and Vallegrascia. A stretch of the Grande Anello leads to the plain of Santa Maria in Pantano, in the municipality of Montegallo, one of the ancient trans-Apennine passes of the Piceno area: the church, documented from 1039, largely collapsed in the 2016 earthquake, and in 2025 the repair work was approved.
