Choosing where to stay in the Sibillini Mountains starts with deciding which side of the range to base yourself on. The National Park spans Marche and Umbria, in the provinces of Macerata, Fermo, Ascoli Piceno and Perugia. Its municipalities offer hotels, agriturismi (farm stays), guest rooms, B&Bs, vacation apartments, country houses, hostels, staffed mountain huts and equipped campsites. The Park Authority awards the properties that join its quality program a gold, silver or bronze label, depending on the requirements they meet.

The 2016 earthquake also hit the hospitality sector. Many properties stayed closed because of damage or because they were in areas that could not be reached. In the years after the earthquake most of the park's accommodation reopened. Some still offer reduced services or cannot be reached by car, so before booking it is wise to check the status of the chosen property.

Mountain huts (rifugi) in the Sibillini Mountains

Those at Campi, Monastero and Colle di Montegallo are not. Even the open huts do not guarantee opening every day and some have few beds, so it is best to book ahead. The Cupi hut is at about 1,000 m altitude, between Visso and Lago di Fiastra, and can also be reached by car.
