Hostels in the Sibillini Mountains

Looking for a hostel in the Sibillini Mountains means looking at an area that stretches between Marche and Umbria. The National Park was established in 1993. Most of the peaks exceed 2,000 m and the highest is Monte Vettore, at 2,476 m. Among the self-catering options is the foresteria (guesthouse) in Preci, in Umbria. It is a single-story building with 10 rooms, 65 beds plus 3, two large common rooms, a kitchen and a green area with a playing field.

Hostels in the Sibillini Mountains: the best areas

For a hostel on the Umbrian side, the area to look at is Preci. The foresteria is in Preci, 17 km from Norcia. It is set in the greenery of the Park, in open countryside but 400 meters from the village, where the essential services are. There is also a swimming pool 2.5 km away.

This property is self-managed and is used as a base for hikes. It is suitable for school trips, youth and corporate groups, and for anyone who loves trekking and nature. Activities organized from here include environmental education in the Park, excursions with donkeys and mules for adults and children, family vacations and summer school camps. The foresteria can be rented in full, on a self-catering basis, for summer weeks, weekends or other occasions. After the 2016 earthquake, it is wise to check that the property is operating before booking.

Hostels in the Sibillini Mountains: the map of properties

The map shows the location of the properties in this category. Those who do not find the right format can look at other types of accommodation, for example mountain huts in the Sibillini or bivouacs and unstaffed huts in the Sibillini Mountains. The overall picture is on the page about where to stay in the Sibillini Mountains.

Hostels in the Sibillini Mountains: how to choose

The first thing to understand is how the property is run. A self-managed property, such as the Preci foresteria, has a kitchen available to guests. It is worth checking in advance what is included and what to bring.

The second criterion is the distance from services. In Preci the village is 400 meters away, while Norcia is 17 km away. Groups should look at capacity and room layout, and solo travelers should ask whether smaller arrangements are available. Before leaving, and especially out of season, it is wise to check that the property is open and what the road and trail conditions are.

Those who prefer to sleep along the trails can consider a mountain hut. Not all the huts on the Grande Anello dei Monti Sibillini are in operation: the one at Campi Alto, in Campi di Norcia, has been closed since the 2016 earthquake.
