Tips from the Community
A short hike with no particular difficulties. The trailhead from Campitello Matese is unmarked and difficult to identify. The trail itself is poorly marked. For those like me who'd never done it, it's essential to follow the trail on an app or similar. The descent was made by descending from the chairlift side (which doesn't operate and doesn't appear to be in operation anymore), then descending along the ski slope, which halfway through features a barbed wire barrier (!) that I had to cross.

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.
