Tips from the Community
The Guado Liscia refuge is nestled in the woods of Alto Molise, on the pass connecting Agnone and Capracotta, practically on the border with Abruzzo. It's a popular stopping point for hikers, motorcyclists, and cyclists, offering traditional cuisine, a simple yet welcoming atmosphere, and good reviews for the quality of the food. It's open year-round, and in winter, it becomes a strategic shelter along the area's often snow-covered roads, offering refreshment amidst unspoiled nature and mountain views.
