Mountain hut with Stilfser Joch road, drawing from 1911

The Berglhütte ( Italian Rifugio Borletti , more Rifugio Aldo Borletti Vanni e ) is an at 2188  m slm preferred refuge in South Tyrol . It lies at the foot of the Ortler . The hut is mostly managed from June to mid-October. In addition, it is sometimes opened in spring for ski tourers who climb the Ortler over the Hohe Eisrinne . The number of overnight places is 26.

Location and ways

The Berglhütte is located in the Trafoital am Bergl , a hill below the Ortler's Pleißhorn ridge . Like the rest of the area, it is located in the Stelvio National Park . The hut can be reached from Trafoi via the pilgrimage church Heilige Drei Brunnen ( 1605  m ) in about 1.5 to two hours.

Other mountain huts that can be reached from the Berglhütte are the Bivacco Pellicioli ( 3236  m ), the Hochjochbiwak ( 3535  m ) and the Payerhütte ( 3020  m ).

The Berglhütte is an important base for the ascent of the Ortler via the Meraner Weg as well as other, seldom climbs to this summit. It also serves as the starting point for tours to the Zebrù ( 3735  m ), the Thurwieserspitze ( 3652  m ), the Trafoier Eiswand ( 3565  m ) and the Großer Eiskogel ( 3547  m ).

history

The route of the first to climb the Ortler over the Hinteren Wandlen , which was climbed several times during the 19th century, as well as some other climbs led past the location of today's hut. At that time, this was therefore often used for bivouacs in the remains of a dilapidated shepherd's hut, so that the need for a refuge was soon felt. In 1884 Ferdinand Arning , head of the Hamburg Section of the DÖAV , had a simple, small self-catering hut built here with four to five beds, which he financed entirely himself. The expansion of the hut trail was paid for by the well-known alpinist Hermine Tauscher-Geduly .

After Arning's death, this Arninghütte went to the Hamburg section of the DÖAV, which had the somewhat dilapidated building replaced by a new, larger hut in 1897. This Hamburg hut was already much better equipped with six beds and ten beds in the mattress dormitory . In 1912 a memorial stone was erected above the hut for the tourism pioneer Theodor Christomannos , who extended the Meraner Weg to the Ortler and thus also supported tourism in Trafoi and at the Berglhütte. In contrast to other huts in the area, the Hamburger Hütte was not destroyed in the First World War.

After the end of the war, all Alpine Club huts in South Tyrol were expropriated by the Italian state. As a result, the Milan section of the CAI received the mountain hut for management. The latter renovated the building several times, including in 1925, financed by the Borletti family. From 1939 the hut fell into disrepair after many transformer workers had emigrated as a result of the option . In 1956 the hut was restored. This work was financially supported mainly by the Borletti family. After two members of this family, the mountain hut was officially renamed Rifugio Aldo e Vanni Borletti in 1956 . Since 1999, the Berglhütte is no longer owned by the state of Italy, but by the state of South Tyrol. Since then, it has been operated by the CAI Merano section instead of the Milan section .

At the end of 2010, the CAI's concession to manage the Berglhütte expired. Since 2015, the state of South Tyrol has been supported in the management of the hut (assignment to tenants, supervision of management, renovation measures) by a joint commission, in which the AVS and CAI are represented in addition to the public sector .
