history

The construction of a hut in this area was first suggested in 1908 by the geologist Raimund von Klebelsberg . Shortly afterwards, the Brixen section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club acquired an abandoned hunting lodge, which was converted into the first refuge at this point and opened on July 18, 1909. This was a small, unmanaged self-catering hut. The hut was expanded for the first time in 1911. In 1923 the Italian state expropriated the building and handed it over to the Brixen section of the Club Alpino Italiano (CAI). He operated the shelter until the Second World War , after which it fell into disrepair. The new hut built by the AVS was opened on September 2, 1973.
