history

The first plans to build the first Dreizinnenhütte were made in 1881 by the Hochpustertal section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club . Since the construction was subsidized by the Central Committee of the Alpine Club, construction could soon begin, so that the hut was completed in September 1882. This first shelter, a small stone building with a kitchen with table and stove as well as beds on straw beds for a total of 18 people, was only inaugurated on August 25, 1883 due to storms. In 1886 and 1891 there were extensions and from 1892 the hut was also managed. An annual number of 642 visitors is known from 1897. In 1898 the alpinist and mountain guide Sepp Innerkofler took over the management of the hut. In 1907 the Dreizinnenhütte was extended by one floor, in 1908 the refuge, which now offers space for 55 mountaineers, was reopened. This year 2000 people have already visited the hut.

The hut was destroyed by Italian grenades during the mountain war in 1915. A nearby military barracks was used as a hut from 1920 to 1922, and a new hut was built in 1922 by the South Tyrol Alpine Association . In 1923 this hut was expropriated by the Italian state, handed over to the Club Alpino Italiano (CAI), Padua section and renamed Capanna Antonio Bettella . In 1935, the same section, in cooperation with the Bolzano section, built today's larger Dreizinnenhütte on the ruins of the old one. During the Second World War, the hut stood empty from 1942 to 1945, was looted and used as a sheepfold. In 1946 the Padua Section renovated the house after having also acquired the Bolzano Section's share and has been managing the hut ever since. Today the hut is visited by up to 2000 guests every day, mostly day visitors who hike here from the Auronzo hut .
