The Payerhütte , full name Julius Payer Hütte , ( Italian Rifugio Julius Payer ) is a refuge in South Tyrol . It is located on the Ortler at an altitude of 3029  m slm

location

The Payerhütte stands on the Tabaretta ridge in the Ortler Alps in South Tyrol ( Italy ). The tobacco ridge, which is under protection in the Stelvio National Park , leads from the Ortler to the north and separates the Suldental in the east from the Trafoital in the west, both of which are part of the municipality of Stilfs . The closest peak is the Tabarettaspitze a little south of the hut , which the normal route to the Ortler leads past from the Payerhütte.

history

The construction of a refuge at this point was discussed as early as 1870 at the first general assembly of the German Alpine Club . In 1874, the Leipzig and Prague Sections of the German and Austrian Alpine Club made their first efforts to build the hut, but finally, in 1875, the Prague section began construction on its own. A path was built from Trafoi to the construction site, through which all the material had to be carried up. The shelter was inaugurated on September 6, 1875 (as part of a three-day meeting) and, supplemented by statements by the chairman of the Prague section, Johann Stüdl (1839–1925), according to Julius Payer (1842–1915), the discoverer of the The normal route leading via the Payerhütte to the Ortler, named. This first small hut offered shelter for up to 30 people. As early as 1876 it was expanded to include a wood store and the Steig from Sulden was expanded. The hut, which is now more accessible, was visited by 135 mountaineers as early as 1877, and was expanded the following year. But in 1885 the first Payerhütte was already too small, so that the sleeping space was doubled with a new building. From 1887, a year later than planned, the house was managed. The next extension took place from 1892 to 1894. In 1899 over 1000 people were guests in the Payerhütte. From 1901 onwards she was supplied with mail every day from Sulden. From 1906 to 1907 a large additional sleeping house was built, today's hut. At that time it had 80 beds and from 1911 even a telephone connection.

During the mountain war, the Payerhütte served as a base for the Austrian military, who built a material ropeway from Sulden in 1916. From here the highest position of this war, that at the Ortler summit, was supplied. After the war, the hut was expropriated by the Italian state and fell to the Milan section of the CAI . During the Second World War there were two years without management, in 1947 the middle part of the hut burned down, so that all utility rooms located there now had to be accommodated in the dormitory. The glacier retreat , which was already problematic at the time , made it necessary to build a water reservoir in 1949. The hut has also had a helipad since 1965.

Together with 24 other shelters expropriated by the state, the Payerhütte became the property of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano - South Tyrol in 1999 ; At the end of 2010, the license for their management by the CAI 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 .

Ascent

From Sulden: With the Langenstein-Lift up from Sulden. Then on the marked, initially flat, stony path to the steep ascent to the Tabarettahütte . From the Tabarettahütte up to the Bärenkopfscharte and further on the exposed ridge to the Payerhütte (total walking time 3 to 4 hours). Alternatively, there is the option of climbing the difficult Tabaretta via ferrata ( E ) to the Tabarettaspitze and then briefly further to the Payerhütte.

From Trafoi: From the road down to the river, over a bridge, then in the forest on serpentines up the path. When you reach the tree line you stand in front of the Berglhütte . From the Berglhütte continue on the marked very stony path up to the ridge. Continue on the ridge to the Payerhütte. The walking time is about 4½ hours.
