The Pfälzerhütte is a refuge of the Liechtenstein Alpine Association (LAV). It is located on the Bettlerjoch at 2108 m in the Rätikon in Liechtenstein , right on the Austrian border.
history
In 1925, the association of the Palatinate Sections in the German and Austrian Alpine Association was granted permission to build a managed hut on the Bettlerjoch. From the architecture competition held in autumn 1926 and 37 drafts received, that of Ernst Sommerlad was selected. The construction time was 113 days and the construction cost 93,000 francs . The hut was opened on August 5, 1928. The first couple of hosts was Ida and Hermann Ospelt from Vaduz, who ran the hut for eleven years. The hut was looted and damaged several times during the Second World War .
After the end of the Second World War, Switzerland became the owner of the hut and in 1950 it became the property of the Liechtenstein Alpine Club, which paid 8,400 francs for it (including inventory). In 1952 the purchase became legally binding after Germany waived all claims for foreign sales that had been made up to that point. In 1964 the right to use the hut was regulated between the Palatinate and the Liechtenstein Alpine Association, who were now allowed to use the hut equally.
building
The original, two-story building consists of massive quarry stone masonry. It is a simple structure with a floor plan of around 10 × 13 meters. The terrace extending from the basement is south-facing.
Management
The hut is open from around mid-June to around mid-October; the dining room offers 60 seats. There are also eleven beds, 51 camps and a further 20 emergency camps in the adjoining building, as well as a group room for 20-25 people. The winter room in the annex is accessible without a key and offers space for four people.
