history

The first hut at Radlsee was built in 1912 as a private building by the first landlord, Anton Mayr from Brixen . From July 1913 it was managed. Due to the large number of ski tourers , the first Radlseehaus was also open in winter. Even after Anton Mayr fell in World War I, his family continued to run the house until 1940. The Radlseehütte came into the possession of the "Ente Nazionale per le Tre Venezie", a fascist organization for the economic Italianization of South Tyrol. However, the house was neglected, looted and ultimately burned down.

In 1950 the Alpine Association of South Tyrol took the decision to rebuild and acquired the land from the municipality of Brixen. Construction began in 1954 with the support of the military and was completed in two years for 2 million lire. The new hut was opened on July 29, 1956. In 1965 the first major renovation was necessary, in 1973 a material ropeway was built to supply the hut. In 1982 an extension added to the old stone building with additional bedrooms, living rooms and sanitary rooms. In 2001 the hut received the environmental seal of approval for Alpine Club huts .
