The Rifugio Agostini , full name Rifugio Val d'Ambiez "Silvio Agostini" , (German Agostini hut ) is a refuge of the Trentiner Alpenverein (SAT) in the Brenta group in Trentino . The hut, which is usually open from mid-June to mid-September, has 64 beds and a winter room with 8 beds.

The hut is not to be confused with the Rifugio Agostino e Delfo Coda in the Valais Alps .

Location and surroundings

The refuge is located in the southern area of ​​the Brenta in the upper, widening valley end of the Val d'Ambiez at 2405  m slm . The latter stretches in a south-easterly direction for about 5 kilometers and ends at San Lorenzo in Banale . The hut is the starting point for the ascent of the Cima d'Ambiéz , a little further north is the Cima Tosa and below it the remains of the Vedretta Ambiez glacier . Immediately behind the rifugio are several striking boulders, some of which are now used as climbing walls. They are the remains of a landslide when the Torre Jandl, a rock needle above the Vedretta Ambiez, collapsed in the morning hours of July 18, 1957. Some boulders fell just past the hut, while the two larger blocks came to a stop about 50 m from the hut. Not far from the hut is the small chapel Madonna del Capriolo with frescoes by the Trentino artist Dario Wolf .

history

The Rifugio Agostini was built in 1937. It was a private hut that was not owned by the SAT until 1976. It is dedicated to the mountain guide Silvio Agostini (1903–1936), who was one of the pioneers of the Brenta tourist development in the 1930s and who also worked in the mountain rescue service. Agostini died in a mountain accident on the south face of the Cima Brenta . The rifugio was expanded in 1939 and 1975. Between 1993 and 1995 the hut was completely renovated. In February 2014, the building was badly affected by an avalanche and parts of it had to be rebuilt.
