The Rifugio Ai Caduti dell'Adamello (too German about: hut ) (during the First World War fallen (soldiers) on Adamello ) is an alpine refuge in the Italian province of Trento in the Adamello . It is located at an altitude of 3040  m slm within the municipality of Spiazzo and belongs to the Ai Caduti dell'Adamello foundation of the same name. The hut is usually open from mid-June to mid-September and from mid-March to early May during the ski touring season. It offers sleeping places for 100 mountaineers and has a winter room with 8 beds.

location

The Rifugio Ai Caduti dell'Adamello is located in the Adamello-Brenta Nature Park not far from the Lobbia Pass ( Italian: Passo della Lobbia Alta ) above the Mandroneglacier.

history

The Rifugio Ai Caduti dell'Adamello was built in the 1920s on the remains of former war positions from the time of the First World War . In the summer of 1916, for example, the Alpini had captured a position with barracks and trenches that had previously been built by Austro-Hungarian troops . Due to the sheltered location on the edge of the glacier below the Lobbia Alta, the position was subsequently expanded to a larger camp, in which the Italian section command was housed in a small barracks named after the Italian general and section commander Carlo Giordana .

Pope John Paul II and Sandro Pertini on the Mandrone Glacier (1984)

After the end of the war, the thought quickly spread of building a refuge to commemorate the soldiers who fell on the Adamello. After a year of construction, the rifugio was opened in the summer of 1929. The two-story building offered 20 beds, a kitchen, bathroom and dining room. The hut was expanded in 1933 to accommodate one of the first summer ski schools in Italy. During this expansion, a large dining room was created with a view of the Pian di Neve , which is part of the Mandronegletscher, below . At this point in time the glacier was still roughly level with the Rifugio.

In 1945 a further expansion followed with the addition of the northwest wing. In the period that followed, the hut slowly began to slide down due to the glacier retreat. The glacier fell by 30 meters from the 1930s to the 1960s. Cracks formed in the building and the terrace collapsed, so that a solid reinforced concrete foundation had to be built as a retaining wall. This foundation was able to prevent further slipping into the 1980s.

In 1984 Pope John Paul II was a guest at the Rifugio when he went on a ski tour on the glacier in the presence of the then Italian President Sandro Pertini . John Paul II stopped here again in 1988 when he held a mass at Passo della Lobbia.

In 2000, the Ai Caduti dell'Adamello Foundation was established to raise the necessary funds for the urgent renovation of the hut. The Foundation includes the provinces of Trento and Brescia , the communities of the Val Rendena and Valcamonica , the CAI - Section Brescia on and other public and private institutions. Between 2003 and 2005 the rifugio was refurbished and renovated for 6.4 million euros. During the work, special attention was paid to an innovative, self-sufficient power supply. Electricity is generated and stored via a closed circuit using solar cells and the hydrogen vector , which, when the hut is closed, is controlled via remote maintenance by the Faculty of Physics at the University of Trento . In October 2005 the rifugio was reopened.
