Location and surroundings

The Rifugio Cima d'Asta is located in the municipality of Pieve Tesino in the province of Trento at 2476  m slm. It is located at the end of the Val Sorgazza valley directly below the south face of the Cima d'Asta on a small moraine hill just a few meters from Lake Cima d'Asta away.

history

Shortly after the turn of the century there were the first suggestions to build a refuge below the Cima d'Asta. In 1907, construction began on the hut, which was inaugurated a year later on August 24, 1908. At that time it still had a compact, cube-like shape, like many other huts in Trentino, and for a long time it was the only rifugio in the largest mountain group in Trentino, the Lagorai.

It was badly damaged in the First World War, but was able to reopen in 1922. The hut was named after the journalist and geographer Ottone Brentari from Trentino who died a year earlier.

During the Second World War, the refuge was broken into and looted several times. In August 1952, it reopened for the second time in 30 years. It retained its original shape from 1908 and only had 18 beds. In 1982 the SAT decided to increase the rifugio and with it the number of sleeping places. Work began in 1984 and on September 1, 1985, the three times larger hut was inaugurated.
