The Rifugio Finonchio - "Fratelli Filzi" or just Rifugio Finonchio or Rifugio Filzi (German Finonchiohütte ) is a refuge of the Rovereto section of the Trentino Alpine Club (SAT).

Location and surroundings

The Rifugio Finonchio is located in the municipality of Rovereto in the province of Trento at 1589  m asl. The hut is only a few meters below the summit of Monte Finonchio. In the immediate vicinity there are a number of radio and television transmission masts , which can also be easily seen from the Adige Valley .

history

The first plans to build a refuge on Monte Finonchio date back to the time before the First World War , when Monte Finonchio became a popular destination for the upper class of Rovereto. In 1912 the foundations for the hut could be laid, but there was no further expansion due to the First World War.

Only after the end of the war were the plans for further construction resumed. Work began in 1929 and the rifugio was inaugurated just a year later. It was named in memory of the two brothers Fabio and Fausto Filzi, who died in the war on the Italian side and grew up in Rovereto .

During the Second World War, the hut was badly damaged by looting, so that only a few walls were left at the end of the war. The new building, which was aimed at immediately after the end of the war, was not started until 1956 and the new Rifugio Filzi with its characteristic semicircular roof was finally opened a year later.

In 2010 the SAT section Rovereto decided to extensively renovate the hut and in July 2014 the completely renovated hut was able to reopen.
