Location and surroundings

The Rifugio Monzoni is in the same valley the Valle dei Monzoni in the municipality of San Giovanni di Fassa in the province of Trento at 2045  m slm It is surrounded by the Monzoni Vallaccia group, a subgroup of the Dolomites counting Marmolatagruppe that the latter, in contrast consists not of sedimentary dolomite , but of the intrusive monzonite , which is named after the group.

history

The construction of a shelter in the Monzoni group to the year 1902 back, decided as the SAT, an accommodation for a group of geologists to establish that this geologically interesting area as part of the in Vienna hosted 1,903 international geologists Congress wanted to visit.

In contrast to the usual donation of the building site in these cases, it had to be bought at a high price because of an Austria- friendly official in Pozza di Fassa , which was part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy until the end of the First World War , as the official gave the community land to the well-known Italian-friendly Trentino mountaineering association SAT did not want to leave it that easy.

On August 9, 1904, the Rifugio was inaugurated in the presence of the well-known geologist and university professor Torquato Taramelli , who had participated as a volunteer in the ranks of Garibaldi in the Battle of Bezzecca in 1866 , was an honorary member of the SAT and was named after the Rifugio.

Up until the First World War, it was a popular destination for geologists and researchers who did their studies in the Monzoni-Valacia group. During the war it was directly behind the Austro-Hungarian front line running between Costabella and Punta Alochet, which was repeatedly the target of Italian attacks, particularly in 1915 and 1916. During this time, the hut housed Austro-Hungarian command posts and a small field hospital.

Nonetheless, the Rifugio survived both the First and Second World War relatively unscathed and was operated for some time after 1945 by the Science Museum in Trento .

In 1961 it was entrusted to SUSAT ( Sezione Universitaria della Sat ), the university section of the SAT, which still operates it today. It still has its original cube-shaped appearance, which was characteristic of many SAT huts that were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Between 1994 and 1996 the interior was extensively renovated.
