The Rifugio Vajolet (German Vajolethütte ) is a refuge of the Trentiner Bergsteigerverein (SAT) in the Rosengarten group in Trentino . The hut, which is usually open from mid-June to mid-September, has 130 beds and a winter room with 12 beds.

Location and surroundings

The Rifugio Vajolet is located in the central area of ​​the rose garden in the municipality of San Giovanni di Fassa at 2246  m slm on the Porte Neigre, a spur that separates the upper Vajolet Valley from the Gardeccia Mulde. It stands in the immediate vicinity of the Vajolet Towers (2821 m) and the Rosengartenspitze (2981 m), which rise north and south-west of the hut and are separated from each other by the Gartl Gorge and Punta Emma. North-east of the hut is the Cima Scalieret (2887 m), another well-known mountain in the central Rosengarten group.

history

The Vajolethütte was built between 1897 and 1898 by the Leipzig section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club . The hut quickly proved to be too small and a second building was built next door as early as 1901. The latter was significantly expanded again twice between 1906 and 1912. With the annexation of Trentino to the Kingdom of Italy after the end of the First World War, the hut became the property of the Trentino Alpine Association SAT.

The Rifugio Vajolet is closely linked to the name of Tita Piaz , one of the most famous alpinists in the Dolomites. He married the hut keeper's daughter in 1903 and ran the hut himself for years until he was replaced as hut keeper in the 1920s because of his open opposition to fascism . He then built the Rifugio Paul Preuss just a few meters away .
