Zwickauer Hütte

The Zwickauer Hütte mountain shelter stands at 2989 meters elevation in the Dolomites, providing accommodations and meals for mountain travelers throughout summer months.

Constructed in 1899, this alpine refuge has served as a critical shelter for generations of mountaineers traversing the high-altitude paths of the Italian Dolomites.

The mountain hut maintains traditional South Tyrolean hospitality customs, serving regional specialties like apple strudel and pasta dishes to visitors from various countries.

Visitors need to bring sleeping bag liners and cash for their stay, as the remote location limits electronic payment options and standard hotel amenities.

The water supply system relies entirely on collected rainwater and melted snow, requiring careful conservation measures during the late September period.
