Bockerhütte, Mountain hut in Tessa Group Natural Park, Italy
Bockerhütte is a mountain refuge at 1700 meters elevation in the Texel Range, offering accommodation and meals for hikers and mountaineers. The hut serves as a base for exploring the surrounding alpine terrain and connecting routes.
The Schnitzer family founded this shelter as a base for mountaineering expeditions in the region. Over time it developed into a recognized stop for travelers crossing the local alpine landscape.
The hut serves traditional South Tyrolean hospitality and regional dishes in a simple, genuine setting that reflects local mountain farming traditions. Local cuisine here combines locally sourced ingredients with time-honored cooking methods.
The refuge is accessible via multiple hiking trails, with the main route requiring about three and a half hours of walking from the valley. It is best to start early in the day and bring weather-appropriate gear.
The hut sits along the Romedius pilgrimage route, a 23-kilometer path connecting the refuge to the village of Völlan. This walking path combines spiritual tradition with mountain trekking in an unexpected way.
