Old Pforzheimer Hütte, Mountain hut and cultural heritage site in Mals, Italy.

The Old Pforzheimer Hütte stands at 2,256 meters elevation near the Sesvennahütte, offering views of the surrounding peaks of South Tyrol.

Built in 1901 by the Pforzheim section of DuOeAV, the hut transferred to Italian ownership after South Tyrol became part of Italy.

The structure represents mountain architecture of the region and now functions as a museum displaying exhibits about border smuggling activities.

Two hiking trails lead to the hut: a 4-minute path from Sesvennahütte and a 49-minute route from La Forcella.

Starting summer 2024, the former mountain refuge will serve as a self-catering facility specifically designed for youth groups.
