Hochfeilerhütte, Mountain hut in Pfitsch Valley, Italy.
The Rifugio Gran Pilastro stands at 2710 meters elevation in the Zillertal Alps, providing shelter for mountaineers exploring the surrounding glaciers and peaks.
The establishment of this mountain refuge in 1986 marked a significant advancement for alpinists seeking to reach the summit of Gran Pilastro at 3510 meters.
This mountain shelter represents the intersection of Italian and German alpine traditions, reflected in its dual naming as Hochfeilerhütte and Rifugio Gran Pilastro.
Visitors can reach the refuge through a three-hour hike from Passo di Vizze, following marked trails that include sections with fixed ropes and steep terrain.
The refuge serves as a gateway to the Gran Pilastro glacier, where climbers navigate a 300-meter ice wall during their ascent to the mountain peak.
