Büllelejochhütte, Mountain hut in Sexten, Italy.
Büllelejochhütte is a mountain hut in the Sextner Dolomites, near Sexten in northern Italy, sitting at an elevation of 2,528 ft (2,528 m) between the peaks of Cima Dodici and Cima Una. It offers meals and overnight stays for hikers and climbers passing through this high-altitude area.
The hut was built in 1965 as a shelter for mountaineers in this remote part of the Dolomites. Since 1979, the Rogger family has been running it, and their long presence has shaped its character over the decades.
The hut sits in South Tyrol, where German and Italian are both part of everyday life. Menus, signs, and conversations naturally move between the two languages, giving visitors a clear sense of the region's bilingual character.
The hut is open seasonally, usually from mid-June to late September, so booking in advance is a good idea. At this elevation, weather can shift without warning, and warm layers are worth carrying regardless of the forecast.
The hut sits in an area where remains of World War 1 fortifications can still be spotted in the surrounding terrain, as this part of the Dolomites was a front line between Austrian and Italian forces. Walking the nearby trails means crossing ground that saw intense mountain warfare just over a century ago.
