Höchster Hütte, Mountain hut at 2560 meters in Ulten Valley, Italy
The Höchster Hütte stands next to Grünsee Lake, providing accommodation and shelter at the upper section of the Ultental Valley in South Tyrol.
Built in 1909 by the Höchst section of DuOeAV, the hut was relocated 50 meters higher in 1957 due to dam construction and later transferred to CAI Milan in 1977.
The mountain refuge received its Italian name Rifugio Canziani in memory of Umberto Canziani, a founding member who lost his life during World War I.
The facility contains 65 beds plus a separate winter room with four sleeping spaces, operating from mid-June through October with direct access to multiple hiking trails.
The hut serves as a starting point for glacier expeditions to Zufrittspitze, Lorchenspitze, and Hintere Eggenspitze, all reaching above 3300 meters in elevation.
