Plosehütte, Mountain hut in the Dolomites, Italy
Plosehütte, also known as Rifugio Città di Bressanone alla Plose, is a mountain hut and restaurant in the Dolomites, Italy. It sits on a grassy slope with a white building with a dark gabled roof and a wide wooden terrace with white umbrellas, and a larger building with a dark wooden upper facade and a white lower level, plus a green slide curving down from the terrace.
The hut was built by the Brixen section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club and opened in 1887. After World War I, it was taken over by the Italian state and given to the Club Alpino Italiano, and it has been expanded several times since.
The hut is a meeting point for hikers and skiers, who gather on the terrace to enjoy the view of the surrounding peaks. The menu features local dishes, and the atmosphere is friendly and unpretentious.
The hut is open from early June to mid-October and from early December to early April. To get there, take the cable car from Sant'Andrea to Valcroce and then walk about 1.5 hours on trails 3 and 7, or drive to Valcroce and walk from there.
The hut is the starting point for the Trametsch, the longest ski run in South Tyrol, which descends for 9 kilometers. Nearby, there is a disused radar base of the Italian Air Force.
