Hintergrathütte, Mountain hut in Sulden, Italy
Description
The Hintergrathütte sits at 2661 meters near the Suldenferner glacier and accommodates mountaineers exploring the Ortler range. The building has roughly 70 sleeping spaces in shared rooms and a dining area that serves meals.
History
The original hut was founded in 1892 by Russian State Councillor Carl Baeckmann but was destroyed in 1915 during World War I. A new structure was later built on the site and has served climbers ever since.
Culture
The hut serves as a meeting place for climbers and mountain guides from the area who prepare for challenging routes together. Visitors often encounter people sharing stories about their climbs and plans for the coming days.
Practical
The hut operates from mid-June through early October with winter bookings accepted only by email. Guests should reserve well in advance as spaces fill quickly, especially during peak climbing season.
Did you know?
The hut serves as the main starting point for the Hintergrat route to the Ortler summit, the highest peak in South Tyrol. Many climbers spend time here to acclimatize before attempting the challenging ridge.
