capanna_punta_penia_c.jpg

The Capanna Punta Penia Mountain Hut, the highest in the Dolomites, is located on the very top of the Marmolada. It was built in the late ‘40s by an Alpine guide from Alba di Canazei who converted the Austrian military garrison that had stood on the summit of the Queen of the Dolomites and dated back to World War I, reusing the materials that the soldiers had carried to this great height. The refuge lies along the Alta Via no. 2 and is much loved by trekkers on the trail from Munich to Venice.
