About

Rifugio Garibaldi sits at 2,845m on the Dreisprachenspitze (Three Languages Peak) in the Zillertal Alps, marking the border between Trentino and South Tyrol. Reach it from Mayrhofen in Austria via the Zillertal or from the Italian side via Ginzling. The Austrian approach takes 4–5 hours from the valley; the Italian approach via Stillup Valley takes 3–4 hours. Both routes are well-marked mountain paths with sustained elevation gain.

The rifugio holds 25 beds in simple shared rooms. Half-board includes dinner and breakfast; packed lunches are available. The kitchen serves traditional Alpine food. Water comes from a mountain spring. There's no shower, but washing facilities exist. The hut operates year-round but staffing is sporadic in winter—confirm availability before traveling in cold months. Solar panels provide electricity; heating is minimal.

This is a working mountaineers' hut, not a tourist refuge. Use it as a base for traverses across the Zillertal Alps or as a stopover on multi-day routes. Book directly by email or phone at least 4 weeks ahead for July and August. July–September sees the heaviest use. Winter visits require prior confirmation with the guardian. The hut is managed independently; check current contact details on rifugio.net or request information through local SAT (South Tyrolean Alpine Club) offices in Bolzano.
