About

The Schlüterhütte (Rifugio Genova, 2,306 m) stands on the grassy saddle country below Passo Poma at the northern edge of the Puez-Odle Nature Park, in the municipality of Funes/Villnöss, South Tyrol (province of Bolzano), between Val di Funes and Passo delle Erbe. Built by Dresden patron Franz Schlüter and donated to the DÖAV Dresden section in 1898, it became Italian state property after the First World War — hence the name Rifugio Genova — and was managed by the CAI Bressanone section from 1946; since 1 January 2011 it has been owned by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano and is run by tenants Marlene and Martin Nitz. It is the end of the first (or second) stage of Alta Via 2 from Bressanone and a stop on the Munich–Venice trail, with superb views of the Odle/Geisler peaks made famous by Val di Funes postcards. The hut offers 38 beds in 19 rooms plus 49 dormitory places, hot showers and hearty South Tyrolean cooking, open from mid-June to mid-October (2026: 13 June – 11 October). The easiest approach is the roughly 2-hour walk from the Zannes/Zans car park (1,685 m) in Val di Funes via the Gampen alp; from Passo delle Erbe allow about 2–2.5 hours.
