A lodge with magnificent views of the Dolomites. The Rittner Horn is considered the most frequently climbed peak in the entire Sarntal Alps and offers a panorama that has been renowned since ancient times. However, its shape is anything but a "horn" – more like a flat knoll. The Rittner Horn House was built there in 1893 as the second mountain hut in the Sarntal Alps, originally founded by the Bolzano section of the Austrian Tourist Club. After the First World War, it was expropriated and became the property of the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) and its Bolzano section. The suggested tour itinerary, with its cable car descent, is particularly easy on the knees.
Starting point: Large parking lot in Pemmern-Zirm (1532 m) on the Ritten plateau. Accessible from Bolzano via provincial road 74 and the Ritten cable car (Bolzano – Oberbozen); from its mountain station, the Ritten narrow-gauge railway – “das Bahnl” – runs to Klobenstein, where there is a connection to bus line 166 (Bolzano – Pemmern).
