Rieserferner Hut

Far away from the noise and hectic of everyday life

The location represents nature and landscape at high-Alpine altitudes.  Right at our front door, you can see the impressive Geltalkees.  Above it the rocky peaks of the Kleinweiss (2,976 metres), the Black Wall (3,106 metres), the Morgenkofel  (3,070 metres) and the Wasserkopf (3,141 metres).  In a northerly direction, there is the Geltal Peak (3,126 metres).  Towards the right is a chain of mountain summits: the Grosse Ohrenspitze (3,101 metres), the Magerstein (3,270 metres) and the Wildgall (3,272 metres).  The panoramic views towards the north give way to the Gel Valley, the Mostnock mountain group (3,062 metres) and a part of the Ziller Valley mountain range (Schwarzenstein, Grosser Löffler).  Towards the south, there is the Pragser range and the Ampezzan Dolomites, which greet you in the evening with their reflecting red colour between Gsies and Antholz .....
