A bit of history
Construite en 1925/1926 par le Deutscher und Österreichischer Alpenverein, la cabane a connu un premier agrandissement en 1952-1955, puis une rénovation majeure en 1997-2000 incluant une restructuration intensive et une modernisation énergétique complète (panneaux solaires, photovoltaïque, centrale de cogénération aux huiles végétales).
