Just got confirmation that I will be documenting and helping with some maintenance works at Breslauer Hütte, before the main season starts. This hut, built in 1882, is one of the oldest high-alpine mountain huts in the eastern Alps, and located just below Wildspitze (3768m), Tyrol's highest mountain.

The hut belongs to the Breslau section of the Alpenverein (now based in Stuttgart) and it's their upcoming 150th anniversary next year. Aside from the repair work, for me it's a long awaited opportunity to learn firsthand more about the history of this place & people, and maybe experience sunrise/sunset at 2850 meters. I will also be attempting to restage some of the classic postcard shots from ~100 years ago, to be later developed as gold-toned Kallitypes for a similar timeless character (but sadly with much smaller glaciers in view).

Durante l'ultima notte ha nevicato oltre il 1600 m. Vicino alla malga Laugen Alm (1853 m) ci sono 40-50 cm di neve fresca

Una fermata al sole ai Prati Till - Tillwiesen (ca. 1700 m) per riposarsi dopo la salita lungo il sentiero innevato

At the mountain hut Malga di Brez - Malga Ori (1815 m) in the late afternoon after a hike of 2 hours

È stato impegnativo salire verso la malga lungo il sentiero con 30-40 cm di neve polverosa, sprofondando spesso fino al ginocchio. Un'ora di cammino in più rispetto al tempo richiesto
