Tierser Alpl
Built by hand from the mountains it sits on, the Tierser Alpl has welcomed hikers since 1963. Fresh cooking, warm hosts and wide windows frame the Dolomites.

In autumn, the pale mountains glow as fiery red in the rising and setting sun as the roof of the Tierser Alpl. In 1957, driven by a love for his homeland and the hardship of the post-war period, Max Aichner began building the refuge with his own two hands.

warmly held
It took six years of cutting every single brick out of the dolomite rock and hauling the material up from the valley with a wheelbarrow until he was finally able to open his mountain refuge. And since then, where the paths of hikers cross, the Alpl has stood at 2,440 metres, welcoming the hungry from afar.
This legacy is now in the good hands of daughter Judith and her husband, Stefan. The two have been at the refuge for a good 30 summers, making every Knödel by hand. And because they prepare everything fresh every day, they have no need for a freezer.
In 2015, it was expanded and is now more comfortable for guests. The goal was to bring light, air and the mountains inside the beautiful refuge. The Senoner Tammerle Architects were awarded the South Tyrolean Architecture Award for their work. Today, you can look through wide panorama windows at the spectacle that takes place just outside.
The location
Whether you’re on the way from the Sciliar to the Sassolungo and Sassopiatto, from the Alpe di Siusi to the Catinaccio, you will pass the Tierser Alpl wherever you go.
