The small houses (sleeping 1-8 people) are available for rent. This provides an uninterrupted view of the Rosengarten, Peitlerkofel, and other peaks. Anyone with the necessary cash can spend a wonderful time here.

Enzian Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Beautiful old hut right after the Mendel Pass (approx. 20 min)... So it's more of a stop on the way back from Monte Roen.

July 14, 2025,Hinauf auf den Mendelpass

Today, a visit to the Bolzano summer resort was on the agenda. The highlight was the ride on the Mendola funicular, which is even free with the South Tyrol Guest Pass. Once at the top, you can enjoy shady forests and fresh air. The alpine pastures are also quite beautiful 😋😋😋

April 7, 2024,Frühling in Südtirol - „Mendelpass - Ferdinandshöhe“

Today we started at the Mendel Pass and walked path no. 500 towards Monte Lira. This went up slightly to about 1,500 meters. (past the Enzian Hut, which was unfortunately still closed)
Unfortunately the path became quite icy - so we turned back. It became too dangerous for us.
