Rifugio delle Odle
About
Rifugio delle Odle, also known as Malga Geisler, is a charming alpine hut perched at 1,996 m above sea level in the heart of the Puez‑Odle Nature Reserve in South Tyrol. With its rustic architecture, open terrace and fully equipped kitchen, it offers a warm roadside stop for hikers, mountain‑bike riders and travelers looking to savour authentic South Tyrolean and Italian mountain cuisine. Guests can enjoy a hearty selection of local dishes, homemade cakes, fresh beer and coffee while taking in a 360° panorama over the majestic Odle peaks and the rolling Val di Funes valley. The hut caters to all ages: families are welcomed with a dedicated playground and stroller‑friendly paths, and a shuttle service is available for those who cannot reach the hut on foot. Even solo hikers or large groups of up to 50 people can find a comfortable spot, provided they book ahead for larger parties. Whether you’re seeking a quick refreshment between a long trail or a leisurely dinner beneath the stars, the Rifugio delle Odle offers a relaxed retreat amid the breathtaking Dolomites.
