Rifugio Kuhleiten - Avelengo

Perched on the ridge of Kuhleiten, 7,700’ above Meran. If you’re there, it means you’ve struggled up 361 mtrs from the cable car stop of Meran 2000. Kitchen is spotless, as is the restaurant. Staff appears to be family — caring, responsive, pleasant and proud of their place. Excellent white sausage with sweet mustard and warm, out-of-the-oven pretzel. From the patio deck, views all around.
