Herzlich willkommen auf dem Hochjoch-Hospiz!


Das Hochjoch-Hospiz liegt an einem der ursprünglich wichtigsten Übergänge über die Alpen. Die touristische Erschließung begann in der 2. Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Der erste Bau entstand auf der gegenüber liegenden Talseite. Diese Hütte war Ende des 1.Weltkriegs durch Lawinenabgänge und Plünderungen nicht mehr nutzbar. Die damalige Sektion Mark Brandenburg erstellte deshalb in den zwanziger Jahren den Ersatzbau.

Wegen ihrer deutschnationalen und völkischen Ausrichtung blieb die Sektion Mark Brandenburg nach dem 2. Weltkrieg verboten, die Hütte in der Folge der Sektion Berlin übereignet. Noch heute besitzt die Hütte, insbesondere in der Gaststube, ihre ursprüngliche Gestalt und steht deshalb davor, unter Denkmalschutz gestellt zu werden. Die Sanitärräume der Hütte sind in den Jahren 2013-15 erneuert worden. Bereits einige Jahre zuvor wurde die Heizung der Hütte saniert, so dass sie auch in der Skitourensaison von März bis Anfang Mai innerhalb der Venter Runde Stützpunkt ist.

Hausbegr der Hütte ist die Guslarspitze, ansonsten dient sie als wichtige Zwischenstation auf dem Weg zum Brandenburger Haus oder über die Bella Vista als Wegvariante des E5 Richtung Italien.

Hallo, wir sind vom Hochjoch Hospiz direkt nach Vent abgestiegen, kamen über die Breslauer Hütte um den 24. September. Da gab es nirgends Probleme. Ein Tag war Nebel verhangen, sonst keine Beeinträchtigung. Zum Weg über die Martin Busch Hütte kann ich nichts sagen.
