Morterer Alm - Alpine Hut

The Morterer Alm lies secluded on a small plateau on the eastern side of the outer Martell valley. Below the Hasenöhrl peak and the Zwölferkreuz, in the heart of the Stelvio National Park, it commands sweeping views across the valley and the surrounding three-thousand-metre peaks.
