The Vajolet Refuge was built way back in 1897 by the DuÖAV section of Leipzig. In 1902 another small building was added near the old Refuge. As this still proved to be insufficient, the Leipzig section further expanded the Refuge in 1906 (see photo below). In 1912 the Vajolet Refuge was further expanded, to then pass in 1923 to the S.A.T. of Trent.
In the years that followed, the Vajolet Refuge became an important base for climbers and hikers who frequented the Catinaccio area.
