mountain hut

High-altitude cabin

A mountain hut is a shelter in mountainous terrain, typically simple and rustic, providing basic accommodation for hikers, climbers, or skiers.

These range from unmanned emergency shelters to staffed lodges offering meals and bunks.

In the Alps, the tradition of huts maintained by alpine clubs is well established: We spent the night at a mountain hut before attempting the summit.
