mountain huts
High-altitude refuges
Mountain huts are simple shelters built in remote alpine or wilderness areas, providing basic accommodation for hikers, climbers, and skiers.
They range from bare-bones bivouacs with just a roof and sleeping platforms to staffed refuges offering meals and bunks.
In European alpine traditions, a network of such huts enables multi-day traverses through high terrain.
We planned our route around the mountain huts so we wouldn't need to carry a tent.
