mountain refuges
High-altitude lodgings
Mountain refuges are shelters in remote alpine areas where hikers and climbers can rest or spend the night.
They range from basic huts with bunks to staffed lodges offering meals and supplies.
Common in European mountain ranges, they're spaced along trails to provide safety during multi-day treks: We planned our route around the mountain refuges in the Alps.
