warming hut

Heated outdoor shelter

A warming hut is a small shelter where people can escape cold weather temporarily, typically found at ski resorts, ice rinks, or along winter trails.

Unlike full lodges, warming huts offer basic refuge—heat, benches, perhaps hot drinks—rather than extensive amenities: We stopped at the warming hut to thaw out before the last run.
