Alpine Club huts

Alpine Club huts are refuges that serve as accommodation, rest or catering facilities for hikers, mountaineers and nature lovers. They are often located in alpine regions and offer simple overnight accommodation and the opportunity to sample the local food.

No, non-members can also stay overnight in Alpine Club huts. However, members benefit from reduced accommodation rates and other advantages such as insurance.

Many huts allow online bookings via the websites of the respective Alpine Club sections. Early booking is recommended, especially in the high season or for large groups.

A hut sleeping bag, weatherproof clothing, sturdy shoes, torch, toiletries and cash are essential. For self-catering huts, you should also bring your own food.

The costs vary depending on the hut and membership. Members usually pay between 10 and 25 euros per night, while non-members pay higher fees.

Wi-Fi is not available in most huts and mobile phone reception is often limited. Many guests appreciate the digital time-out and the undisturbed time in nature.
