Frequently asked questions

Do I need to book?

Yes, reservation is mandatory (or strongly recommended) for nearly all huts — online or by phone with the managing organization.

What is provided?

Typically: a wood stove (firewood often provided), mattresses or bed bases and a dry toilet. Bring a sleeping bag, stove, food, water or a filter, and a headlamp.

Are the huts open in winter?

Several networks are open in all four seasons and reached by snowshoe or backcountry ski; some long-distance trails do close in winter. Check with the operator.

What level is required?

Staying in a hut means carrying your gear over several kilometres of trails. An intermediate level and good preparation (map, weather, self-sufficiency) are recommended.
