    • Be aware that huts are not hotels!

    Already due to their remote location mountain huts cannot offer the comfort usual in the flat country. Only in isolated (usually newer) huts smaller sleep areas or showers are available, and the space conditions do not permit a large privatsphaere with full hut.

    As smooth a living together of many humans with different goals and daily rhythms as possible (mountain climber, wanderer) close together presupposes a large measure of respect and understanding. Some important behavior rules (hut order) are fastened in the huts, and it is natural that one adheres to it.

    All Swiss Alpine visitor could find a safe and heatable accommodation and the possibility of preparing smaller meals. Besides they have the function of a salvage station (with rescue material and radio or telephone connection in the valley). The SAC is the only alpine association, which makes this infrastructure available surface covering. The maintenance of the winter areas is connected with large financial expenditures. Neither the costs of the production nor those of the supply of the lighting and heating means can be covered with the overnight accomodation taxes at full extent. It is the more important around the fact that all staying overnight guests pay the hut taxes correctly. Only by honesty everything can keep the SAC the winter areas opened.

     Patrick, outstanding photos here. I am glad to see that I have already been to quite a few places which you describe here. Keep up the good work ... :-)    		sswagner Thu Mar 15, 2007 01:11 UTC
     Great photos and descriptions about the Alps. I sure do miss your country. We just had our first child, so travel will have to be local for a while. Great pages!

     I must say your photo of the Ibex and the Matterhorn is the best photo I have ever seen on VT. It helps your tips are excellent as well. Cheers, Mark    		JLBG Sat Feb 3, 2007 03:46 UTC
     Excellent page with superb photos and useful tips. Nevertheless, a shocking problem with VT location database that puts "Alps" as a whole under "Switzerland". France, Italy, Austria, Slovenia are expelled from the Alps by the US! You are not responsible!
