Sheters are available (for W3,000 - a great deal) on the mountains, but be prepared! The shelters are bare-bones - little more than heated floors, smelly latrines, access to drinking water, and, maybe, an overpriced store selling hot noodles and coffee. Problem is, there aren't nearly enough shelters to go around. Some can be reserved via the internet, but you'd best try to make your arrangements well in advance. If the rooms are booked, you can take your chances and try to get a first-come-first-served room, but if it's a busy time (a long weekend, for example) you're not likely to get a private room (read my travelogue to find out just what happens when there's no room at the inn!). Bring WARM clothes and a sleeping bag.
