For each of the trips that we run, we have recommended accommodation where the majority of our clients choose to stay, but you are completely free to make other arrangements if you prefer (a selection of other accommodation options is included in each joining pack). Likewise, for alpine mountaineering weeks the guide will book mountain huts as required and you just pay for them direct as we go along. |
For those not familiar with mountain huts - most are owned by the national Alpine Club of the country concerned, but a few are also privately owned. A typical alpine hut has accommodation for 50-100 people and they are operated like hostels or basic hotels, serving breakfast and evening meals. Night time accommodation is usually in dorms and these are comfortable and warm places to relax after each days activities. |
