Fancy trying a hutting holiday?

| Nurnberger Hütte in the Stubai Alps |
Hutting is a great way to enjoy mountains like The Alps, hiking between remote mountain hotels at around 2000m. Once up at that level, you follow waymarked paths, contouring along mountainsides, traversing cols and avoiding too many long ascents and descents. On a clear day the scenery can be stunning. You won't often see many people between huts, except a few at midday doing the route in the opposite direction. You'll probably come across marmots and steinbock, with birds of prey circling overhead.
