Experience the magic of hut-to-hut hiking in the Alps.
Hike through spectacular mountain scenery, breathe in the fresh alpine air, and discover breathtaking views around every corner. End each day in a cozy mountain hut, sharing stories and local food with fellow hikers, before setting off on the next stage of your adventure the following morning.
Now comes the less magical part.
Planning a hut-to-hut tour hasn't caught up with modern times. You often have to jump between countless websites, piece together route information, and contact individual huts just to check availability. Since the most popular huts fill up months in advance, you need to start planning early, or risk missing out altogether.
That's where Hut2Hut comes in.
We bring everything together in one place, giving you a clear overview of your entire adventure. Explore routes on an interactive map, see hiking times between huts, and discover practical information. Wherever online booking is available, you can check availability instantly and continue directly to the hut's official booking page. Spend less time planning and more time looking forward to the mountains!
Why Austria?
