The mountain hut book

Huts are more than just shelters. They can be meeting places for climbers. They can be staging posts for trekkers on a multi-day tour. Or they can be somewhere to visit on a there-and-back day's hike from a valley base ; somewhere to stop for lunch perhaps, to sit outside in the sunshine, enjoy the view, and then move on. Informative and entertaining, this book explores what makes the mountain hut experience so special, from how huts have developed to modern-day hut etiquette.
Key Reynolds draws on his vast experience of mountain exploration, giving examples of huts throughout the Alps and outlining his favourites. With personal anecdotes and suggestions for hut-to-hut routes, this is a book both for old hands and for newcomers to the hutting experience.
