 In most huts it is customary to pay (by cash only) for meals and accommodation the night before you depart.

 Before departing fold the blankets at the end of your bed, and write your name in the hut book along with a note of your planned destination.

Berghausen and other options

A few berghausen (mountain inns) are also found in some of the high valleys, and these often provide atmospheric overnight lodging that falls midway between that of a traditional mountain hut and a hotel; some of these give the option of a small dormitory as a slightly cheaper alternative to a twin-bedded room.

In resort villages located in outlying or feeder valleys, more mainstream accommodation is usually plentiful, depending on the size and location of the resort in question. The main resorts here are Klosters (www.klosters.ch) in Switzerland and Brand (www.brand.at) in Austria, both of which have hotels of practically all standards, as well as holiday apartments for rent.
