If booking by phone:

 To call an Austrian number from outside Austria, use the country code (+43) followed by the area code minus any initial zero, then the rest of the number. To call from inside Austria, include the first zero of the area code. This applies to both landlines and mobile numbers.

 To call an Italian number from outside Italy, use the country code (+39) followed by the area code including the first zero. Area codes for Italian landlines always include an initial zero, whether you are calling from outside or inside Italy. Italian mobile codes begin with 3 (not with zero).

At least three nights on the Karnischer Höhenweg will be spent in mountain huts (Hütte in German, rifugio in Italian), of which there are hundreds scattered all over the Alps. If this is your first long-distance trip in the Alps, mountain huts may take some getting used to, but they are a key part of the alpine walking tradition and their origins date back to the explosion of alpine tourism in the 1890s. They were particularly popular in the German-speaking world, where they were promoted by the German Alpine Club (which at that time was a single club formed of affiliate clubs from Germany and German-speaking parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). The nearest non-alpine equivalent is a youth hostel. Accommodation is in open dormitories or slightly more expensive smaller rooms which, at busy times, will also be shared. The huts are very convivial (expect to meet the same people several times), never run out beer, and provide an opportunity for some sleep (depending on your room-mates) after a good day in the mountains.
