At AV huts you can sleep in either a Matrazenlager or smaller bunkroom. The Matrazenlager is the cheapest and generally consists of a large room with mattresses placed side by side. A pillow and blanket is provided. To get a smaller bunkroom you need to ask for Betten (beds). Pillow, blankets and perhaps a warm eiderdown are provided. As these rooms usually accommodate a maximum of four people they are the better option for a good night’s sleep. Some huts even offer double rooms, the ultimate in luxury! At all AV huts, beds or mattresses may only be used with a Hüttenschlafsack (cloth sleeping bag or bag liner with a pillow envelope) which can be bought at most huts. Please note: if you do not specify Betten or Zimmerlager you will invariably end up in the Matrazenlager.

Most huts have washing facilities, even if that amounts to no more than a basin with cold running water – remember to bring your own towel. Some huts provide hot showers, but you will have to pay extra.

Other requirements: bring sufficient cash (credit/debit cards are seldom accepted) and Hüttenschuhe (slippers with a proper sole) as boots are never permitted in the sleeping areas. A head-lamp and ear-plugs can also be useful. And do not forget to sign the hut book with your name, address and telephone/mobile number. Your tour goal should also be mentioned.
