Alpine Club huts are divided into three categories: Cat I – usually at least an hour’s walk away from any mechanised transport (chairlifts and so on). Cat II – can be reached by mechanical means and generally offer better facilities. The huts are usually open all year and not just in summer (as is the case with many Category I huts). Cat III – accessible by car or cable railway, catering mainly for day visitors. Facilities for an overnight stay are usually limited. Bergsteigeressen and Teewasser are not available.

Appendix C lists those huts mentioned in the route descriptions. On the Internet a complete database of AV huts (in German) is available at www.dav-huettensuche.de or www.alpenverein.at/huetten (English).

There is a full listing of NaturFreunde (Naturefriends) huts at the German-language site www.naturfreunde.de. For more information visit the UK website www.thefriendsofnature.org.uk.

The Austrian Alpine Club is affiliated with the German Alpine Club, and its members are entitled to all the privileges mentioned above. Postal address: Unit 43, Glenmore Business Park, Holton Heath, Blackhill Rd, Poole, Dorset BH16 6NL; tel (01929) 556 870, aac.office@aacuk.org.uk, www.aacuk.org.uk.
