Wandelgids - Reisgids The Mountain Hut Book | Cicerone

This book is a celebration of mountain huts, showcasing the the sheer variety and sometimes quirky nature of these buildings that allow walkers, trekkers and climbers to access remote corners of the mountains. Packed with entertaining stories that bring the places and people to life, it contains descriptions of the author's favourite huts in the Alps, along with suggestions for hut-to-hut tours of 3-13 days duration, including the Tour of Mont Blanc.

It also traces the history of huts and how they have evolved from the most primitive of shelters to the often purpose-built, eco-friendly buildings of today. For the uninitiated, it unravels some of the mystery of huts and explains how to use them and what facilities to expect. Above all, it illustrates the way in which mountain huts can be truly sociable places, where like-minded people can spend a night or two in the most magical of locations and share a love of wild places.

Reviews:

[This book is] practical, interesting, and deserves a place on the bookshelf of all that have enjoyed (or wish to enjoy) staying in huts

If you've ever stayed in a hut while hiking in mountains, you'll know just what amazing places they can be. Far from being just a place for shelter, they often bring like-minded people of all nationalities together to swap stories, share laughter and forge lifelong friendships. This is something that Kev Reynolds believes; so much so that he wrote a book about it.

 

The Mountain Hut Book explores what makes the mountain hut experience so special and how things have changed or evolved over the years. Written in an informative and entertaining style, the book also looks at Kev's personal favourites and holds suggestions for some truly incredible hut-to-hut hiking routes. It's practical, interesting, and deserves a place on the bookshelf of all that have enjoyed (or wish to enjoy) staying in huts.

 

An entertaining read

Although it covers a lot of ground, the information in this book is very accessible and provides an entertaining read. It is a useful addition for any mountain trip in which the use of huts may be involved.
