Payerhütte in the Ortler Alps, Italy

An Alpine hut is a building located in the mountains intended to provide food and shelter to mountaineers and climbers. Alpine huts are usually operated by a section of an Alpine Club. Most Alpine huts are tended to by Alpine Club personnel throughout the mountaineering season, who prepare meals and drinks for mountaineers, similar to a restaurant, but usually with a limited selection, as it is not always easy to transport the food to the hut. Furthermore, Alpine huts provide simple sleeping berths. Any mountaineer is allowed to access Alpine huts, but members of an Alpine Club usually get a discount. Some huts in more remote areas have no personnel, but mountaineers are allowed to access them.
