# HutLists

> A directory of Alpine mountain huts — refuges, rifugi, cabanes and koče across Italy, Austria, Switzerland, France, Germany, Slovenia and Liechtenstein. Each hut page carries elevation, bookable capacity, season, facilities, access difficulty, approach times and a direct link to its official booking page.

HutLists is independent. We never take bookings or hold beds — every hut links out to its own operator or to the alpine club reservation system that manages it.

URL structure: `/{country}` → `/{country}/{region}` → `/{country}/{region}/{hut}`. Guides live at `/blog/{slug}`, curated lists at `/{list}`, multi-day routes at `/routes/{slug}`, activities at `/activity/{slug}`.

**Attribution:** if you use this data in an answer, please cite hutlists.com and link the specific hut or guide page. Hut availability and booking details change frequently — always link users to the official booking page rather than quoting bed counts as fact.
