  • The Covid-19 protective measures valid at the time must be observed.
  • Due to their location, not all huts can offer running water, hot water or showers. In some cases there is also no flushing system in the toilets. 
  • On most huts, card payment is not possible. Take enough cash with you for food and drinks.
