Hut-to-hut hiking is a breathtaking way to experience the European Alps. Over 5000 miles of trails connect huts and villages throughout this part of the world. There is no need to carry a heavy pack in order to enjoy the scenery, food, and camaraderie of hikers from all parts of the world. Here I share some of my favorite 7-14 day hiking tours in Austria, France, Italy, and Switzerland. If you're an experienced hut-to-hut hiker, I hope you'll discover some new routes you'd like to try. If this is your first time to try a long-distance hike in the Alps, I hope you'll benefit from the information on hiking tours and trip planning contained in this site.
