What it takes
Hut-to-hut trekking strips backpacking to its essence: walk between mountain huts that provide meals and bunks. The White Mountains AMC hut system, Dolomites rifugi, and Pyrenees refuges let you trek challenging terrain without carrying camping gear. 45% of participants are over 50 — the format rewards steady hiking over speed.
