Vegetarians: There are always vegetarian options available at the huts. It is important to remind the hut upon arrival of your dietary preferences.

Other Dietary Restrictions: The huts do try to honor all dietary restrictions, but their ability to do so may vary greatly. Several huts receive their food deliveries by helicopter, and at some huts, the staff carry the food supplies to the hut on foot. The kitchens at the huts are small, and many huts are unable to take measures against cross-contamination. Try to be as flexible as your health will allow. Keep in mind that food sensitivities in your home country may not apply abroad, as different regions of the world have different qualities of ingredients and different processes.

When you book a tour with Alpenventures UNGUIDED, we'll ask you about your dietary restrictions and inform the huts in advance. We are not able to promise that any hut will honor a dietary restriction. We advise all customers to remind the hut immediately upon arrival.

On occasion, we have huts who refuse to honor vegan diets, as this is extremely challenging for them, and it may be seen as more of a choice than a health measure (their words, not ours). Sometimes, they may refuse a reservation for a guest requiring a vegan diet. It may be necessary for vegans to accept a vegetarian meal at one or more of the huts to make their itinerary feasible.
