Crossing the Alps made easy: All the important information on preparation, equipment and choosing the right route for your hut tour across the Alps, with lots of personal tips from me. *Advertisement For multi-day tours, I can recommend Feuer & Eis! The tour operator takes care of the complete package. You can either reserve just the huts (or hotels) or you can also choose luggage transport. You also have the choice of whether you set off individually or join a group. Tip: With the voucher code Marlene100 you get a 100 euro discount on your next booking with Feuer & Eis. The code is valid for a total price of at least 1,200 euros and can only be used on Feuer & Eis' own tours. Cannot be combined with other voucher codes and promotions, no cash payout possible. You can find your favorite tour here: https://www.feuer-eis-touristik.de/ -- The hiking guide is also very important - a loyal companion, even if you are out and about in a dead zone or your cell phone has no battery left.
