The history of the Swiss Alpine Club and the alpinists' first
mountain huts go hand in hand - both first appearing in 1863. In
2013, 150 years later 'The Huts of the Swiss Alpine Club' has been
published as a celebration of these icons of the Swiss mountain
landscape. The huts now belong to the cultural heritage of the
Swiss Alps and the mountains would seem incomplete without them.
Today there are 152 SAC huts and they can be found high up on the
Matterhorn or above the Glacier d'Otemma while others are lower
down the mountains in green, grassy areas - each one has its own
history. Nowadays they are used by alpinists, mountaineers, skiers
and families. 'The Huts of the Swiss Alpine Club' celebrates the
huts' diverse architecture and jaw dropping locations. This lavish
book is a glossy, photographic record of these buildings.
Background information is given for each and is accompanied by
inspiring mountain photography. In addition the authors have
provided an overview map, a short history, and appendices giving
operational details of each hut and statistics and graphs.
