HutScanner is the trip planner for multi-day hut-to-hut hiking in the Alps. Find mountain huts and refuges across the Alps on one map, see how each one can be booked, and link them into a route you can actually complete — then take it all offline into the mountains. PLAN A HUT-TO-HUT TRIP • Browse thousands of huts and refuges across the Alps on a single map • Build a route by hand, or let the route finder connect huts for you • See walking time and distance between huts, with terrain difficulty • Export your route waypoints and booking plan KNOW BEFORE YOU GO • Clear booking info for each hut: online booking, email enquiry, or phone • Filter to only huts you can actually book, so a chain reads as completable • Choose the terrain you're equipped for — standard trails, demanding paths, glacier/alpine, via ferrata WORKS OFFLINE • Region map data is built in — plan and navigate without signal • No account, no sign-up required HONEST ABOUT THE MOUNTAINS HutScanner shows information to help you plan — it does not assess whether a route is safe for you on the day. Glaciated, alpine and via-ferrata terrain requires the right skills, equipment and conditions. You are responsible for your own safety in the mountains. Availability is a best-effort guide gathered from hut and club websites — always confirm directly with the hut before you rely on it. HutScanner is free while in beta. Feedback is very welcome: hi@hutscanner.com
