01 / THE BENCH BY THE DOORMORNING SUN

Alero sits where the summer path ends. In winter you come up on skis or snowshoes, and someone from the hut walks the last stretch with you.

Downstairs there is one big room with the stove and a long table. Upstairs, six bedrooms. That is the whole house.

  1. I

    North room

    Double bed, wool blankets, the window looks straight at the face. It sits over the stove, so it is the warmest one.

  2. II

    Under the eaves

    Two single beds and a sloped ceiling. When the wind picks up you hear it on the roof.

  3. III–VI

    All with their own bathroom and hot water all day. Towels warm on the rail.

02 / SECOND COFFEE

When it is like this, nobody leaves the hut. Bread goes in the oven, someone finds the cards, and the stove gets fed every hour. The mountain will be there tomorrow.

Dinner at seven.
One long table.

One menu a night, cooked for everyone in the hut: soup, something slow from the oven, and whatever got baked while it snowed.

Tell us when you book if there is anything you don't eat.

A small round table by candlelight, a lamp and a gilded mirror on the wall behind.
