No hotel

Take away the garbage again, deal responsibly with resources, tour sensibly: All of the self -evident behaviors should be on the mountain. Anyone who listens to hut owners learn that this is often not the case in reality. The mountain sport is booming and with the mass of people are coming more and more guests who are confusing alpine protective huts with hotels. Some seem to forget that electricity and water are a close commodity and that food often have to be brought to remote places by helicopter.

Often there is a lack of respect and a fundamental understanding of the conditions on the mountain. Alpine club huts are places of protection and encounter and not 4-star accommodation. As long as not everyone who comes there, you have to help with guidelines such as the hut knig.

With the index finger

The “Hüttenknigge” of the Alpine Club is an important signal – unfortunately in the wrong tone. Instead of talking objectively about scarce resources and booking problems, the guests are preached to the guests as if they are ignorant city flaners.

Constructive communication would be crucial in order to steer the growing interest in mountain tourism sensibly. If you want to inspire people for the mountains, you should not receive them with respect, but with respect. With the appeal that you should please eat yourself and neither shower nor do you shower the cell phone, you don’t create a new mountain culture, but a deterrent. Anyone who hopes for a minimum level of comfort will be declared a scapegoat. The mountain belongs to everyone – not just the ascetic.
