Swiss Alpine Club Huts
There are 153 Swiss Alpine Club huts available at concessionary rates to AC members. As is usual with concessionary rates in alpine huts, the reduction applies to accommodation charges only (not to food and drinks). The guardian should automatically recognise the concession when Alpine Club members produce their membership card but, in case of difficultly, the SAC document authorising such concessions is available here. AC members may wish to print off a copy and carry it with them as insurance against any issues.
