Trails

Featuring winding switchbacks, sandy paths along mountain streams, natural bridges, and incredible views, the trails leading to the huts are some of the best in the world. When using the trail system, you’ll be following white and blue diamonds; white for the main trail which is groomed for skiing in the winter, and blue for ungroomed side trails.
