Start planningAccommodation planning
The Hiking Club brings booking status, live availability, booking alerts and accommodation details together around your Alta Via 1 itinerary.
Build your itinerary and see the booking status for every overnight stop. Identify what is already accepting bookings, what has not yet opened and which nights still need action.
Plan around rifugios, hotels and guesthouses, and campgrounds where they are available along your route.
Set first-to-know alerts for accommodation that has not opened yet. If your preferred hut is already booked out, set a cancellation alert and we’ll notify you when matching beds or rooms become available.
Choose the accommodation, dates and room types you want to monitor rather than repeatedly checking individual booking systems.
See availability from supported online booking systems without repeatedly searching individual huts. Compare dates and overnight locations to find a workable itinerary.
Compare alternative stages or consider staying off-trail in a nearby village for part of your itinerary.
