Can I snowshoe to the huts?

th Mountain Huts Frequently Asked Questions -- FAQ
Yes, traveling to the huts on snowshoes is an option. If you are not a confident backcountry skier or are new to traveling with a pack in the winter, snowshoes could be a good choice. Travel by snowshoes can be slower and more tiring than skiing, especially in deep, untracked snow.

The choice is up to you!
