I have never liked huts of any kind. Very difficult to get decent sleep in a hut. People snore, fart, talk and occasionally even try to have surreptitious sex in them. I much prefer to sleep outside, unless I'm the one having the sex.

This was my favorite (or at least most memorable) wilderness hut, which when finished survived a mini avalanche:
I haven't had the opportunity to use a communal wilderness cabin, but I think I would be with Donini on this one. That said, I can see the fun of socializing with cool people and sharing a nice meal out of a storm.

My experience with huts could not be more different than Jim's.
Well I have had some dismal nights in hut's, around 90% of my stays (in NZ hut's) have been brilliant.
I guess around 60% of my night's have been spent in empty (NZ) huts.

I gotta agree with you there, Jim, snow-caves can be stunning.

haven't stayed in many huts...
the very first was the Mt. Baldy hut, on a Sierra Club Riverside Chapter R.C. section trip to learn how to travel on snow... I remember reading French poetry to a very young woman... but though I had wished to meet the Donini criteria for hut stays, I fell short. That must have been 1969/1970
The second one we stayed outside of, on an attempt of the Presidential Traverse in Feb. 1981... can't remember which hut it was
then in the summer of 1985, first time in the Bug's, the famous
and from the summit of Bugaboo Spire...
you might be able to make out it's distinctive roof.
We also had a climb on Mt. Robson, and stayed at the wonderful facilities there
but haven't stayed in a hut since.

This hut at the base of San Lorenzo was great.....in six visits we always had it to ourselves.
The Hornli Hut on the Matterhorn is to huts what the LA Freeway is to roads.

But at least it's clean! The Alps huts these days do a good thing by keeping people from bivying and defecating everywhere. Most of them are heavily solarized and low impact. The old ones were disgusting.

September of '83--Big bad wolf winds in the Tetons and they blew the hut off the saddle. We didn't go up to see but there were wonderful stories of people crawling from boulder to boulder working there way out of Garnet Canyon

Passed by a few huts (including the Baldy hut alot), I've only slept in two that I can remember: the Muir hut on Rainier (late season though so it was virtually empty) and the Neltner hut at the foot of Mt. Toubkal in the High Atlas. That was pretty empty as well.
I always stayed in many inns/shelters while doing the Annapurna Circuit back in the early 90s. Those seem to fall into a different category though.

Here's one that's more of a "don't die in the storm" than an intended lodging:
Above Lago di Como a little south of the Italy/Switzerland border.

No thread about alpine huts is complete without a picture of the Red Tit hut in the Tantalus Range in southwestern BC. It's long since gone, but most of us old Coasties spent a night or two in it.

Yes Reilly, we're pretty fortunate to have such an extensive back country hut system. There's always an outside chance you could end up sharing a hut with someone else!

These Italian rifugi in the Dolomiti are more substantial than most of the spartan mountain shelters indicated in this thread.
But more than a few of them require hiking or even scrambling to access.
Approaching Rifugio Locatelli:

Nice touch, meals served with napkins that have relevant maps printed on them!

The Arestua hut on Guinn Mountain, just west of Eldora ski area above Boulder Colorado:
Being more of a rope and rack and the shirt on my back kind of guy, my style of backcountry skiing is predicated solely on travel and fitness. I don't go out looking for turns, just mileage. Skinny skis, no overburdening pack. I never do overnight hut trips with oodles of gear on my back. I prefer to go light, only going out for long day trips, and I usually just motor right past huts like this, ski through style, and out the other side ...

Huts in Swiss/Italian Alps are very nice- the brits tend to noisey up the place- Agree with Jim Hornlihutte is a nightmare followed by the Gouter hut and Tete Rose. Vajollet hut in Dolomites is rarely busy.Here is Caban du Mont Fort - Verbier
