Hiking
Bringing ingredients for meals on these mountain huts is incredibly expensive. On some huts this has to be done by helicopter.
On most mountain huts there is just one "Bergsteiger-Essen" offered and nothing else, no vegan or vegetarian option, because it's simply not working like a restaurant in the city with great infrastructure and a supermarket next doors.
Luckily most mountain-goers will know how to take your review. All the best to you.
