>>120238>In the alps there are bivouak boxes for alpine emergencies. They're maintained by the alpine clubs, but hikers refill fresh water, and other supplies as well. I usually bring some tea bags and other small supplies when I know I will pass them to stock them up.>Is that how these huts work as well?Most of the huts are taken care of by the Swedish tourist association. They are manned during the summer and you can buy things.
Then there are a few other huts that are meant for emergiencies or for eating lunch in. You cannot use those for overnight stays. But some people do it anyways.
