Distant Journeys can help you discover Austria, Switzerland and northern Italy. Think exhilarating cross-country ski outings or hikes and mountain biking excursions, followed by hearty meals prepared by friends or guides. Think nighttime snuggling as coyotes sing lullabies. This is mountaineering the easy way. The backcountry of the Sierra, Rocky and the Adirondack mountains of the United States and the Swiss and Italian Alps are dotted with simple shelters available to the public overnight.
