About Us

Built by hikers, for hikers

We're international backpackers living in Bavaria, Germany, about 3.5 hours' drive from the Alps. Visiting the Dolomites, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the Bavarian Alps, we got tired of tab-hopping between alpine club websites just to find a free bed. So we started building Hut Finder to help hikers worldwide plan their dream tours.

Wandern ist in, spätestens seit Corona. Doch die Organisation mehrtägiger Touren kann nervtötend sein. Das soll eine Idee aus Bayreuth ändern.
