the insides

here is your chance to see what a typical hut in the alps looks like on the inside.

When you walk in, you've got the barn for the cows, and just above is a loft. That used to be the best place to sleep when the cows were there, because it was the warmest. But the hut has been remodeled so the inside is warmer.

The woodburning stove, you can see we are melting snow so there we had warm water, there is a spot for water in the stove. There is no running water, but a spring fed well up the hill. There is a bit of electricity from solar panels, very cool.

View of the kitchen

if you follow the pipe from the previous picture, this is where it goes, up this chimney, keeps a cold draft though.

The other room, bedroom/dining room, a cute little loft up the ladder, and that tiny woodburning stove to keep the room warm.

I totally forgot to get a picture of the bathroom, it was just a camp toilet in the far corner of the barn, pretty great.
