The ultimate hut-to-hut packing list (for multi-day hikes without camping gear)

14 April 2025

Multi-day hiking doesn’t always mean carrying a tent, stove, and 20kg pack— hut-to-hut hikes are the perfect middle ground between rugged backcountry and lightweight adventure. Whether you’re trekking through the Italian Dolomites, staying in alpine huts in New Zealand, or hiking between mountain refuges in South America, this style of hiking is all about efficiency: carrying just the essentials and staying light.

This packing list is exactly what I’ve carried on countless multi-day hut hikes around the world. Some gear will depend on location and weather, but most of these items are compact, lightweight, and versatile enough for any hut-to-hut route!

This post contains affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you purchase something I recommend, at no extra cost to you. I ONLY recommend gear that I personally use (or that James uses) and that we genuinely LOVE— your support helps keep this site going and the adventures rolling!

What to pack for a multi-day hut-to-hut hike

This list is tailored for multi-day hikes where you’ll be staying in huts or refuges— meaning you don’t need to carry a tent, full sleep system, or cook set. This lightens your pack significantly compared to other multi-day backpacking trips, but you still need to be well-prepared for changing conditions and multi-day wear.

Use your judgement to adapt this list for the terrain, remoteness, and whatever weather you’re expecting. Personally, I always prefer to see an item on my list and choose not to pack it than to forget something that turns out to be essential. Everything here has been tested across hut hikes in the Alps, the Andes, the Southern Alps of NZ, and beyond!

My favourite day-hiking pack (Osprey Talon 33) in the Dolomites

Best hut-to-hut backpack

Hut-to-hut hiking is the ultimate minimalist adventure— you still need to be self-sufficient, but without the burden of carrying a full tent and camp kitchen. A well-fitted day-hiking pack is usually perfect for carrying your layers, sleep gear, snacks, and personal items!

👉🏼 Check out our complete guide for specific advice on daypacks (which work great for hut-to-hut): How to choose the best hiking backpack for every outdoor adventure


Daypack (25–35L)

A 25–35L daypack is perfect for carrying hut essentials, layers, water, snacks, and emergency gear for just about every multi-day hut hike. Look for a supportive hipbelt, a ventilated back panel, and quick-access storage for sunnies, snacks & safety gear.

Best overall: Osprey Tempest 30 (women’s) / Osprey Talon 33 (men’s)

Best for upgraded support: Osprey Sirrus 36 (Women’s) / Stratos 36 (Men’s)


Raincover

Protects your gear from sudden downpours— some packs come with one built-in, but if not, make sure to pack a lightweight rain cover that fits over your bag (REI’s size small works for 25-35L dayhiking packs).

Best overall: REI Co-op Duck’s Back Pack Rain Cover


Summit pack

If your hike includes side-trips or optional summits, a lightweight summit pack is a great addition to avoid carrying your full pack everywhere.

Best overall: REI Co-op Flash 18


my go-to boots for rugged hut-to-hut hikes in the Alps!

Best boots for hut-to-hut hiking

Your feet are putting in serious kilometres on a hut-to-hut trek, so footwear matters more here than it does on a short day-hike. In all cases, you’ll want a supportive, waterproof boot (or shoe!) with good tread, plus proper socks to avoid blisters and fatigue.

👉🏼 For a deep dive into boots, check out my full guide: How to choose the best trail shoes, hiking boots & mountaineering boots for every outdoor adventure


Alta Via 1 2 4 Packing List- Italian Dolomites

Hiking boots

If you’re scrambling or otherwise heading off-trail, I’d recommend a lightweight mountaineering boot with a stiff sole & shaft; if you’re mostly on a maintained trail, lightweight hiking boots will definitely be more comfortable.

Best boots for trail: adidas Terrex Free Hiker 2.0 GTX Hiking Boots (women’s) / (men’s)

Best boots for terrain: La Sportiva Trango Tech GTX Mountaineering Boots (women’s) / (men’s)

If you’re running parts of the trail or looking to go ultra-light, we’d recommend swapping your boots for a robust trail runner (James loves his!)

Best trail shoe: La Sportiva Prodigio (women’s) / (men’s)


Alta Via 1 2 4 Packing List- Italian Dolomites

Boot socks

Proper hiking socks are nearly as important as your boots. Choose moisture-wicking merino wool to prevent blisters, manage sweat, and keep your feet warm even if they get damp.

Best overall: Darn Tough Hiker Micro Crew Cushion Socks (women’s) / (men’s)


Alta Via 1 2 4 Packing List- Italian Dolomites

Liner socks

Thin liner socks help prevent friction and can be layered under hiking socks for longer multi-day hikes. I discovered these toe-sock liners about 8 years ago and I’ve been evangelising ever since— if you struggle with blisters, this should be your first line of defence!

Best overall: Injinji Liner Crew


Alta Via 1 2 4 Packing List- Italian Dolomites

Trekking poles

Trekking poles become even more important on long hut trips— they help manage fatigue on big days, improve balance when your legs are tired, and reduce wear-and-tear on your joints, especially on descents with a loaded pack.

Best overall: Black Diamond Trail Trekking Poles


Alta Via 1 2 4 Packing List- Italian Dolomites
If you only carry one safety item, it should be the Garmin in-reach mini

Safety & navigation

Even when staying in huts, you’re still in remote mountain terrain much of the day, often far from help. We always carry a GPS navigation app, a fully charged PLB, and a headlamp for early starts or late arrivals. Multi-day trips also mean more time on trail, and more chance of weather, illness, or injury, so a powerbank and upgraded first aid kit are additional must-haves.

👉🏼 I build custom GPS tracks for challenging, convoluted, backcountry routes (everything from an Aconcagua expedition to my custom 10-day Huayhuash Circuit route), check them out on my new shopfront: brookebeyond Custom GPS Maps


Alta Via 1 2 4 Packing List- Italian Dolomites

PLB/SOS

A Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) is your lifeline in the outdoors and we NEVER go hiking without our Garmin InReach Mini 2, which allows us to send messages, get weather updates, track location, and place an SOS call in an emergency, even without phone service. It does require a subscription (starting at $12/month), but it’s worth every cent and has literally saved both of my parents’ lives in the backcountry!

Best overall: Garmin InReach Mini 2


Alta Via 1 2 4 Packing List- Italian Dolomites

GPS

Gone are the days where you have to purchase an expensive, clunky GPS device to access maps in the backcountry— the absolute best GPS resource is the smartphone you already own, paired with a reliable, low-cost GPS mapping app that allows you to access detailed offline Topo maps and navigate via GPS satellites, even without mobile service

Our go-to is CalTopo, which costs just $20/year and is by far the most feature-rich, affordable, and accurate mapping tool out there.

As a supplement, we also use James’ Garmin Fenix 7X Pro, which is great for on-trail wrist navigation and turn-by-turn cues. But I still wouldn’t rely on it as our only GPS source.

Best GPS app: CalTopo (mobile app)

Best GPS watch: Garmin Fenix 7X Pro


First Aid Kit

For multiple days on the trail, it’s recommended to carry a larger med kit than you might on a dayhike. Pre-assembled kits from Adventure Medical are a great place to start, but as you get more trail time under your belt, you’ll want to customise it based on your needs and preferences.

We always include:
• a mix of NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen)
• antihistamines (Claritin for allergies, Benadryl for bites/stings)
• a small selection of stomach meds (like Imodium or Pepto tabs)
• a roll of KT tape (insanely versatile for everything from blisters to rolled ankles)
• alcohol wipes, antiseptic, a few large gauze pads, and blister plasters like Compeed

Best pre-packaged First Aid Kit: Adventure Medical Kits Backpacker


Alta Via 1 2 4 Packing List- Italian Dolomites

Headlamp

Essential for alpine starts, late arrivals, or simply walking around the hut at night. Choose something lightweight, rechargeable, and reliable!

Best overall: Black Diamond Spot 400-R


Alta Via 1 2 4 Packing List- Italian Dolomites

Powerbank

Between GPS, your phone, camera, and headlamp, something is going to need a charge. We carry a compact powerbank with built-in cables to keep everything topped up for the entire trek. This is especially nice on a hut-to-hut trek where you have some power access— leave your power bank charging in the common area instead of your phone!

Best overall: VRURC Portable Charger with Built-in Cables, 10000mAh


Alta Via 4 Italian Dolomites hiking via ferrata guide
hut to hut hiking in the Dolomites

Hut gear

Even though you’re not camping, hut hiking still calls for a few comfort items— most huts provide a mattress and blanket, but you’ll usually need to bring your own sleep sack and pillow. It’s also worth packing hut shoes for comfort and cleanliness inside the hut, and a dry change of clothes so you’re not sitting around in your sweaty trail gear each evening.


Alta Via 1 2 4 Packing List- Italian Dolomites

Sleep sack

Most European and NZ huts require you to bring a sleep sack or sleeping bag liner for hygiene. Even when it’s not mandatory, it adds a layer of warmth and keeps you from sleeping directly on shared bedding, plus it packs to the size of an avocado!

Best overall: Sea to Summit Silk + Cotton Liner


Camp pillow

After a big hiking day, it’s worth having a small pillow for a better night’s sleep. Inflatable models pack down tiny and weigh next to nothing, but make a huge difference.

Best overall: Sea to Summit Aeros Premium


Comfortable hut clothes

There’s nothing better than pulling on a clean, dry outfit after hiking all day. We each pack a soft pair of leggings or joggers and a Merino base layer— comfy enough to wear to dinner in the hut (usually under another jacket), warm enough to sleep in.

Best overall: Arc’teryx Rho Baselayer (women’s) / (men’s)


Hut shoes

Most huts ask you to remove your hiking boots indoors, so bring a pair of lightweight shoes or sandals to wear around the hut— think Crocs, slides, or down booties, depending on the temps you’re expecting.

Best for moderate weather: Teva Original

Best for extreme cold: Mountain Hardwear Down Bootie


when you’re not drinking beer in the hut…

Water storage & food

Just because you’re not camping doesn’t mean you don’t need to plan your hydration and fuelling carefully! Note: this packing list is written for catered hut-to-hut hikes (where you’re not cooking your own food), but many hut-to-hut routes in Scandinavia and New Zealand are unserviced, so you’ll have to bring a stove + cookware on top of what’s listed here.

👉🏼 Take a look at my overnight backpacking list for details on our recommended camp kitchen: the ultimate OVERNIGHT BACKPACKING packing list


Water filter

Huts typically don’t have potable water, so even though you’re sleeping indoors, a compact water filter is absolutely essential. This also allows you to refill from lakes and streams during the daytime.

Best overall: Katadyn BeFree 1.oL Water Filter


Water bottle or bladder

I don’t use bladders on overnight trips since they can be so annoying to fill, so I always pack a standard Nalgene bottles for hut-to-hut hikes.

Best water bottle: Nalgene Wide Mouth

Best water bladder: Osprey Hydraulics Reservoir 2L


Electrolytes

If you’re sweating a lot and/or gaining serious elevation, drinking plain water simply isn’t enough to replenish the salts your body is losing. I recommend adding electrolyte tablets to every litre of water during hard hikes to help with performance and hydration!

Best overall: Liquid IV


Alta Via 1 2 4 Packing List- Italian Dolomites

Snacks (as needed)

You don’t need to go too overboard on snacks for most hut-to-hut routes, as there may be occasional access to food. For true backcountry routes, high-protein, high-calorie, and high-glucose foods keep energy up and moods high.

👉🏼 Confused about what food to pack?! How to pack food for multi-day backcountry adventures: our tips for maximising calories & minimising weight


Hut to hut hiking in New Zealand

Extra layers

This section isn’t about what clothes you should wear every day of your hike—it’s about what layers you should be carrying in your pack as minimum safety gear in the event that conditions change on the trail. Weather in the mountains can shift quickly, and summit passes can get windy even in good weather, so most routes will benefit from a long-sleeve layer, synthetic insulation, GoreTex rain shell, and gloves/Buff. Add or subtract at your own discretion.

👉🏼 For more guidance on what to wear, check out my outdoor layering guide: How to build an outdoor layering system for backcountry hiking & extreme alpine conditions


Long-sleeve layer

This is your first layer of real warmth and protection if conditions start to shift— in summer, it might be as simple as a lightweight Merino wool top that keeps the sun off and regulates body temp; in cooler weather, opt for something heavier like a fleece quarter-zip.

Best for warmer weather: Arc’teryx Rho LT Zip Neck (women’s) / (men’s)

Best for colder weather: Arc’teryx Kyanite Zip Neck Base Layer Top (women’s) / Rho Heavyweight Zip Neck (men’s)


Synthetic insulation layer

For summer hut-to-huts, synthetic insulation is usually a smarter choice than down— it’ll still keep you warm if it gets wet and it’s totally fine to sweat in it (unlike down, which you really shouldn’t hike in).

If you’re doing a high-altitude hike or expect very cold nighttime conditions in the hut, you might consider also packing a down jacket, but for most trips, one synthetic insulation layer is plenty.

Best overall: Arc’teryx Atom Insulated Hoody (women’s) / (men’s)

Best down layer: Arc’teryx Cerium Hoody (women’s) / (men’s)


GoreTex rain shell layer

A rain jacket is your lightweight shield against wind, storms, and unexpected mountain weather. Even if you don’t wear it every day, this should always be in your pack.

Best overall: Arc’teryx Beta SL (women’s) / (men’s)


Lightweight hiking gloves

Gloves can make a huge difference in your overall comfort if the weather turns! A light fleece or wool pair will keep your fingers warm on exposed ridgelines or breezy mornings, and they weigh basically nothing.

Best overall: Outdoor Research Trail Mix Gloves (women’s) / (men’s)


Waterproof exterior mittens

If there’s any chance of rain or snow on the route, bring a lightweight pair of waterproof shell mittens to layer over your gloves for extra warmth and full weather protection. I’ve used the Outdoor Research Revel Shell Mitts for years, but they appear to’ve been discontinued, so this is a great alternative.

Best overall: Black Diamond Waterproof Overmitts


Buff

This super compact, multi-functional neck tube is an outdoor staple on every trip— use it as a scarf, headband, to block sun and wind, to wipe sweat off your face, to blow your nose… the list is endless and we never go hiking without one!

Best overall: Buff Original

Best for extreme cold: Buff Polar


Alta Via 1 2 4 Packing List- Italian Dolomites

Beanie

For early starts, breezy passes, or chilly nights in the hut, a warm beanie is an easy add!

Best overall: Arc’teryx Mallow Toque


hut to hut hiking on the Laugavegur in Iceland

Personal items

Even though you’ll be staying in a hut, you’re still in the backcountry— which means staying clean, protected, and prepared takes just a little extra thought. Bring what you need to feel comfortable at night, manage your bathroom needs on trail, and stay protected from the elements during long days of hiking. These bits might feel small, but they make a big difference over multiple days.


Toiletries

Toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, deodorant, medications, contact solution… whatever you need to stay clean and comfortable for multiple days on the trail!

Some huts offer showers (especially in the Alps), but we like to carry a few wipes to freshen up at the end of the day, just in case.


Bathroom bits

Even though you’ll have access to hut bathrooms in the mornings and evenings, you’ll be on your own throughout the day. Grab a small pouch or ZipLock and pack toilet paper, hand sanitiser, and a spare bag to pack out used items if needed.


Kula Cloth (for women)

This reusable antimicrobial pee cloth is designed specifically for backcountry female hygiene— it’s absorbent on one side, waterproof on the other, and treated with silver ions to resist bacteria growth and odour.

It’s easy to wash, dries fast, snaps shut for discretion, and clips onto the outside of your pack so it’s always accessible. Not only is it way more hygienic than carrying used toilet paper in a ziplock, but it also seriously reduces your trail waste, making it a no-brainer for sustainable hiking and women’s health on the go.

Best overall: Kula Cloth


Alta Via 1 2 4 Packing List- Italian Dolomites

Sun safety

Sun exposure builds quickly on alpine ridgelines or snowy traverses, so make sure to pack SPF 50+ sunscreen, SPF lip balm, polarised sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat or technical cap. On snow, we both wear glacier glasses to protect against UV reflection, and James loves a lightweight SPF sunshirt for extra coverage.

Best glacier glasses: Julbo Vermont

Best sun hat: Arc’teryx Gamma 5-Panel Cap


Camera (optional!)

One woman’s extra is another woman’s essential, and we wouldn’t leave home without a camera! This is what we personally shoot all our mountain photos with:

Best overall: Canon R6 Mark II + 24-105mm lens

Best compact: Fujifilm x100vi

Hey, I'm Brooke and I'm obsessed with getting off the beaten path, exploring backcountry gems & travelling beyond the ordinary! I left Australia 5 years ago after finishing a PhD in Biomechanics & have been travelling the world full-time ever since (joined by my life/climbing partner, James). Whether it’s road-tripping through Mexico, climbing alpine peaks in the Andes, scuba diving in the Red Sea, or tackling epic via ferrata in the Dolomites, I hope this blog will inspire your future adventures & help you find wonder in every corner of the globe. xx bb

    Hi Brooke,
    Thanks for your great website, you definitely inspired us.
    We’re going to be in the Dolomites this summer doing hut to hut in the Rosengarten Range (we wanted to do your Alta Via 4 itinerary but finding space in the huts was not working well!). I’m looking into sleeping bag liners but not sure about the temperatures in the huts. Do they tend to be warm? Cold? I notice that you recommend a pretty light liner, so maybe cold is not a problem?
    Thanks,
    David

      Hi David, so excited to hear that! We did a hut to hut through the Rosengarten last summer too, I haven’t written it up yet– what’s your route?

      All of the huts provide bedding, meaning actual blankets, so I’d say it’s definitely warm enough. I’m a terribly cold sleeper, and while I did wear fleece layers and socks at night, I was still plenty warm with the lightweight liner and didn’t overheat on the nights where it was sweltering in the bunk room.

      Hope that helps!

  • Thanks to everyone who’s checked in wondering where on earth I’ve disappeared to this past month… well, I’ve been dealing with an unexpected & rather serious knee issue and ended up having surgery here in San Cristóbal last week. 

It’s a long & depressing story, but basically I developed a rare inflammatory condition in the lining of my knee joint (that I’ve had previously in my ankle) and within 2 weeks I went from 100% healthy to literally unable to walk.

We’re extremely lucky to have been renting an apartment in San Cris during this time so I had access to high-quality medical care at a price that wouldn’t bankrupt us (uninsured outside Australia, heyooo 🤙🏼). 

I was able to get an MRI for $100 out of pocket, we found a really awesome local orthopaedic surgeon trained in arthroscopy, and I’ve been going to rehab a couple times a week with the sweetest physios. The fact that this happened in Mexico, where I feel at home and speak the language and everything just happens quickly/without a lot of formality is a true blessing. 

And still, it’s been really hard. I’ve spent most of the last month in bed, James has to carry me to the bathroom, and I haven’t even been able to shower for 10 days because of bandages. We had to cancel all of our summer climbing plans and not knowing when I’ll be able to walk or hike again has been heartbreaking for me.

Sharing this because I think full-time travel can appear perfect online, but beyond the highlight reel, there are plenty of shitty moments too— plans get cancelled, money is lost, injuries happen far from home, recovery doesn’t happen any quicker for me than it does for anyone else.

We’re staying put in Mexico for another few weeks and then hopefully moving to the next destination, but suffice to say 2025 is going to look a lot different than we imagined ❤️‍🩹
  • ገና (GENA) ETHIOPIAN CHRISTMAS ✞🕯️✨

Weeks after most of the world has packed away their decorations (because Ethiopia follows its own ancient calendar, Christmas here falls on January 7th), a million worshippers all draped in white gather around Lalibela’s rock-hewn churches for Gena. 

This is the centre of Orthodox Christianity in Africa & many have walked barefoot for weeks across mountains just to be here, seeking blessings from the local priests & divinity from the wrinkled monks [photos 3 & 12].

Makeshift camps are set up in the fields around Lalibela [photos 6-7] & strangers become neighbours for a few weeks, cooking & singing & praying & sharing food in the build-up to Christmas. 

On the night of January 6th, thousands assemble at Bet Maryam for an all-night vigil, Ge’ez hymns & drumbeats reverberating in the candlelight & whispered prayers filling the air [photos 15-17]. By sunrise, the 43-day fast (of animal products) is broken & most families slaughter a goat or sheep for the occasion.

Even as a foreign atheist, the whole experience was inarguably divine ✞🕯️✨

  • ETHIOPIA’S TREKKING PARADISE ⛰️🇪🇹

Jagged peaks, sheer cliffs dropping thousands of metres, endless canyonlands & high-elevation plantlife that looks straight out of a fantasy novel.

The Simien Mountains are one of the most spectacular trekking destinations in the world—so why is no one talking about it?!

For 3 days, we hiked through some of the most dramatic landscapes I’ve ever seen, completely alone except for troops of Gelada Baboons (the “bleeding heart monkeys” that only live here). And at Imet Gogo, the most famous viewpoint, we sat on the edge of the escarpment in total awe & complete silence, no one but our local trekking guide for miles.

If you’re looking for epic trekking without the masses, Ethiopia needs to be on your radar. And luckily, we’ve got a group hiking trip on the calendar for November 😍

✨ DM for early access! ✨

  • Thanks to everyone who’s checked in wondering where on earth I’ve disappeared to this past month… well, I’ve been dealing with an unexpected & rather serious knee issue and ended up having surgery here in San Cristóbal last week. 

It’s a long & depressing story, but basically I developed a rare inflammatory condition in the lining of my knee joint (that I’ve had previously in my ankle) and within 2 weeks I went from 100% healthy to literally unable to walk.

We’re extremely lucky to have been renting an apartment in San Cris during this time so I had access to high-quality medical care at a price that wouldn’t bankrupt us (uninsured outside Australia, heyooo 🤙🏼). 

I was able to get an MRI for $100 out of pocket, we found a really awesome local orthopaedic surgeon trained in arthroscopy, and I’ve been going to rehab a couple times a week with the sweetest physios. The fact that this happened in Mexico, where I feel at home and speak the language and everything just happens quickly/without a lot of formality is a true blessing. 

And still, it’s been really hard. I’ve spent most of the last month in bed, James has to carry me to the bathroom, and I haven’t even been able to shower for 10 days because of bandages. We had to cancel all of our summer climbing plans and not knowing when I’ll be able to walk or hike again has been heartbreaking for me.

Sharing this because I think full-time travel can appear perfect online, but beyond the highlight reel, there are plenty of shitty moments too— plans get cancelled, money is lost, injuries happen far from home, recovery doesn’t happen any quicker for me than it does for anyone else.

We’re staying put in Mexico for another few weeks and then hopefully moving to the next destination, but suffice to say 2025 is going to look a lot different than we imagined ❤️‍🩹
  • ገና (GENA) ETHIOPIAN CHRISTMAS ✞🕯️✨

Weeks after most of the world has packed away their decorations (because Ethiopia follows its own ancient calendar, Christmas here falls on January 7th), a million worshippers all draped in white gather around Lalibela’s rock-hewn churches for Gena. 

This is the centre of Orthodox Christianity in Africa & many have walked barefoot for weeks across mountains just to be here, seeking blessings from the local priests & divinity from the wrinkled monks [photos 3 & 12].

Makeshift camps are set up in the fields around Lalibela [photos 6-7] & strangers become neighbours for a few weeks, cooking & singing & praying & sharing food in the build-up to Christmas. 

On the night of January 6th, thousands assemble at Bet Maryam for an all-night vigil, Ge’ez hymns & drumbeats reverberating in the candlelight & whispered prayers filling the air [photos 15-17]. By sunrise, the 43-day fast (of animal products) is broken & most families slaughter a goat or sheep for the occasion.

Even as a foreign atheist, the whole experience was inarguably divine ✞🕯️✨

  • CUSTOM GPS MAPS NOW LIVE!!!!! 🗺️🌎📍

✨ shop.brookebeyond.com ✨

Before every single backpacking trip, hut-to-hut & alpine expedition, I spend dozens of hours building a custom GPS track to help me navigate along the route confidently, especially when going off-trail (as I love to do).

And after MANY requests to share my custom routes, I am finally ready to release super detailed JSON/GPX files that you can use to plan your own epic adventure off the beaten path— navigating right off your smartphone!!!

With new detailed notes at every single waypoint, better route beta, more alternatives, and updates based on my successful adventures, these maps reflect a lot of work + I am super excited to share them with the world 🗺️

For now, I’ve got Alta Via 2, Alta Via 4, and Aconcagua summit (via Horcones Valley) for sale, with more in the pipeline sooooon

✨ please share with anyone planning to hike AV2/AV4 or climb Aconcagua✨

  • Ethiopia is one of the few places on Earth where you can trek across day-old lava flows & stand at the edge of a crater filled with liquid fire.

✨ Erta Ale & more included on our Ethiopia adventure trip in November, check out full details at bit.ly/beyond-Ethiopia ✨

Would you get this close?! 👀🔥

Weeks after most of the world has packed away their decorations (because Ethiopia follows its own ancient calendar, Christmas here falls on January 7th), a million worshippers all draped in white gather around Lalibela’s rock-hewn churches for Gena. 

This is the centre of Orthodox Christianity in Africa & many have walked barefoot for weeks across mountains just to be here, seeking blessings from the local priests & divinity from the wrinkled monks [photos 3 & 12].

Makeshift camps are set up in the fields around Lalibela [photos 6-7] & strangers become neighbours for a few weeks, cooking & singing & praying & sharing food in the build-up to Christmas. 

On the night of January 6th, thousands assemble at Bet Maryam for an all-night vigil, Ge’ez hymns & drumbeats reverberating in the candlelight & whispered prayers filling the air [photos 15-17]. By sunrise, the 43-day fast (of animal products) is broken & most families slaughter a goat or sheep for the occasion.

Even as a foreign atheist, the whole experience was inarguably divine ✞🕯️✨

CUSTOM GPS MAPS NOW LIVE!!!!! 🗺️🌎📍

✨ shop.brookebeyond.com ✨

Before every single backpacking trip, hut-to-hut & alpine expedition, I spend dozens of hours building a custom GPS track to help me navigate along the route confidently, especially when going off-trail (as I love to do).

And after MANY requests to share my custom routes, I am finally ready to release super detailed JSON/GPX files that you can use to plan your own epic adventure off the beaten path— navigating right off your smartphone!!!

With new detailed notes at every single waypoint, better route beta, more alternatives, and updates based on my successful adventures, these maps reflect a lot of work + I am super excited to share them with the world 🗺️

For now, I’ve got Alta Via 2, Alta Via 4, and Aconcagua summit (via Horcones Valley) for sale, with more in the pipeline sooooon

✨ please share with anyone planning to hike AV2/AV4 or climb Aconcagua✨
