CABIN WILD is a richly illustrated collection of journeys, stories and practical information from bivouac huts across the European Alps, serving both as a source of inspiration and a guide to adventure. Combining evocative mountain photography with historical insight and personal reflection, CABIN WILD explores the cultural significance of these modest shelters, beacons of hospitality, resilience and alpine heritage. It offers a lens through which to experience the Alps not only as a physical landscape but as a shared space shaped by history and imagination. Volume Two continues eastward from Mont Blanc through the Pennine Alps (Valais and Aosta), Bernese Alps, Lepontine and Rhaetian Alps (Bernina and Ortler) and all the way to the Dolomites.

"We often set our sights on the summits, but years later we remember the nights spent in cabins, sharing stories with friends by lamplight. Cabin Wild perfectly captures the quiet intensity of these mountain shelters that have always been at the heart of ascents in the Alps." Kilian Jornet, mountain athlete
