At most one email a month, about which huts have space

The same data the planner runs on, sent no more than monthly so you know when to book rather than finding out in August.

What arrives

The availability picture. Which regions still have beds on the popular nights, which are filling, and where the quiet ground is. It comes out of the same daily sync the planner uses, so it is the real state of the network rather than a guess.

New regions, first. When a region pack goes live it is in the next letter before it is anywhere else.

What changed in the planner. Short, and only when something actually changed.

What does not

No weekly mail, no gear affiliate links, no sponsored placements, and no passing your address to anyone else. One a month is the ceiling, not a schedule: if a month has nothing worth saying, nothing goes out. Once in a year there may be a second one, if something happens that will not keep.

Why you might want it

Alpine huts on the well-known stages fill months ahead, and the moment they open their season is the single most useful thing to know. That moment moves every year and no hut announces it in one place. Reading a short note every few weeks is the cheapest way not to miss it.
