Accommodation along Via Alpina Ulrichen – Vernayaz
-
Greetings all. I have an upcoming trip to Switzerland for a backpacking trip (September 10th-22nd). I am thinking of doing the R94 to R107 stages of via-alpina red trails. This is from Ulrichen to Vernayaz (I think it is in the Wallis area). If I can’t do it (physically), I’ll cut it short.
I haven’t been to Switzerland (or europe) before. So I have many questions:
1. I’m planning to camp more than half the time to save on accommodation cost. I couldn’t find too much info on this, is camping allowed? I’m planning to camp at/around the towns/villages that the stages pass.
2. I will be staying in a hut every other night. Can I assume there will be shower?
3. Can I buy just (hot) food from the huts without staying in?
4. Is there access to electricity in the huts so that I can charge my batteries?
5. What about internet (wifi, I will be carrying my iPad)?
6. Do people in the towns/villages speak English?
7. Can I find a topo map with via-alpine route marked on it?
8. Should I carry Euro or CHF?Thanks in advance!
