Yurts and Huts
Yurts, reminiscent of tents used by nomads on the steppes of Mongolia and Siberia, are round tents on a wooden frame with circular skylights and windows to provide illumination. Huts are minimal shelters accessed by off-road-capable vehicles, or hikers in the summer and skiers in the winter. Yurts and huts are available year-round. All yurts and huts require a minimum two night stay.
