Climate change in the Alps is associated to several impacts, suh as the evolution of high-altitude environments and glaciers retreat. Some studies highlight the complex connections between water availability, natural hazard, tourism perception and mountain huts adaptation: a comprehensive understanding of climate-related impacts is the first step for drafting future scenarios. In this thesis, a database is built considering high-altitude italian alpine huts which offer freshwater access to visitors, collecting main features and mapping their location. Then the alpine glaciers position and retreat data are analyzed, producing a map to confront the glaciers retreat with the huts positions, identifying cases potentially exposed to climate impact.
