Abstract
This paper aims to analyse the provisioning, food consumption, and nutritional strategies of the Austro-Hungarian explorer Julius Payer during his pioneering expeditions in the Italian Alps (specifically the Ortler Alps and Adamello-Presanella ranges) in the 1860s-1870s. It highlights the intersection of 19th-century food preservation technology, alpine cultural practices, and the physiological demands of high-altitude exploration, arguing that Payer’s foodways approach was a critical, yet understudied, factor in his successes and hardships.
