Alphütte doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, since its letter pattern doesn't lend itself to common typo substitutions. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is Alphütte, spelled A-L-P-H-Ü-T-T-E.

Sicher wird (unsere Hütte) nicht anders gewesen sein, als nun eben die Alphütten sind, die den Winter über leer stehen, und das Schreckliche ist allein in meiner Phantasie. Daß dies der Fall sein muß, glaube ich daran zu erkennen, weil ich sie immer mit feuchtem Moos überwachsen vor mir sehe, und das sieht man doch an Alphütten nicht, scheint mir.
