It was about 80 euros a night incl food. More when in a town in a hotel. Consider France and Austria as they are significantly cheaper than Switzerland right now.
Route you chose depends on your fitness, time of year and length you want to hike.
Let me know if you have any questions. If you’re looking to book a tour or else have somebody book your huts and transfer your gear I can recommmend a few companies that are great.

Thanks for the reply. Other than our backpacks I don’t imagine we’ll have any luggage that we need transported from hut to hut. We’re in decent shape (her better than me) and have done several day hikes in the past. The longest we’ve gone has been about 18km (Tour du Mont Albert in Quebec). Longest time was about 9 hrs (Gros Morne in Newfoundland including a stop for lunch at the top). The highest we’ve been has been approx. 6000ft (several peaks in the Yukon). So I think we’d be up for it, with planning of course.
At this point I’m going to start looking at different routes, hut options, prices, etc. I’ll also look at the trails you mentioned as well as France and Austria.
