Should I get an Alpine Club membership for the Tour of Monte Rosa?

The Tour of Monte Rosa travels through Switzerland and Italy.

If you are a member of one of the respective alpine clubs, you get discount on accommodation at their mountain huts. Unless you plan to stay exclusively in alpine club mountain huts, it is not usually worthwhile getting membership only for the hike. Here are the details on each alpine club membership:
