Winkelalm
3.7About
Winkelalm sits at 1,193m in the Benediktbeuren Alps south of Bad Tölz. Reach it from the village of Benediktbeuren in 1.5 hours on a well-marked trail through mixed forest. The approach is straightforward and suitable for families or as a warm-up walk before longer mountain days. The hut lies on the popular route between Bad Tölz and the Benediktbeurer Kamm ridge.
The DAV Sektion München und Oberland operates this modest hut with 30 beds split between dorm rooms and a few private rooms. Meals focus on Bavarian standards—expect hearty schnitzel, Kaiserschmarrn, and fresh soups. The kitchen serves three meals daily, and you can buy basic supplies. Water comes from the adjacent spring. Facilities include a dining hall with wood stove and a small terrace. The hut opens year-round, though service is limited in winter months—check ahead for December and January.
Book directly with the hut by phone or email at least 2 weeks ahead for weekends and holidays. July and August are busiest; aim for 4 weeks' notice then. Weekday visits in May, June, September, and October rarely need advance booking. The hut lies on several day-walk circuits, so expect Saturday crowds from Munich day-trippers. Winter visits work best midweek when the hut can give you proper attention and meals aren't stretched thin.
