Alpe Wenger Egg

Alpe Wenger Egg sits at 1020m in the Allgäu Alps, a working dairy farm that welcomes hikers year-round. The hut lies in the Öhrental valley near Oberstdorf, accessible via a gentle 90-minute walk from the village of Follen or a 2-hour approach from Oberstdorf itself. The terrain is forgiving throughout, making this a reliable base for exploring the rolling pasture landscape between the Hochvogel and Biberkopf massifs.
The operation is farmhouse-based rather than a formal mountain hut. You'll find simple guest rooms (around 20 beds total) and hearty Allgäu cuisine emphasizing dairy products—expect fresh cheese, butter, and milk from the farm itself. The kitchen serves lunch and dinner daily. Facilities include basic shower access and toilets. This is active farming country, so expect the sounds and rhythms of agricultural life. Open year-round, though call ahead in winter as road access can be affected by snow.
Book directly with the farm; contact information is essential before arriving, particularly in peak summer months (July-August) when weekend capacity fills quickly. Day visits are welcome if you're hiking the valley. The hut suits families and hikers seeking a low-altitude rest day or a gentler introduction to Allgäu hiking rather than high-altitude mountaineering.
