Buronhütte
4.9About
Buronhütte sits at 1,250m in the Allgäu Alps, deep in the pastoral farming landscape between Oberstdorf and Sonthofen. The hut is a 2.5-hour walk from Oberstdorf via the Walser Valley trail, or 2 hours from Follen. The approach is steady rather than steep, making it accessible for hikers with basic fitness. The surrounding terrain opens onto rolling meadows and mixed forest—classic Allgäu rather than high alpine drama.
The hut accommodates 12 people in private rooms, so you won't be in dormitory quarters. Meals focus on regional Bavarian cooking. The kitchen serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner; book your meal plan when you reserve your room. Full-service facilities include showers and a wood-fired heating system. The hut typically opens mid-May through October, though shoulder-season dates depend on snow melt and staffing. Confirm the exact opening date before planning an early-season visit.
Book directly by email or phone at least 3 weeks ahead, especially for weekends May through September. July and August fill quickly. The hut is popular with families and older hikers because the approach avoids serious elevation gain and the private rooms suit groups. Off-season (May, June, September, October) offers easier availability and quieter conditions.
