Ravensburger Haus
4.3About
Ravensburger Haus sits at 950m in the Allgäu Alps, offering straightforward access for hikers exploring the region between Oberstaufen and the Hochgrat. The hut serves as a base for day walks through mixed forest and alpine meadows. Reach it via established hiking trails from Oberstaufen in roughly 2–3 hours, depending on your starting point. The gentle elevation gain makes this hut accessible for families and those new to Alpine hiking.
The DAV Sektion Ravensburg operates this modest hut with basic mountain hospitality. Expect a simple dormitory setup with around 30–40 beds, communal dining, and home-cooked evening meals. The kitchen prepares regional Swabian and Bavarian fare. A small shop stocks basic supplies and snacks. The hut opens year-round, though winter visits depend on snow conditions and mountain access. Hot showers and a drying room are available.
Book directly by phone with the DAV Sektion Ravensburg. Phone ahead, especially for weekends and school holidays when family groups fill the hut quickly. July and August are busiest; aim to call 2–3 weeks in advance for summer visits. Shoulder seasons (May–June, September–October) offer more flexibility. The hut accepts cash and card payments.
