Höllentalangerhütte
5.0About
The Höllentalangerhütte sits at 1,387m in the Ammergau Alps near Oberammergau. Reach it via the Höllentalklamm gorge trail, which starts from the village and takes 2–2.5 hours of steady climbing through the canyon. The hut lies on the standard route between Oberammergau and the ridges above, making it a natural overnight stop for traverses or loop hikes in the region.
The DAV-managed hut has 80 beds across multiple rooms. It serves hearty Bavarian food and hot drinks. Showers are available—a rare luxury at this altitude. The hut operates year-round, though it closes Mondays and Tuesdays outside summer months. Half-board is standard; book meals when you book the bed.
Reserve well ahead for July and August. Contact the hut directly by phone before planning your trip—availability fills quickly on weekends. The DAV Sektion München manages it, so members get priority booking slots. For shoulder seasons (May–June, September–October), book at least 2–3 weeks ahead. Winter access depends on snow conditions; call ahead if traveling November through March.
