Tegelberghaus
4.3About
Tegelberghaus sits at 1,707m on the Tegelberg massif in the Ammergau Alps, an hour northeast of Füssen. Most people reach it via the Tegelberg cable car from Schwangau (20 minutes up), then a 1-hour walk along marked trails to the hut. If you prefer to walk from Schwangau village, allow 2.5 to 3 hours. The hut overlooks the Pöllat Gorge and commands views across the Ammergau range toward the Säuling.
The DAV-managed hut runs 60 beds across mixed dorms and a few doubles. Meals are substantial: the kitchen serves a four-course dinner and a proper breakfast. Half-board or bed-only rates are available. Showers and a drying room help after wet weather. The hut stays open mid-May through mid-October, closing in winter. Staff cook with local Bavarian ingredients and cater to dietary requests with advance notice.
Book direct by phone 8 weeks ahead for July and August; weekdays fill more slowly. May, June, and September offer better availability. The hut sits on the main approach to Säuling (2,047m), so Thursday and Friday nights are busier than Mondays. Phone ahead to check water supply during dry spells—the hut depends on seasonal springs.
