Aueralm

Aueralm sits at 1,269m in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps, serving as a base for hiking in the Mangfall Valley and surrounding ridges. The hut is accessible via marked trails from the valley communities in the Mangfallgebirge region. Most hikers reach it in 2–3 hours from the nearest road access. The location puts you on established DAV networks that connect to higher peaks and longer ridge traverses across the northern limestone Alps.
The hut operates as a simple alpine hut with basic sleeping quarters, a small dining area, and kitchen facilities for cooking if you bring supplies. It typically serves warm meals and drinks, though availability depends on staffing. Capacity is modest—expect 20–40 beds depending on room configuration. The hut opens seasonally, usually from late spring through early autumn. Conditions can close it in winter or after heavy snow. Check current opening dates before planning your visit.
Book directly by email or phone, especially for weekends and July–August when mountain huts fill quickly. Reserve at least 6–8 weeks ahead for peak summer dates. The hut sits on quieter valley trails rather than popular summit routes, so midweek visits or shoulder season (June, September) offer easier booking than high summer. Confirm meal availability when you reserve, as the kitchen may be unstaffed on some weekdays.
