About
Bayerische Wildalm sits at 1450m in the Bavarian Alps, accessible via multiple routes from the Benediktbeuern valley. The most direct approach takes 2.5 hours from Benediktbeuren village, following well-marked forest and alpine paths. Mountain bikers can reach the hut in summer, cutting access time significantly. The location makes it a natural base for day trips into the surrounding peaks and ridges of the Benedikt range.
The hut has capacity for around 80 guests across dormitory and private rooms. The DAV-managed facility serves full meals including regional Bavarian fare, packed lunches for onward hiking, and drinks. Basic facilities include heated rooms, shower access, and a communal dining area. Opening runs year-round though staffing can be limited in winter—contact ahead if planning November to March trips. The hut accepts both walk-ins and reservations, with preference given to DAV members on busy weekends.
Book direct with the hut for July and August weekends, as capacity fills quickly. Phone ahead for winter visits to confirm staffing. DAV members enjoy discounted bed rates. Non-members pay a small supplement per night. The hut sits on an excellent network of marked trails, making it suitable for families and serious mountain walkers alike.
