About
Tegernseer Hütte sits at 1650m in the Mangfall Range east of Tegernsee village. The main approach climbs from Bad Tölz via Rotwand, taking 3.5 hours of steady ascent through mixed forest to reach the hut's location on the ridge. Alternatively, ascend from Tegernsee village in 2.5 hours via a more direct route that gains elevation quickly. Both paths offer solid mountain hiking without technical terrain. The hut serves as a base for ridge walks along the Mangfall chain and access to Rotwand (1884m), which dominates views from the hut.
Tegernseer Hütte operates year-round and sleeps around 60 guests in mixed dorms and smaller rooms. The kitchen serves hot meals at lunch and dinner, with evening menus posted daily. Winter months bring fewer visitors, making it easier to secure beds. The hut is unmanned in deepest winter but self-catering access is possible. Bathroom facilities are basic mountain standard. The location catches morning sun and offers open views across the Tegernsee valley to the north.
Book directly with the hut by phone or through the DAV (Deutscher Alpenverein) system. July and August fill weeks ahead, particularly weekends. June and September offer better availability with less crowding. Winter bookings are flexible. The hut charges standard DAV rates—members pay significantly less than non-members. Arrive by early afternoon to secure your spot at dinner service.
