AsitzBräu

AsitzBräu sits at 1755m on the Asitz in the Chiemgau Alps, a limestone massif that rises above the Inzell Basin. Reach the hut from Inzell village (about 700m) in 2.5 to 3 hours on foot via established hiking trails. The approach is steady rather than technical, making it accessible for fit hikers without scrambling experience. The hut also serves as a waypoint on longer ridge traverses across the Chiemgau.

AsitzBräu is a working dairy farm converted to a mountain inn, not a formal DAV hut. The building sleeps around 30 people in simple shared rooms and some private rooms. Meals focus on Bavarian cooking—expect hearty soups, roasts, and locally made cheese. The hut has flush toilets and basic washrooms but no WiFi or power sockets in bedrooms. It opens year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and you should call ahead. Phone ahead to book, especially Friday to Sunday and during Bavarian school holidays.

Book at least 2 weeks ahead for weekends; 4-6 weeks for July and August. Groups should reserve earlier. The hut's farm character means it fills with local hikers and families on sunny weekends. Call or email before you arrive if you need dinner—the kitchen doesn't always prepare meals for drop-in visitors. The Asitz is popular for afternoon hikes from nearby towns, so expect company on good-weather days rather than solitude.
