Chiemgau Alps, Germany
About
Brunntalhütte sits at 710m in the Brunntal valley, deep in the Chiemgau Alps near the Bavarian-Tyrolean border. The hut is a 90-minute walk from Schleching, reachable by regional train from Rosenheim or Traunstein. From the village, follow the marked trail up the Brunntal—the path is steady but never steep. This is a solid base for day hikes into the surrounding limestone peaks and for access to higher ridge routes heading toward the Hochplatte or Hochstaufen massif.
Brunntalhütte is a self-catering refuge (Selbstversorgerhütte) with 12 beds across multiple rooms. You bring and cook your own food. The hut has a basic kitchen, heating, and drinking water. There are no meals or beer service—this is genuine mountain shelter, not a social hub. The season runs from late spring through autumn, though weather closures are possible in winter. Check opening dates directly with DAV.
Book through DAV München und Oberland. Contact them at least 4 weeks before your trip, especially for weekends in July and August. The hut fills quickly because capacity is small and prices are low. A key is issued on arrival; you'll need to leave a deposit. Bring a sleeping bag and towel. Winter access is weather-dependent—confirm availability before planning a cold-season visit.
