Priener Hut

The Priener Hütte sits at 1,410m in the Chiemgau Alps, on the eastern edge of the German Alpine region near the Prien valley. Reach it from Prien am Chiemsee village (30km southeast of Rosenheim) via the Priener Alm track—a 2.5-hour hike gaining 600m elevation. The trail is well-marked and popular with day-hikers as well as those doing multi-day traverses across the Chiemgau. The hut's position makes it a logical stop for routes linking the Chiemsee foothills to higher peaks like the Hochries (1,569m) or the Hochfelln (1,528m) range.
The DAV-managed hut offers 50 beds across dormitory and smaller rooms. Half-board (dinner, bed, breakfast) is standard. Meals use regional ingredients—Bavarian soups, schnitzel, local cheese. The hut has a kitchen for self-catering if you prefer. Water and power are reliable year-round. The hut opens mid-April through October, with winter closures common. The atmosphere is straightforward Alpine hut: simple, clean, no frills.
Book directly with Priener Hütte by phone or email. July and August require booking 6-8 weeks ahead, especially for weekends. May-June and September are less crowded. The hut has a small parking area at the trailhead; public transport from Prien train station (regional trains from Munich) is feasible for most seasons.
