Sinnlehen Alm
1.2
Chiemgau Alps, Germany
About
Sinnlehen Alm sits at 1,515m in the Chiemgau Alps, accessed from the village of Sachrang in the Chiemgau region. The hut lies on the popular hiking route between Sachrang and the Hochplötzl. From Sachrang, allow 2.5 to 3 hours to reach the alm on a well-marked trail that climbs steadily through mixed forest before opening to alpine meadow. The final approach crosses pastureland with views toward the Chiemgau ridge.
The alm is a working dairy farm and traditional mountain hut that operates year-round. It accommodates 30 to 40 guests in simple, shared rooms. Meals focus on Bavarian mountain fare—käsespätzle, schnitzel, and bread from the hut's own bakery. The kitchen supplies hearty portions suited to hikers. Facilities include a restaurant, dormitory beds, and basic washroom amenities. WiFi is not available. The hut maintains traditional alpine hut standards rather than hotel comforts.
Book directly by phone. The hut manages reservations on a first-come basis and fills quickly during July and August weekends. Call 4 to 6 weeks ahead for summer weekend stays. Weekday slots remain more available throughout the season. Winter visits require prior arrangement.
