About
The Krinner-Kofler-Hütte sits at 1,407m in the Wetterstein range near Mittenwald, in the northern Bavarian Alps. Reach it on foot from Mittenwald village in about 1.5 hours via the Leutascher Geierbach valley. The hut serves as a base for day hikes to nearby peaks and as a waypoint on multi-day traverses through the Wetterstein massif. Winter access is sometimes restricted; check conditions before planning a cold-season visit.
The hut has 30 beds split across multiple rooms. The DAV Sektion Mittenwald operates it year-round (verify opening dates). Simple meals are available—expect traditional Bavarian fare and self-catering options. There are no showers or WiFi. Water comes from the mountain spring. The atmosphere is working hut, not resort: basic comfort, reliable facilities, good food.
Book directly with the DAV Sektion Mittenwald by email or phone. Summer weekends and July fill 4–6 weeks ahead. Outside peak season, you can usually book 2–3 weeks out. Arrive with enough daylight if hiking in; the final approach has no lighting. Pay in cash or by bank transfer—confirm payment methods when booking.
