Description

Mountain hut on the craggy Spitzstein peak
German Alpine Club, Bergfreunde München Division

Lush meadows, thick forests, hikes for all abilities: the Spitzsteinhaus in the Chiemgau Alps is an excellent base for exploring the surrounding region. This hut near the Bavarian border welcomes families and groups all year round – for walking and hiking in summer, and for ski touring and snowshoeing in winter. The area around the hut is generally safe from avalanches. The views are excellent and take in not only the town of Kufstein but also the Inn Valley and the Kaiser Mountains. The area around the Spitzstein mountain is also good for mountain biking. Food is served on the sunny terrace and produced using local ingredients. The hut, which sleeps up to 50 guests, has showers and mobile phone reception.
