If you want to climb the Hocheck from the Watzmann, or just hike to the Watzmannhaus, you will inevitably pass the Stubenalm on the Watzmann. A small alpine hut with a magnificent view over the surrounding countryside around Ramsau and the Berchtesgarden National Park. The economy invites with its coziness to a small snack or a cold drink to refresh. The menu is kept simple and clear. The prices of the snacks or drinks like coffee, tea or lemonade are reasonable. Compared to the Mitterkaseralm, which follows later, the prices here are somewhat cheaper. You can find my article about the Mitterkaseralm here.

Where is the Stubenalm at Watzmann?
The Stubenalm is located at an altitude of about 1145 meters on the hiking trail up to the Watzmann. From the Hammerstiel hiking parking lot, in 83471 Schönau am Königssee, it is about 2 hours on the well-known Alpine Club Trail 444 up to the alpine hut. From the parking lot at the Wimbachbrücke, in 83486 Ramsau, the walk via trail 441 is also about 2 hours. The Stubenalm on the Watzmann is the first of the inns on the way to the Watzmannhaus and on to the summit of the Watzmann Mountains. These so-called Kaser huts invite you to have a snack or a refreshing drink.
The second alpine hut on the Watzmann trail, the Mitterkaser Alm, is about a 2.5 hour hike from the Wimbachbrücke parking lot. From the Hammerstiel hiking parking lot via the Schapachalm, it is about a 3-hour walk.
When does the Stubenalm open?
The Stubenalm is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10.00 am, in the summer months. On Mondays, the alpine hut has a day of rest and is therefore closed for a stop and a rest. So if you plan to climb the Watzmann on Mondays, you will have to continue to the Watzmannhaus. The Mitterkaseralm on the Watzmann, about an hour away, is also closed on Mondays.
The menu of the Stubenalm at Watzmann
From the well-known Bavarian Brotzeit to wheat beer, wine or schnapps, the Stubenalm at the Watzmann offers a small but fine range of popular classics of the Alm cuisine. Bacon and brawn come from the regional butcher. The bread is baked in a nearby bakery. The cheese, also called Kas, and the butter come from our own raw milk production.
