Our mountain hut in Pfronten is located at 1,180 meters on a picturesque plateau on the southern slope of the Edelsberg.
The Edelsberg Hut is located in the midst of unspoiled nature—surrounded by meadows, forests, and a magnificent mountain panorama, making it perfect for hikers and mountain vacationers seeking peace and quiet.
We accept reservations for our hut evenings on Fridays and Saturdays.
During the day, we only take table reservations for groups of 10 or more, on availability.
Feel free to call us at +49 8363 1777.
Please let us know in advance if you can’t make it or if you’ll be late. Kindly note that we may release your table after 20 minutes if you don’t arrive on time.
For our overnight guests in the chalets (15 people), we offer a shuttle service for arrival and departure at an additional cost. Alternatively, a luggage transfer service is also available. Unfortunately, we are not permitted to provide a shuttle service on other days during your stay.
For larger external groups and events, it is possible to transport older people who have difficulty walking (max. 7 people in summer, 4 people in winter). The shuttle service is subject to a fee. All other event guests must walk to the hut. Unfortunately, no exceptions can be made.
Arriving by private car is expressly prohibited.
Of course – you can hike up with a classic winter hike. For this, you’ll definitely need mountain boots with good tread.
In the winter months, crampons are highly recommended.
You can also visit us with snowshoes or touring skis.
Yes – we have three apartment chalets at our hut. These can be booked for a minimum of 2 nights.

There is a small outdoor playground for children with a slide and swing at the Edelsberghütte.
The former indoor playground is closed.
Arrival by Car
If you are arriving by car, we recommend the hiking parking lot in Pfronten-Röfleuten. You can purchase a multi-day ticket for €5/day (as of 08/2024).
Alternatively, you can use the hiking parking lot 'Vilstal P2' under the same conditions.
Direct access to our mountain hut by car is not allowed.
Luggage and guest transfer to the hut
On the day of arrival:
If desired (and discussed with us), we will pick up your stored luggage from our luggage box at the “Pfronten-Röfleuten” hiking car park at 4:30 p.m.
Guests who would like to ride along and have registered in advance should also wait for the hut transfer at the hiking car park at 4:30 p.m.
Exceptions are arrivals on Mondays and Tuesdays. Our inn is closed on these days and no transport can be offered (exceptions are public holidays and the Bavarian summer and Christmas holidays).
The hut can then only be reached by hiking, and you can check into your chalet apartment via “self-check-in.”
Departure
We will be happy to drive you back down to the valley at 10:30 a.m., except on Mondays and Tuesdays (exceptions are made on public holidays and during the Bavarian summer and Christmas holidays).
The chalet must be vacated by 10:00 a.m.
Winter season:
In winter, when the Sonnenlifte ski lifts are in operation, different conditions apply, which we will discuss with guests at short notice (whether the ski lifts are in operation depends heavily on the weather/snow conditions, which we can only predict at short notice).
Please note that when the ski lifts are in operation, the road is closed from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and you must travel to the valley before or after these times.
Overnight guests can use our sauna free of charge by arrangement.
Please note: For safety reasons, this is only possible when staff are on site.
All our chalets on the Edelsberg come with a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering. However, we also offer extensive catering options for added comfort:
The wellness area at Hotel Das Rübezahl in Schwangau is exclusively accessible to hotel guests. For chalet guests of the Edelsberghütte, we offer an exclusive day spa experience upon request and prior reservation.
The day spa costs €80.00 per person (12:00 PM to 6:00 PM) and includes a wellness bag with a bathrobe and slippers. Additional pampering treatments can be booked at our Beauty-Alm in Hotel Das Rübezahl. We kindly ask that these be booked in advance.
During the Edelsberghütte's vacations, you can use the chalet as a self-catering chalet. Arrival is possible Thursdays to Sundays. The stay is without breakfast, without restaurant service and without guest and luggage transfers. You use the self-check-in and will find everything you need already prepared in the chalet.
On request, we can fill your fridge with drinks before your arrival.
Birthday parties, corporate events, incentives, and weddings – everything is possible.
General Event Information:
Smaller events for up to 25 people can be arranged during regular hut operations. For special occasions, the mountain hut can be rented exclusively for up to 65 people starting from 6:00 PM. A minimum spend is required for exclusive reservations.
For exclusive bookings or if the event is to continue after 9:00 p.m., this is only possible if our three chalet apartments are booked at the same time. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee the well-deserved peace and quiet of our overnight guests.
Special location:
Please note that the hut is in a quiet location and we are surrounded by forest and animals. Especially during the rutting season, it is important to be considerate of the wildlife.
We therefore ask for your understanding that loud music – both outside and inside – is not permitted. Quiet background music is of course possible. We are happy to recommend regional musicians. However, parties with DJs or similar volume levels are not permitted.
Arrival:
The road to the hut is a private forest road and private cars are not permitted.
We can organize a shuttle service (up to 15 people) for our overnight guests on request. In addition, there is currently only a small shuttle (for 7 people in summer, 4 people in winter) available for external guests who are unable to walk up. The shuttle is subject to a fee.
All other guests must walk up to the hut. We are happy to provide torches for the walk down.
