The Reichenhaller Haus is located directly below the summit of the Hochstaufen mountain at approximately 1,750 meters and is a popular stop for hikers and via ferrata climbers. The Alpine Club hut offers a cozy atmosphere, simple overnight accommodations, and a wonderful sun terrace with impressive views over Bad Reichenhall, the Salzach Valley, and as far as Lake Chiemsee. Due to its exposed location, the Reichenhaller Haus is only accessible on foot—either via various mountain trails or the challenging Pidinger Klettersteig (via ferrata). It serves many mountaineers as a rest stop before the final ascent to the summit or as the destination of a scenic day tour.

There's hardly a more beautiful hut in this area than the Reichenhaller Haus. Despite the arduous climb and the deprivation of washing due to a lack of water, you'll be rewarded with one of the most beautiful views anywhere.

The small wooden hut belongs to the Zwieselalm and is two meters away... If there is no more space at the tables, you can retreat there
