On a sunny late afternoon in 2007, with a view of the wonderful alpenglow on the Kreuzkofel in South Tyrol, the idea was born to build an Alpine Bergehaus for friends, connoisseurs and lovers of the mountains of this world. The Alpine Bergehaus is located in one of the most beautiful parts of the German mountain landscape, in the Chiemgau, on the edge of the mountain village and climatic health resort of Reit im Winkl. Somewhat exposed on a hill in the adjacent forest, it can be reached via a stream with an unobstructed view of the Wilder Kaiser. Like the mountain huts - ital. Rifugio- are built on the high plateaus of the Dolomites, mostly from the sun-burnt wood and stones of the mountains, this is also how the Bergehaus in Chiemgau was designed.
