Bodenschneid

Bodenschneid is a mountain peak in the Bavarian Prealps that rises between three lakes: Tegernsee, Schliersee, and Spitzingsee. The summit stands at around 1,668 meters and offers views across this distinctive alpine region.

The mountain gained importance when the German Alpine Club built the Bodenschneidhaus refuge 300 meters below the summit as a shelter for climbers. This hut became a key base for mountaineering activities in the area.

The summit draws local mountaineers and hikers who navigate marked pathways connecting nearby villages across alpine meadows and forested slopes. These routes reflect how people in the region use the mountain as a natural link between settlements.

Most hikers use chairlifts from Sutten and Spitzing starting at Stümpfling, then follow the southern ridge to the summit, taking about one hour on foot. Sturdy boots and wind-resistant clothing are essential because the ridge is exposed to the elements.

During winter months the summit becomes a destination for ski touring, with climbers ascending through snow-covered slopes to reach the exposed peak. The route offers a different experience when the landscape is snow-covered compared to warmer seasons.
