Reintalanger Hut, Mountain hut in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany
Reintalanger Hut is a mountain shelter at 1366 meters in the Wetterstein Mountains, located at the head of the Reintal valley. The building accommodates around 132 guests and is run by the German Alpine Club.
The hut was built in 1912 by the Munich section of the German Alpine Club. The surrounding pasture has been grazed since 1485, showing a longer history of human use at this elevation.
The hut maintains traditions of mountain hospitality while serving modern hikers and climbers passing through the valley. The space reflects how Alpine communities have long welcomed travelers seeking shelter and rest in the high country.
The hut can be reached from several directions, including trails from the Sonn Alpin cable car station, from Partenkirchen Ski Stadium via Partnach Gorge, and from Kreuzeckhaus. Sturdy hiking boots are recommended, as mountain weather changes quickly at this elevation.
Guests are awakened each morning with musical Alpine horn calls, a ritual that defines the mountain experience here. This morning tradition creates a distinctive start to every day at the shelter.
