Day hike or overnight stay
Whether you stop at the hut during a day hike, climb Hocheck and Mittelspitze, or set out on the challenging Watzmann traverse, Watzmannhaus is the key base for your Watzmann adventure. You can hike up to Watzmannhaus from either the mountaineering village of Ramsau or Schönau a. Königssee. After spending the night at Watzmannhaus, you can climb to Hocheck at 2,651 meters, the first summit along the Watzmann ridge and the starting point of the legendary and highly challenging Watzmann traverse.
Be sure to reserve your overnight stay well in advance, especially if you’re traveling with a group.
