Above Schapbachalm, Stubenalm lies on the slopes of Watzmann. You can reach the alpine pasture in about two hours by following the well-known trail to Watzmannhaus from either Wimbachbrücke in Ramsau, Germany's first Mountaineering Village, or the Hammerstiel hiking parking area in Schönau.

Alpine pasture below Watzmannhaus

Stubenalm is located below Watzmannhaus. On the standard trail to Watzmannhaus, you’ll pass right by the alpine pasture. It’s worth taking a break here: you’ll find a truly idyllic alpine setting and a magnificent view of Ramsau toward Reiter Alm and Hochschwarzeck.

The trail continues to Watzmannhaus, first passing the operating Mitterkaseralm and then the non-operating Falzalm. At Stubenalm, you’ll find two alpine pasture huts, known as Kaser, as well as a service hut.

 

Mountain biking to Stubenalm

The Stubenweg is open to cyclists from the Schapbach intersection to Stubenalm. Beyond Stubenalm, cycling toward Watzmannhaus is not permitted.

Please note: Violations of the cycling ban at Berchtesgaden National Park are generally punishable by a fine.

Alpine summer in Berchtesgaden

The tradition of alpine farming

The romantic image of life on an alpine pasture rarely reflects reality. Working on an alpine pasture is demanding, and the days are long.

  • Intangible Cultural Heritage

    Alpine farming plays an outstanding role in Berchtesgaden — economically, culturally, and in shaping the landscape. With its official inclusion in Bavaria’s register of Intangible Cultural Heritage, this unique form of land stewardship is now also recognized at the political level.
  • Cattle drive in Berchtesgaden

    During Almabtrieb in Berchtesgaden, decorated cattle return from the mountain pastures to the valley as villages celebrate Alpine customs and Bavarian heritage.
  • Der Schüsselkas reift in namensgebenden Schüsseln

    Schüsslkas
