The Vorderbrand alpine village is situated in a dream location. The six breathtaking alpine huts are located at approximately 1,078 meters above sea level in Schönau am Königssee. Not quite at the very top, but well above it. From every alpine hut, you have a wonderful view of the Berchtesgaden valley basin, framed by the mountain scenery. Just a few meters higher up, you can also see Lake Königssee. It’s a perfect starting point for many mountain and hiking tours. The Jennerbahn’s middle station is about a 1-kilometer walk away. The alpine village of Vorderbrand offers six lovingly and comfortably furnished alpine huts. Two of these are smaller huts with one bedroom, and four are larger huts with two bedrooms. The alpine huts were built on a slope, so they stand elevated and in a row, one after the other, higher up on the hillside. The path to the huts is heated in winter and illuminated at night. Each alpine hut has a spacious terrace equipped with a grill, various seating options, and a hot tub. In addition, each alpine hut includes a covered parking area and a mini-garage for bicycles, skis, sleds, and other gear. Outlets for e-bikes and charging stations for electric vehicles are also available. All huts have underfloor heating and a cozy gas fireplace. This is powered by a combined heat and power plant. The Vorderbrand Alpine Village is among the climate-friendly accommodations in the municipality of Schönau am Königssee.
