Berggasthof Seealpe in Oberstdorf

Super delicious food and a fantastic location, but what makes the Seealpe unique is the super-friendly hostess and her daughter. They both do a fantastic job. Best wishes and see you next year!

A truly wonderful inn. Excellent service with witty remarks. Delicious food and drinks.

We were looking forward to a soup and a drink. After asking for a free table and being assigned one, we left the Seealpe after well over 20 minutes. Our attempts to make contact were ignored. A brief "I'll be with you in a minute" would have been enough for us for now. Unfortunately, only those guests who had already received their food and drinks were served. Another couple also seemed to be waiting in vain for payment and had to seek service elsewhere. A reasonable wait is generally acceptable, but in my opinion, without communication and stoic ignorance, it's not hospitable.

Everything just works here. Super friendly service, very fast food, fantastic space (both inside and outside). For us, this is the best Kaiserschmarrn we've had in a long time.

Super friendly staff. Excellent vegetarian food. Excellent sweet white wine spritzer. Clean restrooms. Reachable on foot or by Nebelhornbahn cable car.

I keep reading reviews about where the best Kaiserschmarrn is served. But where is it sprinkled with almonds and caramelized? We've never had it like that before. Usually, they just sprinkle it with powdered sugar. At the next table, only the children and their parents had tasted it at first. The fact that they immediately ordered it for themselves as dessert says it all. Unfortunately, the schnitzel was just average, which is why I had to deduct one star.

Beautifully situated mountain inn at the Seealpe station of the Nebelhornbahn cable car. Inviting terraces on three sides. Typical Allgäu dishes and snacks, as you would expect. Friendly staff.

Here's a delicious goulash soup. Very friendly staff!

Kaiserschmarrn ... the best I've ever eaten 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Nice, but nothing special. Way too expensive. And no ATM in 2025? Come on, don't be so difficult. Yes, you're in the Alps, but there are staff cars parked there. It's not like they have to lug everything up on a donkey. There's also a perfectly good network/4G. And the staff refuses to speak English because "they can't," so they just stubbornly speak German. The locals look at you like you have a horse's head. It's like France.

After a long hike via Reichenbach and Nebelhorn, we descended via Seealpe. The alpine pasture invites you to stop for a bite to eat; we had the very best apricot cake, freshly picked from the garden, with crispy crumble. We were served very rudely, with pleasant musical entertainment on the squeezebox and glorious weather. Thank you so much, we'd love to come back!!! 🤩 Marion and Uta👋

The Kaiserschmarren was the best I've ever eaten, and I've tried many. The service was very friendly and welcoming.

No card payments in 2025 - any questions?

Yes, great food and beautiful view

We opted for the creamed schnitzel with spaetzle. The waitress told us that today they only had schnitzel with pepper cream as an alternative. We received the bill and learned that this dish would cost €7 more. Unfortunately, they failed to inform us of this in advance. We are very disappointed with the advice, as otherwise we would certainly have chosen a different dish.

Expensive and poorly prepared food.

After our hike, we stopped at the mountain inn. It was a very sunny day. We had a lovely shady spot. Our Kaiserschmarrn and our Radler were delicious. We'd happily return.

The food was disappointingly bad. Pasta was overcooked and served with a sour, watery "cheese sauce." Even worse was the staff's rude attitude toward my complaint. Never again...

Top 👍 The Kinky Dumplings were a real treat. Highly recommended – you can't complain about the value for money. Very friendly and prompt service, and everything else was perfect. Leeven Jroos and Sunnesching ✌️

After a short break from hiking, we stopped at the Berggasthof Seealpe mountain inn at the Nebelhorn mid-station – and it was a thoroughly enjoyable visit. The restaurant has a wonderfully rustic atmosphere with a well-kept, very cozy beer garden. I particularly liked the fact that – unlike many other mountain restaurants – it's not a self-service restaurant, but we were served at our table. A real plus in such a location! The waitress was solely responsible for the large and busy outdoor area – and yet was always friendly, attentive, and professional. That deserves great respect, because despite the busy crowds, we were never forgotten and always served with a smile. We only had drinks and a small selection of food – all absolutely fairly priced, especially considering that you're in the middle of the alpine terrain. My sausage salad was excellent – ​​fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. The espresso, beer, and cheesecake were also absolutely impressive (and delicious!). Conclusion: If you're looking for a genuine, down-to-earth, and welcoming place to stop off at the Nebelhorn, the Berggasthof Seealpe is the perfect place. Great location, good food, honest service—I'd love to come back!

We just stopped in for a couple beers on our hike. Service great and waitress was friendly. Great views.

Great service, very fast and friendly. We had cheesecake, which was good.

Holy cow, I've rarely eaten so badly for so much money. The crowning glory are the careless Reibedatschi (potato pancakes). Three small pieces of frozen potato pancakes from the deep fryer, without any decoration, for €11. What's this crap? At least mention that they're lousy frozen potato pancakes. Nobody wants them. I feel like I've been ripped off.

A very rustic mountain inn, the service was prompt, and the prices were reasonable! The view is breathtaking.

The best cheesecake/sour cream cake "ever" 😁😁

We had a delicious meal there after a hike. The prices were still reasonable. The service was friendly. We'd be happy to come back.

We really liked it, we were served quickly, the service was very comfortable and considering the location the prices are completely okay

It's always nice to come back here. The service is nice, it's a friendly atmosphere. The panorama is breathtaking.

No card payment, very expensive and unfriendly staff.

It's very bad, the food tastes awful, they mix up the dishes and only change them for a fee, the staff is very unfriendly and you can't pay by card

Friendly service, good beer. We had to wait a bit but the hut was busy due to the weather.

Delicious coffee with apple strudel. Very friendly service

We just had a drink. There are no zero alternatives for diabetics or people who watch their sugar consumption. Female service brisk and unfriendly.

Whenever we are in Oberstdorf, a visit to the Seealpe is a MUST!! The food was super delicious, no matter what. The prices are totally ok, the staff is always in a good mood, even when it's packed. The atmosphere is cozy. Highly recommended !!

The waitress was busy with her own cell phone most of the time. Unfortunately, “Alpine pizza” is just 2 slices of bread with a little cheese gratinated. For the price (10 euros) I would have expected more. Spaghetti is ok. Drinks well filled.

Super nice and cozy. Cozy and rustic. Fast, great service and very, very tasty.

Very tasty food, goulash highly recommended Service is top, price and quality are right, clocky hut but also very modern Better to eat here than next door

Ski lodge with no notable extras. Friendly and quick service good food and good coffee. Unfortunately only cash payment possible.

Highly recommended! The Seealpe restaurant in Oberstdorf is convincing across the board. The location is fantastic, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, which alone is worth the visit. The food is excellent – ​​regional, fresh and prepared with a lot of love. The hearty dishes from the Alpine cuisine are particularly enjoyable. The service was friendly and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere perfectly rounded off the stay. If you are in Oberstdorf, you should not miss a visit here. We'll definitely be back!

Cozy mountain inn with delicious dishes

Tolle Lage mit genialer Aussicht auf die Oberstdorfer Bergwelt! Preis- Leistungsverhältnis ist sehr fair. Das Essen ist größtenteils hausgemacht und die Qualität schmeckt man auch auf dem Teller!

We stopped here after a lovely hike and fortified ourselves with drinks and food. Good service, quick service, clean toilets.

When the weather was bad, we sat inside and shared Kaiserschmarrn for our second breakfast. Large portion, enough for 2 and was super tasty. Service super friendly!

Food was good but it was sometimes better

Actually a very nice Alpe, it's just a shame that you can't place an order after asking three times.

Glasses not full given. After being pointed out, cheeky comment. Unfriendly, overwhelmed service. Once and never again. I don't have to do that to myself.

Top service👍 Top beer🍻🍻🍻 Mega view😊😊😊

Nice, quick service. Food (Kaiserschmarrn) was great

We were there today and ordered the lentil soup twice. I also pointed to the card with the “vegan” category. We were brought two soups with sausages. When we said that we didn't order with sausages, the waiter said that there were two "variants" and the "normal" variant was the one with sausages. If I order a "lentil soup" I assume that it will be without sausages, otherwise I would have ordered a "lentil soup with sausages" as it says on the menu. The waiter then didn't want to bring us a new one without sausages, or we would have had to pay twice. My point is not that there was a misunderstanding, but that the waiters unfortunately reacted very uncomprehendingly and rudely.

Great view. But the price-performance ratio just doesn't fit.

After the hike from Prinz Luitpoldhaus to Nebelhorn, we unfortunately missed the last descent to Oberstdorf :-(( and then had to walk to Seealpe. From there a taxi was able to pick us up to Oberstdorf. Even though the Seealpe was officially closed, they were super nice and ordered the taxi for us and served us cold drinks that revived our spirits. A really great beer garden with a beautiful view. I will definitely come back. Thanks again to you.

Despite full tables, fast service, delicious homemade plum cake and mountaineering pizza 😋. Clear recommendation!

It tasted very good, the service was super friendly. I can only recommend the three dumplings “the shepherd’s meal”. Greetings to the team

Since I already visited the Seealpe in 2020 on a hike around the Faltbach Tobel, it was now on the program again. On the way to Nebelhorn we made a quick stop for a drink. It was good as usual, attentive and friendly staff, good seating. We didn't eat anything this time, so no review. All in all, a pleasant and recommended stop

Super tasty. The food was very good value for money and was served within 12 minutes despite the packed beer garden.

Beautiful view, very friendly and quick service and the sausage salad was really great. The prices for this location are not overpriced

Due to poor network connection only cash payment possible...no, that's clear! Not having zero drinks rounds off the “80s stop here nothing will change” charm... go one floor down to the village, the Kaiserschmarn costs half as much and the network seems to be more stable!

Very nice inn. Nice staff and good food. Good value for money

I think it's stupid that you don't get hot food after 3 p.m., I saw that others got hot food after 3 p.m. I was told there was nothing left

We stopped at Seealpe. Very friendly service. The view is magnificent. We were able to share a dish. No extra charge. We would have liked to have stayed longer. Unfortunately the weather turned bad and we had to start the descent earlier.

It was a great experience! Resting after a strenuous hike, eating well and playing with the children felt really good. Friendly staff, beautiful surroundings and a wonderful view... Need more?

What can I say? Great, just great👌 The service is super friendly, attentive and well informed. The food was very good and the drinks were great. Thank you for the lovely stay

A very nice inn, with nice and attentive staff, a great view and very tasty food. The Kaiserschmarrn with caramelized almonds and plum roaster was great!👍

The mountain inn is right next to the first cable car station. This is surrounded by a wonderful alpine landscape. There are goats, rabbits and donkeys to pet. There is also a small artificial mountain lake there. We had Kaiserschmarn there and it was delicious.

Great location with delicious homemade food. Staff very friendly. This is a great place to spend some time when the weather is nice.

A beautifully located mountain inn with very friendly and attentive service. Everything was as it should be. We'd love to come back.

Get off at the Nebelhorn middle station. A nice walk around the lake. Enjoyed the weather. Afterwards you can dine on the sun terrace of the mountain inn. Delicious Kaiserschmarrn with almonds. Iced coffee and cake. It was delicious. Very pleasant.

Beautiful restaurant, super nice, fast service, food very good, venison goulash with homemade spaetzle highly recommended!!!

You are very welcome here. The staff are very warm, friendly and attentive. The food is super delicious. If you don't necessarily want to invest your money in the system restaurant on the mountain, you should stop here on the way down to the valley. Attention: Only cash payment possible.

Terrace located at the foot of the first section of the cable car that goes up to Nebelhorn. Traditional food. The small beer is a 1/2 liter jug. Correct service. You can only pay in cash.

Excellent place to stop for refreshments at the foot of the Nebelhorn at the lower station of the cable car. The lake also has its charm

Were there on Wednesday. First we walked the Uff d'r Alp circular hike and then stopped for a stop. My husband had the Bergsteiger soup and I had the Bergler pizza. It was really great. The wood-fired bread was well topped with Bergkaes. One piece with chives on it, on the other fried onions and salad garnish. We were thrilled. Plus a nice, cool wheat from an Allgäu brewery. More is not possible

Be sure to make a stopover on the way back from Nebelhorn, walk around the lake, see the free-roaming cows, and enjoy the wonderful view of the Allgäu. Inn outdoor area, great cool drinks, mountaineering soup, excellent, top service

Always happy to go there. Very good service, very good cuisine, beautiful surroundings. Our favorite restaurant near Oberstdorf.

We can really recommend stopping here

Very nice hostess, it was actually already closed, but we still got drinks and could still use the toilets! Thank you

A lovely place to linger, enjoy the view and unwind. The sweet gentian spritzer (contains alcohol) is also very tasty. Although it didn't look spectacular, it tasted even better.

We stopped there on the way to the Nebelhorn. Great alp with a great panorama. The snack was the best I've ever had. More than enough and directed with love (cucumber=heart, a cheese cow). Prices more than fair. The staff very friendly. We will be back ;)

There is only one star because of the cheesecake, otherwise the employees were very dismissive and just wanted to get off work early and you were no longer allowed to go to the toilet, even though the opening time is until 5 p.m. We arrived at 4:15 p.m. only for the staff to leave us sitting alone outside the inn 10 minutes later, even though there were other guests there too. Absolutely not recommended.

Good hut with decent food friendly service. Particularly recommended after the climb through the Faltenbachtobel.

Ambiance would have earned 6 stars. Most beautiful stopover on the way to the summit. Tobogganing for the kids in winter and starting point for further hikes in summer.

Good for family. Great loungers.

Tolle Location, traumhafte Landschaft, Natur pur. Gutes Essen und Trinken. Und die netten Tiere waren inklusive. Alles perfekt.

Sehr lustloses und völlig überfordertes Personal . Speisen waren jetzt auch kein Highlight . Alles sehr lieblos und runter gekommen auf der Terrasse.

Unfortunately I didn't have any cash with me. Super simple solution found via the Nebelhorntal station. Very trustworthy from the owner. Top !

I have never eaten a worse goulash soup. Very little meat and the rest was just mush.

The Kaiserschmarrn is one of the best in Germany. Nice and fluffy, crispy with plum roast and almond crust that tastes like freshly roasted almonds. The shepherd's meal (3 dumplings) and the cheese sparrows also taste great. The view is the reward after a climb from Oberstdorf.

Hausgemachter Kaiserschmarrn zum Niederknien. Wäre nur noch mit einem hausgemachten Zwetschgenröster zu verbessern. Sehr freundliches Personal. Saubere Waschräume. Wir waren mehrfach hier zu Gaststube kehren immer wieder gern hier ein.

Highly priced but in a great location

The service was still friendly even on the last day before the company holidays. The cheesecake was delicious, but unfortunately the coffee didn't deserve the name. That was really a shame.

Stopped there on the way back from Nebelhorn and just had a drink. A nice inn in a fantastic location. You can stop here with a clear conscience.

Wir waren heute zu fünft im Berggasthof seealpe da uns die oberen zwei Gaststätten nicht gefallen haben, zu Kälte Atmosphäre. Wir waren so begeistert, Hütte, Gast Räume Personal und das Essen einfach super. Wir hatten Suppen und Kaiserschmarren und der Enkel Kinderschnitzel mit Pommes, Super lecker sogar mit Möhrchen in Herzchenform und Gurke garniert, alles hausgemacht und mit viel LIEBE. Wer zum Nebelhorn r auffährt sollte dort auf jeden Fall Pause machen, bieten sehr viel an und es ist urgemütlich. Lieben Dank an das Personal für die tolle Erfahrung, hat uns den regnerischen und nebligen Tag versüsst. Besser geht es nicht 😊☺

Great location by the lake. Currywurst is ok

Rustic Alps (mountain restaurant) with good regional cuisine

Schöne Terrasse mit tollem Blick und auch nette Bedienung. Allerdings der angeblich hausgemachte Apfelstrudel mit der wässrigen Vanillesoße ohne Geschmack schmeckt nach TK-Ware und ist sein Geld definitiv nicht wert. Schade, dass können andere in Oberstdorf besser.

Alles beste an dass Team, super lecker, super schnell ohne Wartezeit, Regionale Gerichte, die Frau Kellnerin war sehr nett und schnell + E-Bike Ladestation für Bosch Akkus 👍 (Gen2-4)

Die Lage und die Aussicht sind wirklich sehr gut. Der Service ist ziemlich schnell allerdings etwas verpeilt. Mein Getränk wurde vergessen und kam erst auf Nachfrage. Leider kann ich zu dem Kaiserschmarrn nicht ganz soviel gutes berichten. Er war relativ hart und leider nicht fluffig. Schade, vielleicht hab ich auch einfach nur das Falsche bestellt.

Wahnsinn Lage, lecker essen, nette Bedienung

Um der Hitze in Oberstdorf zu entfliehen, sind wir mit der Nebelhornbahn zur Station Seealpe gefahren. Dort haben wir draußen an einem wunderbaren Plätzchen gesessen, etwas erhöht, konnten die Schafe und Lämmchen beobachten und haben sehr gut gegessen. Wir hatten einen Seealpefladen (Flammkuchen, mit Speck und Schmand und Bergkäse), und einen Leberkäse mit Spiegelei und Kartoffelsalat. Beides hat super geschmeckt! Hier waren wir nicht das letzte Mal! Besonders zu erwähnen ist die flotte und sehr freundliche Bedienung. Auch das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist absolut in Ordnung.

Kurz vor Schließung noch Getränke erhalten und sogar eingeschränkt Speisen angeboten bekommen.
