SonnenAlm in Aschau i.Chiemgau

Unfortunately not, too expensive, after 15 minutes still no service, what a pity

Our concern: Planning and booking our wedding reception. We were absolutely thrilled with the SonnenAlm. After hiking there, we've been there several times. The view is stunning and the location is super modern. We used the online configurator to plan our wedding. It worked perfectly. Our budget was about the price of a small car. The problems began immediately with communication: After entering all the information in the configurator, I didn't receive any automatic or personal confirmation. After a few days of waiting, I finally followed up by email. They offered me a date, and I asked if we could have it in two weeks, as I was on vacation in the area at the time anyway. This was confirmed. We arrived on time for the agreed date and invested just under €62 in cable car tickets for me and my family. Once we got there, we learned that the manager was running late because she had to take her daughter to the Tiersee Triathlon. For a binding business appointment, for which customers travel specifically and pay an entrance fee, this is absolutely unacceptable and disrespectful. On a positive note, the very competent and friendly team leader who represented them deserves special mention. She showed us everything and painstakingly handwritten all the data I had already entered into the configurator weeks before. When the manager finally arrived, the first thing she told me was that our desired date had been booked in the meantime. The disappointment was indescribable. Despite this outrageous treatment, I agreed to postpone the appointment by a week and request a quote. This quote corresponded to our discussion. However, I was missing the house rules and general terms and conditions to make a final decision. When I specifically asked, I received the unbelievable answer that there were no written house rules and that the general terms and conditions would have to be "searched for first." This statement was the final proof of the lack of professionalism. A look at the existing reviews confirmed my suspicions: There was a clear pattern of unreliability and poor organization. We immediately looked for a new location. Conclusion: Pretty from the outside, a chaotic operation from the inside. Initial communication falls flat, agreed appointments are not taken seriously, and essential contractual terms are not available in any tangible form. Unfortunately, the friendly team leader cannot disguise the failure of management. For such an important and costly event as a wedding, this is the worst possible basis. We found our dream location elsewhere and advise everyone to do the same.

There were 6 waiters on site, but the service was lacking. We had to wait 15 minutes until a member of staff was available, who told us we had to speak to the staff member in charge of our table. Another 10 minutes later, someone finally arrived in our area and took our order. The ice cream we ordered was the first to arrive after a few minutes, another 5 minutes later the drinks arrived (a water, a coffee, and an iced tea, unfortunately the wrong one and the only one in stock that day), and the cake we ordered never arrived at all. We noticed in passing that many orders were incorrect because they were sent back to the kitchen. If the Alm had been overcrowded, we would have understood, but it was only maybe half full. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment for us, and we won't be going there again.

After our hike, we wanted to eat Kaiserschmarrn. The price of around €20 was quite high, but we were willing to pay. We sat down at a table, and after 20 minutes, no one had come to take our order, so we left without ordering.

Nice location, beautiful interior design, and a great view. However, the prices are, in my opinion, disproportionate (€19.50 for a dry Kaiserschmarren from the tray or €5.40 for a cappuccino from the machine).

Great place with a magnificent view of Chiemsee

Nicely decorated. Unfortunately, the staff was very unfriendly, the menu was limited (but pricey), and unfortunately, no Kaiserschmarren (even though it's on the menu).

We only came here for dinner. It was OK, but nothing more. Prices were quite high. Service was friendly and attentive. The view is, of course, beautiful.

We had breakfast here, but didn't stay overnight, so no review for the rooms. Breakfast and everything else was delicious, but quite expensive. The bread, rolls, and pretzels were dry. Reheated? Hence one star deduction. Very friendly service. Tables lovingly set. The view is unbeatable!!!

The location and the view are truly fantastic, and the same goes for the decor. The restroom capacity doesn't quite match the restaurant's capacity (too little). This is especially true on a day when a mountain brunch is taking place. The quality of the food doesn't match the price. The quality and taste of the food are reminiscent of a large cafeteria or hospital. However, the prices are on par with an upscale restaurant. Even considering the location and logistics, the prices aren't justified in terms of quality. The service lacks structure. For example, we had to reorder an order four times before the order finally arrived after 45 minutes, and that was for drinks.

The cappuccino was terrible, but the cake was okay.

Beautiful alpine pasture, friendly service and the Kaiserschmarn is amazing

We went to the Sonnenalm for brunch last Sunday. The food was okay, but not a real culinary explosion. The price is reasonable because the train ticket is included. The service leaves something to be desired; our water order only arrived after asking four times. The reception was also slow and inconvenient. We probably won't be back again.

Beautiful surrounding and spectacular views. Unfortunately ridiculous price/value. 260€ for a double room with minimal space. Ceiling is 1.9m at the entrance for 20cm and then slopes down. Shared bathrooms only. AND NO DRINKING WATER! Be prepared to pay 7€ for a Liter of drinking water. Dinner and breakfast are included. Both were OK but very simple. A few veggies with rice and the soup from the starter poured over it for vegetarian option. And only bread roles cheese and ham and boiled eggs for breakfast. No cereals, fruit or anything else. Every cheap mountain hut serves better food. Nothing to justify the price.

There were far too few staff members, and the employees couldn't keep up. We simply weren't served for an hour, even though we asked twice at the counter. Then we left without ordering anything.

Extremely overpriced restaurant/hotel, that makes you feel like you‘re paying off their debt for fancy furniture and terrace, that they should have invested in their actual services. We paid €260 for a double room, including dinner and breakfast. Our bedroom was clean, but very small, with a very low ceiling (husband could not stand up straight) and poorly aired. The showers and toilets were shared. Dinner was ok, but vegetarian option was a sad afterthought, half a courgette in tomato „sauce“ (really the soup we just had as a starter) and bland boiled bulgur that we were told was rice. Breakfast was ok, but options were limited. Only white bread rolls and no cereals. The worst thing was that the water from the taps is not drinkeable and that they shamelessly charge you €7 for a liter of water. Not only is this a disgrace for a place that claims to be catering to hikers, but it is against EU regulations too. If you‘re too cheap to install a filter, at least serve drinking water for free or at a service fee. All in all, we will never go again. Views are fantastic, but can also be admired standing next to the terrace. Don’t spend your money here, but learn from our mistake and book your accomodation in this area in advance so you can avoid this place that looks fancy but fails to deliver in every relevant aspect.

We took the little cable car up since it was already mid-afternoon. When we arrived, the crowds were manageable. After our tour, we felt like having a coffee, but we couldn't get one. After sitting and waiting for 30 minutes to be served, and being assured that someone would come, we left. The place was moderately busy, the waitresses were hopelessly overwhelmed, and drinks and food were constantly being returned. We decided to leave, which was a shame. We didn't have a room! On the other hand, the gondola staff were very friendly and accommodating, with a smile on their faces.

Unfortunately, I don't recommend it. We were booked for lunch with a group of about 50 people. The food arrived 45 minutes late. The portions were rather small, average in taste, and expensive. The service staff were clearly overwhelmed. A meeting was planned afterward, but the room wasn't really prepared because the previous guest's dishes were still lying around. Due to the delay in the meal, we couldn't use it to its full potential as planned. My objective feedback was met with a disappointing response in which the responsibility for the problems was shifted entirely onto our group. There was no concession, such as a waiver of the room rental fee. Very disappointing, and in our opinion, not a professional way of dealing with guests.

Service was poor. No communication about restricted areas. Extremely long wait times. Staff seemed completely overwhelmed.

Delicious food with a beautiful view and a cozy indoor and outdoor area. Even though the orders weren't served in quite the right order, I wouldn't underestimate the very friendly service. My absolute favorite dessert is especially recommended: the Kaiserschmarrn – simply heavenly.

Price-performance ratio isn't right. I've never paid so much for a Bretteljausen and gotten so little for it. Think carefully about what you order here, or whether it might be better to go to a different hut. The wait was also very long, by the way. Drinks came with the meal.

Stay away from the mushrooms. We were there at the beginning of August. For dinner, we had the delicious Kaiserschmarren (smothered pancakes) and dumplings with mushroom sauce. The staff was also very friendly. Unfortunately, the mushrooms caused all the symptoms of food poisoning. Too bad, otherwise a great restaurant.

The "Alm" has nothing in common with an alpine pasture in terms of character. It's more like a restaurant. Menus are only available via QR code on mobile phones, and card payments are accepted only. The decor is modern. Dogs are not allowed inside. Upon request, we were allowed to sit with our small dog in a corner by the entrance. Those who didn't ask could also enter with a large dog. The food was good, but neither the staff nor the kitchen knew what was in the dish. The cheese breakfast was served without bread and eggs, and the roll and pretzel were extra. Bread was unavailable at 11:30 a.m. The staff were friendly and tried to arrange everything to our satisfaction. A rustic alpine pasture, the "Steinlingalm," is just around the corner.

Beautiful, but unfortunately very loud and crowded. Ideal for families with small children.

Great location. But unfortunately, the service team is completely overwhelmed. Even though each table has a number, the waiters wander around with trays of food and drinks, asking for directions. Great view.

Menus are only available via QR code, card payments are required. We're on an alpine pasture, and prices are like those in Munich! This is only possible since there are no regular customers here, only walk-ins. The service staff were excellent.

Typical tourist trap... ordered the so-called "Brotzeit" (a snack) and then, for €25, a few slices of sausage, two small pieces of cheese, a pretzel, and a slice of dry bread. Unfortunately, it looked a bit better and more substantial in the picture. We felt sorry for the waitress; many tables were only occupied by two people.

The view is magnificent and the food delicious. The drinks leave nothing to be desired. The prices are quite high, but understandable considering how everything has to get there. So sometimes something might go out, which I think is absolutely fine. But... There are only online menus, and while you theoretically have the option to reject cookies, the button doesn't work. This means that the menu is only available online, and without cookie acceptance and a smartphone, you have no chance. The service staff... left me absolutely speechless. It was very busy and you were stressed, which wasn't a problem at first. But even when there was some breathing space, you were met with disrespect. Whether you were standing or sitting, you didn't get served for a long time. All the tables were still full of people who had come before you, even though half of them were no longer occupied. No wonder the two waiters have no idea who is new and who isn't. The man at the bar and the woman who served there were friendly enough, but apparently they weren't allowed to do much inside. The colleague in charge, who was only allowed to take the cash, or so we were told, oh man. He's constantly talking to the guests about other guests. A complete no-go! I think next time I'll eat at one of the other three mountain huts right next door. They also have a nice view and perhaps better staff.

The service is extremely poor. The beautiful view and the good food don't make up for it. If we hadn't gotten up every time, we would never have gotten anything. He also walked past us several times without saying a word. Very, very bad

The view and location are very nice. But the snack platter advertised in the flyer is a joke. It's not very good in terms of quantity or the products pictured, and that's for the price. But as we all know, paper is silent.

We love going there. The view is magnificent, the food selection is excellent, and the service is efficient and friendly. It's a pleasant place to linger inside or outside. Children and dogs are welcome.

Disaster! Service ignored us. We waited 40 minutes, and despite our request, no one came. A terrible Kampenwand experience! Not recommended!

Eight of us sat down at an open table inside. Meanwhile, a waitress had a barrier set up, and shortly thereafter, she loudly and contemptuously commented across the room that the area was off-limits. Unprofessional! Impersonal! A conversation at the table would have led to understanding.

Service was very slow. Disorganized. We waited half an hour to pay for two drinks.

Beautiful views in all directions from the terrace. We were just there for a drink before boarding the gondola down to the valley.

Great hut to stay in with a magnificent view and delicious food and drinks that are worth the price!

Four coffees for €20. It's okay – you pay for the location, as we all know. However, the weather was so awful with pouring rain that we weren't even allowed to take the dogs inside to a secluded spot; we were forced to sit outside in the rain. The restrooms were okay. The service was abysmally poor. Regardless of the situation with the dogs, the price-performance ratio here is simply not right, and we wouldn't go back.

Upscale dining, Kaiserschmarrn costs just under 20€ and tastes really delicious.

The terrace is closed, dogs are not allowed in the restaurant, and card payments are accepted only. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the food; I wasn't allowed to.

No cash payments, no dogs allowed, and the terrace is closed in summer. Just keep walking; customers aren't welcome here. There were four of us and we wanted to go out to eat, but if you don't want our money, you don't deserve it. A few minutes further on is the Steinlingalm, where you're welcome.

Great panorama Excellent service. We didn't book a room.

We were there for an Italian brunch and expected more for €70 per person. For breakfast, we had scrambled eggs with ham, warm Leberkäse (liver sausage), and white sausages... So, that had nothing to do with Italian food. The main course of risotto and fish, spinach and cheese gnocchi, a thin, dry shred of beef with a strip of bacon on every fifth slice, was not to my liking. The desserts were also only a visual highlight, but the taste left a lot to be desired. The homemade lemonade tasted like water. All in all, a great place, a great panorama, and certainly good a la carte food. BUT brunch? No thanks, never again!

The only good thing about the SonnenAlm is the view. We wanted to refuel here after a hike, but the only vegan option was a side salad. Even French fries are only served with schnitzel here. Maximum profit is probably more important than customer satisfaction. Friendly service is also rare here. We won't be back.

A truly beautiful view from the restaurant. Unfortunately, the service, as well as the breakfast, was absolutely terrible. You can only pay by card and access the menu via QR code – they describe themselves as "digital." However, the order is then handwritten on a pad, and half of it is forgotten. We had to ask several times about missing items, and one breakfast item was completely forgotten. For the price (€19.50), the breakfast was unfortunately very lackluster and just standard fare.

Expensive and poor service, better to hike to the next alpine pasture.

A truly unique experience, taking the Kampenwand cable car up and down. Once at the top, you'll be treated to magnificent views in all directions. The Sonnen Alm is a very well-maintained hotel, both inside and out. Definitely recommended.

We sat down at a table inside. The waiter walked past us four times without saying a word. A quick "Hello, I'll be right there" would have been nice, at least. Or is service only by appointment? After waiting a few minutes, we'd had enough and left.

Kaiserschmarren and cheese spaetzle very tasty

The location is very nice, but the service and the price-performance ratio for the food don't match. The waiters were completely overwhelmed and you sometimes have to wait 30 minutes or more for a drink. The food is expensive and I didn't leave full. The portion of fries that came with it was tiny and the meat wasn't good for the price. I'm happy to pay more for good quality, but it's definitely too expensive for what you get. It's a shame that this was my last visit to the Sonnen Alm.

Even though it's on the mountain, the food prices are far too high. I can't comment on the rooms. However, the ambiance is beautiful and the decor is very well done.

Very tasty food, very friendly staff, nice atmosphere

Mother's Day with a Difference – or: How to Successfully Scare Off Locals We had reserved a table online – or so we thought. When we politely inquired at the entrance, we received the charming reply: "Just sit somewhere where no one is sitting." – Wow. No "Hello," no "Grüß Gott," no trace of hospitality. Maybe we'd simply forgotten to take off our invisible cloaks. The waiter who took our order was a real experience. His mood probably wouldn't have been right at home even in a disused mine in Timbuktu (no offense – but anyone who enjoys their job so little should perhaps seriously consider changing careers). One of my absolute highlights was the notice at the next table: For an empty plate – yes, really empty! – there's a 1 euro surcharge. For what exactly? For air consumption? The children's menu listed three dishes – an ambitious number, considering that two of them were already gone before we could even order. Perhaps the dishes were merely symbolic, like the service. Speaking of prices: The menu – neither a culinary highlight nor imaginative – is obviously only priced for tourists. 27.40 euros for a modest portion of schnitzel... We're locals and wanted to spend a nice Mother's Day – instead, we got a concentrated dose of unfriendliness, unprofessionalism, and rip-off at its finest. The drinks, by the way, came... eventually. You shouldn't be thirsty then either – it could be dangerous. And then the crowning glory: The waiter pointedly stopped while I paid by card, visibly waiting for me to offer him a tip. I took this moment to politely but firmly decline – you don't want to set the wrong incentive. Conclusion: If you're looking for genuine service, friendliness, and a pleasant dining experience, you'd better move on. Maybe you'll find a restaurant somewhere that still understands the concept of hospitality. This one is definitely not one of them.

We went there for dinner on Saturday at 6 p.m. We sat inside and were almost alone. Unfortunately, we weren't so lucky with the waitress. When we arrived, it took a while for her to even come over to us. Then she asked if we had enough time and took our order. After 45 minutes, she still hadn't returned, even though she checked several times. And everyone else who came after us had already finished eating. We then asked a colleague. Unfortunately, he barely understood us and didn't answer her or come back to us himself. After another 15 minutes, we finally got her to our table, and she asked if we hadn't eaten yet? And why we hadn't said anything. We should have said something much sooner. Then she said she forgot to give the order to the kitchen. We then got lukewarm Kaspatzen (cheesecakes), and when we asked for a drink because we'd had to wait forever and our drinks were now empty, she consulted the bar twice and first offered us a shot?! And then said she didn't want to pay €10 for it herself. And then she got even louder and said, annoyed, that she'd already said it was her mistake. Wow. We then got one apple spritzer divided between two glasses. And when we were finally able to eat, she came and wanted to take the money so she wouldn't forget it later. Incredible!!! Never again.. Oh yeah.. Of course, no one came back to ask if we liked it or if we needed anything else. The table wasn't cleared either.. Service was beyond awful!!! Almost nonexistent...

An outrage! Never again on the Kampenwand cable car for the solstice! We were at the solstice fire on the Kampenwand on June 21st – a truly wonderful experience that was completely ruined by the organizer's disastrous management. Before and after the event, the gondola ride was a complete disaster: 1.5 hours up, 3 hours waiting down, crowded against the barbed wire fence, with hundreds of other people, in the dark, with toddlers, children, elderly people, and pregnant women. The organization was simply nonexistent. We were left to our own devices – no clear information, no announcements, no coordination. The situation was dangerous at times, absolutely unacceptable, and, in our opinion, negligently poorly planned. One had the impression that the only goal was to sell as many tickets as possible – and after that, the guests were completely on their own. The fire in the valley was certainly larger and visible much further. Conclusion: If you want to save yourself and your family many hours of chaos and frustration, you should stay well away from this event.

We attended the solstice celebration at the Sonnenalm and on the Kampenwand. It could actually be a super event. However, the venue was completely overwhelmed by the influx of people. The waitress at the Sonnenalm, a young woman who served the hotel guests, did a great job serving the guests. She hauled and hauled drinks and food. All of this was done in a timely manner. Our waiter (we were just "regular guests") wasted time explaining how and in what order he would take orders. This resulted in one guest at our table actually receiving a wheat beer within four hours. After a corresponding wait for the order, the food came very quickly. There were no more drinks until the end of the event. This made sense, too, as the line in front of the women's restroom (four of them) had grown to about 50 people. The descent was also an adventure because everyone, who knows how many people, wanted to go down. With goodwill and patience, this event can be brought to an end. We don't need that anymore. We've been there twice now. The first and the last time.

If the beer tap only produces foam by 5 p.m. on what is probably the busiest day of the year (the solstice celebration), I, as the proprietor, would get a mobile beer tap from the basement or, in the worst case, organize one from the valley. Instead, the employees were forced to spend the entire evening pouring the tapped foam back and forth between mugs to produce "beer," which was shamelessly served to the guests at full price. Bottled beer would have been available at a stand outside with a gigantic wait, but that also ran out after a short time, leaving you with the choice between overpriced Spezi or stale beer from the foam machine. The rooms were also a disaster. Six beds crammed into a space comparable to a storage closet, where you could only stand upright directly in front of the door. There was exactly one restroom per gender for the entire floor in the hallway. With an estimated capacity of 44 people, that was almost criminally low. The breakfast was solid, but there was no water on the buffet. You could have purchased it for a mere €6.50. This place presents a sad combination of unprofessionalism and greed.

We were on the Kampenwand on a rainy day and sheltered from the rain at the Sonnenalb restaurant. The ambiance is very nice and welcoming! The food, however, is a bit expensive!

Midsummer celebration 3 hours waiting time at the gondola lift came down at 2.30

The surroundings are, of course, stunningly beautiful, and the idea is good on paper. But a solstice bonfire on the Kampenwand doesn't really make sense. At least not with the cable car. You either arrive many hours in advance and spend the afternoon on the mountain (which certainly has its advantages), or you wait an hour and a half for the ride up. Once you get to the top, the hut is completely overcrowded, and you wait an inordinately long time for drinks, food, and the toilet. There's really only enough space to find a spot near a fire and then stay there as long as possible. The average wait time in line for the gondola ride down to the valley is two to three hours, maybe even longer. Meanwhile, everyone else is trying to move closer and closer to the fire, fighting over each other for the best spots near the heat. No matter how you look at it, you basically spend your entire time on the mountain waiting in lines. So, in that sense, it might even be a German's wet dream 😂 But honestly, the whole thing only makes sense with the ascent and descent on foot, a picnic blanket, self-catering, and warm clothing. But I can have that somewhere else with fewer crowds. The fire isn't anything particularly special either. Sure, it's nice with the alphorn players, but it's really not worth the effort. Oh yeah, and then there's the €55 fine for parking on the grass verge because it's hopelessly overcrowded. It all just doesn't make sense, somehow.

05/22/25 We went to the Sonnen Alm yesterday for the solstice bonfire. Even on the way up with the Kampenwand cable car, we waited in line for an hour and a half, even though we had online tickets. Around 7:00 p.m., we finally arrived at the mountain pasture, and it was so crowded that we had to constantly push our way through the crowd. Far too many people for this mountain pasture. There were only four women's restrooms for the several thousand people. There was only one place to buy drinks outside the restaurant. That meant waiting in line for at least half an hour. The solstice bonfire was okay! Then around 9:45 p.m., we went back to the cable car, stood in a tight, crowded line, and finally reached the valley around 11:30 p.m. Conclusion: Far too many people allowed on the mountain pasture! Poor organization for drinks and food. Waiting over three hours to get to the mountain pasture and back was absurd. Once solstice fire on the Kampenwand and never again!

If wheelchairs could fit on the Kampenwandbahn cable car, even paraplegics could make it unaided to the alpine inn, located 1,500 meters above sea level. The climb from the mountain station to the very generously dimensioned terrace of the relatively new building is that easy. Here, you'll find comprehensively optimized, perfectly timed high-alpine romance à la 21st century. What's on offer at the tables is reminiscent of Back to the Future. On normal hikes, you'd make sure you quickly grab a few coins from the last ATM before the overpriced parking lot in the valley, but that's not the case at the Sonnenalm. Here, you connect to the Wi-Fi before starting the via ferrata. And not just because the Lidl Connect app is exhausted again, but to scan the menu with the QR code at the table. If you take a photo of this, you'll see that the mountain inn no longer accepts cash. Payment logic in Germany has been completely turned upside down, but apparently no problem for digital mountain enthusiasts. The only thing is that their bank cards no longer have to jam. Scrolling further down the menu reveals, in addition to breakfast and snacks, hearty inn classics, as well as cakes and ice cream for those with a sweet tooth among the mountain enthusiasts. All this is best washed down with a local Heller from Aschau or Bello Giovanni iced tea. For whatever reason, the currant soft drink is called Italian here. If you want to eat cheaper than at an alpine hut like this, you're better off bringing a Tupperware container that you haven't given back to your mom since 2008. What is surprising, then, are the white sausages at €11.50. Although they are smaller than elsewhere, they are served in four portions with a pretzel and sweet Händlmaier mustard. The spectacle of the year at this panoramic hut is the solstice celebration in June. The next day, the staff are still a bit tired, but they cover up their resentment from the previous day with a lighthearted joke.

We were at the summer solstice celebration at the mountain pasture yesterday and were able to get a seat inside (there were five of us). Although it was busy, most guests were outside at the food and drink stands. Since almost everyone preferred to sit outside in the nice weather, the stress "inside" was kept to a minimum. The waitress – presumably the landlady herself, judging by the name tag – was very unfriendly. She only took two drink orders at a time, insisted on immediate cash payment with the correct amount, and categorically refused to give change: "I need the correct amount, otherwise there won't be any drinks." When we briefly considered how to resolve this, we were impatiently pressured with the words: "Please be quicker, if it takes so long for everyone." When we suggested ordering food at the same time, she brusquely rejected the idea: "No food here today." She didn't even respond to our further inquiry, instead taking the two unpaid drinks back and simply leaving us standing there. Luckily, another waiter – "Willi" according to the name tag – took over for us. He was extremely friendly, attentive, and professional. He was able to exchange money and took our entire order, including the food, without any problems. Apparently, his real name was "Hamed" – if he was forced to work under a different name, that would be more than questionable. Conclusion: Words are lost on the "landlady" herself – it's shameful how she treats guests and staff (she even shouted at her staff in front of the guests!). This beautiful alpine hut definitely deserves different management and cannot be recommended.

We attended the solstice celebration at the Sonnenalm. Judging by the way the event went, you'd think this was the first time they'd organized something like this... The sausage stand forgot the adapter for the second grill, but it didn't matter because they ran out of sausages after two hours. (The event runs from 6 p.m. to midnight.) There were far too few/unexperienced waiters at the alm (they couldn't see the guests, carrying trays was difficult...); it took 45 minutes for anyone to come to the table. In that time, the table could have been staffed a second time, or at least the next round of drinks could have been sold (lost revenue?!). The food was very good, but the portions were small and expensive (two mini dumplings with mushrooms for €18.50). There were five dishes (schnitzel, dumplings, cheese spaetzle, and two other meat dishes to choose from). The crepe stand, the salmon grill (€16.50 for a mini portion of salmon with half a potato), and the drinks stand: the queues were completely chaotic. Everyone was asking each other who was in line for what, where, and everyone had to go to the same cash register first. The crepe line therefore had to make a detour, and those who wanted drinks had to leave. The girls did their best, but two crepe ovens were simply not enough. They waited in line for 1-1.5 hours, during which time it was sunset and the fire was lit (which burned down after 30 minutes). Each person could easily serve two ovens at once. And signs/barriers indicating where to line up for what would be helpful. Even a single drink dispenser/return counter would increase sales revenue.

The food is terrible. Many dishes on the menu are unavailable. The waiting times are exceptionally long. No cash payments accepted! The waiter spilled a wheat beer on our clothes without apologizing. Of course, we had to pay for the spilled beer. The reimbursement for the cleaning of our clothes is still pending. This was a unique visit to the Alm.

Delicious food, friendly service and amazing views 😊 I'm glad I didn't read all the negative reviews before visiting this place, because they would have definitely put me off.

Definitely not recommended for the solstice celebration!

Unfortunately, we haven't been served for about half an hour. Not even after asking at the counter. The tables are almost all empty. But the entire staff is in an internal meeting regarding the solstice celebration. What a shame and disappointing!

Great view, good food – but more toilet paper, please! The Sonnenalm really has a lot to offer: stunning views, delicious food, and a cozy atmosphere. But one thing simply has to be mentioned: The restrooms were completely out of paper during my visit – and this in a busy day-trip restaurant. Especially after a good meal, there shouldn't be any toilet paper left on the quiet side. A suggestion: Three rolls per stall would be a solid basic setup. Anyone who's ever found themselves with 50% phone battery and 0% toilet paper knows what I'm talking about. 😉 Still: I'll be back – but next time with extra paper in my bag.

We were very disappointed: Little selection, very expensive, no cash payments, menus only available via QR code, and the food wasn't great either. The ambiance, however, is very nice.

We didn't stay overnight. We took a day trip.

The worst value for money I've ever experienced at a "mountain hut" (you shouldn't really call it that). Tomato bread with egg costs 19 euros – really cheeky. Please go to another mountain hut; we shouldn't support commercialism.

A cable car ride that's well worth it. A 15-minute ride up, with a stunning panoramic view. Once at the top, you'll be greeted by the jingling of cowbells. The hike to the summit cross is doable, but proper footwear is essential. If you're feeling a little peckish, stop in and enjoy a Kaiserschmarrn (sweet pancake) or apple strudel with vanilla sauce—only if you like sweets, of course. Those who prefer savory dishes can choose something delicious from the menu. The friendly staff will give you plenty of good advice. By the way, if you go up to the Kampenwand in brilliant sunshine—you've hit the jackpot!

Great view, no question. However, we received our meals 20 minutes apart. Considering that each meal costs €20-30, the service wasn't good for me. Likewise, coffee and cake arrived at other times, 20 minutes apart. You want to have them together. The staff isn't very attentive.

Menus and payment are only available electronically, but orders can only be placed with the waiter. Somehow illogical.

We had the mountain brunch for €75. The view was absolutely fantastic and the food was good, too. However, it's pretty cheeky that still water isn't even included and you're forced to buy a bottle of water for €9. A water carafe is included with every simple hotel breakfast.

I found the food overpriced and nothing special. The schnitzel arrived very late, after everyone else had already finished eating. The salad arrived after we asked the waitress.

We were here for brunch on Whit Monday! The price is high. Service is very good, the food is delicious. Coffee and sparkling wine are included, and one orange juice is included. Unfortunately, the water isn't included and is very expensive, which is a shame. Otherwise, everything was perfect. The view is unique. The gondola ride and parking are extra. The total is €100 per person.

The view and ambiance are very nice. The wait was a bit longer, but we were there at around 12:00 PM, prime time, so it's still bearable. However, the food is average at best (!) and an absolute disgrace for the price. Just hike to the nearest alpine pasture and eat there...

Great place with a fantastic view. Staff very friendly and humorous. Drinks and food are delicious and plentiful. The view is breathtaking and it's worth taking a stroll around, admiring the nature, and letting yourself be intoxicated. See for yourself.

The staff preferred to be on their phones rather than attending to incoming guests. Ultimately, we had to order at the counter because all attempts to attract attention failed. However, no German was spoken behind the counter. Drinks or other requests were not requested during our stay. There were no suitable options for small children. Prices were very high.

Terribly bad service. Even though we had a reservation and the restaurant had been open for over an hour, they were still cleaning and setting the remaining tables. The staff calmly served breakfast. We had difficulty ordering drinks, but afterward, we were completely ignored. There were no other guests present. We decided to pay and have breakfast somewhere else. We even had to chase the staff to pay.

Unfortunately, we had to stay outside. Payment is only possible by card; cash is not accepted.

It's a shame about the fantastic view from the alpine terrace. The pseudo-Bavarian modern style has nothing to do with a cozy mountain hut atmosphere. The terrace is very nice, but unfortunately, the staff is very inattentive. Menus are only available via QR code, and payment is only possible by card. This doesn't go down well with older guests. And the prices are completely overpriced by Chiemgau standards compared to other mountain huts. After waiting, we left and went to the cozy alpine hut located a little lower down.

Just steps from the Kampenwand cable car. Large glass windows, magnificent views of the mountains and Lake Chiemsee. The food was disappointing: the Kaiserschmarrn was too fatty, with too few eggs, but with nuts (!!) added. Side dishes included ice cream (!!) and unsweetened fruit compote.

Price performance is not right.

The prices are terrible. It's understandable that you have to pay more on the mountain. But almost €25.00 for a snack plate is outrageous. Two slices of salami, one slice of ham and some cheese. One slice of bread and one pretzel. If you want an extra slice you have to pay extra, of course. It has to get more expensive every year even though the quality hasn't improved. It's absolutely outrageous. But the tourists pay for everything. I don't. The wheat beer, at almost €6, is also extortionate. Think about why most people only eat cake and only have one drink. If the prices were better people would definitely consume more. Luckily the service was really friendly and understood us.

QR code menu and only card payment, they have shit in their brains

The prices are exorbitant. Kaiserschmarrn for over €20 is outrageous and not tasty. And there aren't even individual fries for kids. It's better to walk a few meters further for authentic mountain huts.

Arrogant, ignorant, unfriendly... These gentlemen seem to have had enough of it! Better to walk a bit past the cable car to the Möslarn Alm, it's really nice there 👍🏼

Pleasant café – ideal for cakes, less so for hot meals. The daily special (risotto, €15.20) was a bit bland, and the portion was rather small. The bread basket was dry. At least. The cheesecake was excellent and lovingly presented. The staff was polite, but seemed stressed and not entirely cohesive. The interior is stylish, with plenty of light – good for a coffee break. Rather disappointing for a hearty lunch. No Wi-Fi. Complete. Total bill: €58 for two daily specials, two cakes, and two sodas

A solid café with a beautiful location, but probably not our first choice for lunch. The spaghetti (€14.90) was okay, but lacked any particular flavor or refinement. The salad was fresh, but quite simply presented. Positive. The cappuccino was very good, and the drinks arrived quickly. The service was attentive, but slightly overwhelmed when the place was full. The interior is cozy, and the terrace invites you to linger – perfect for coffee and cake, less so for a long lunch. No Wi-Fi available. Total. Total bill: €55 for two main courses, two drinks, and a slice of cake

The prices are more than high. The location is beautiful. It's the first place to stop after the gondola ride. That's probably why the prices are affordable.

Stylish restaurant with a fantastic view. The staff was very friendly. The prices are quite steep. One latte, one latte, and one Kaiserschmarrn for €30.50. The Kaiserschmarrn was plentiful and very tasty.

A great attraction for hikers and mountain lovers. A magnificent view of the mountain range. The SonnenAlm is very cozy with a large sun terrace. A downside is the digital menu and card-only payment.

Perfect location with a fantastic view of the Alps. A quick glance at the menu revealed the best prices of our vacation. Nevertheless, we would have liked a drink. Unfortunately, the service ignored us. So, we didn't, and we ate down in the valley.

The service is poor, the dishes are overpriced, and the quality of the food doesn't match the prices. The Kaiserschmarn tastes like it was cooked in the same fat as a schnitzel (that's how it was perceived by six people). I don't recommend visiting this restaurant!

The view and the restaurant are really nice, but the food and the prices are unfortunately the opposite. The waiter mixed up our orders (more than once), the asparagus soup we had was cold and more like pudding because it was far too thick, and the flavor was quite bland. The apple strudel was far too sweet, and the vanilla sauce was also pudding-like. We also had to wait quite a long time, even though it wasn't busy.

Wonderful view and modern ambiance. We enjoyed the delicious Kaiserschmarrn.

No You take the gondola up to the Kampenwand, and if you don't have a debit card, you can't stop for a drink.

In short: disappointing food and service. Will choose a different hut next time.
