The Winklmoos-Alm is a vast alpine pasture area in the Chiemgau Alps, located in the municipality of Reit im Winkl in the Traunstein district of Bavaria, Germany. It is situated on a high plateau at an elevation of approximately 1170 meters above sea level, between the Dürrnbachhorn and Steinplatte mountains. The area is a popular destination for hiking and skiing, with several houses, alpine huts, and accommodation options, including the Traunsteiner Skihütte of the German Alpine Association.
