Hut overnight stay in the Chiemgau Alps at Priener Hütte with children
This family's experience:

Activities: We hiked up the Geigelstein. The children were with us. "The mood was stormy and the view therefore quite limited." We didn't stay too long at the summit. We descended a steep route

Highlights: We searched for and saw marmots during the hike. The descent made the big daughter happy. After the tour, we ate cake and drank Holler-Schorle, and the big daughter and I took an extensive afternoon nap ✨
