Expenses

Holiday costs in the Bavarian Alps are noticeably lower than in other regions in the European Alps, in particular Switzerland. This differential soon becomes obvious in terms of restaurants, shopping and accommodation.

For those on a walking holiday, camping is the cheapest and most flexible form of accommodation. There are plenty of campsites spread along the fringes of the Bavarian Alps, and it is often possible to leave your car at the campsite, and to just pay for your empty tent (leeres Zelt) if you are walking from hut to hut. Pensions or bed and breakfasts are also quite reasonably priced and ideal if you intend to base yourself in an area for several days (most offer discounts for a stay of a week or more) and are not planning to stay in the mountain huts. Every tourist office has a Gästeverzeichnis (accommodation list), and it pays to get hold of a copy.

Using this guide

In this book the Bavarian Alps are divided into six mountain groups, described from west to east. The divisions are more or less in accordance with those stipulated by the Alpine Club (AV).
