    Photo: Michael Wutz, Community
The alp Sonthofer Hof is located at a height of 1147 m and is popular both among guests and inhabitants of the region. It operates during the whole year and visitors enjoy here a fascinating view of the valley Illertal.
High above Sonthofen hikers, alpinists and mountain bikers enjoy to stop by at the alp Sonthofer Hof. During summer time Sonthofer Hof is managed by the family Schratt and from the beginning of may on it is open daily. There are about 80 exemplars of young cattle and two cows which live and graze here until october. Besides, a donkey lives here, goats, rabbits and chickens. Guests enjoy homemade goats cheese, hearty snacks and homemade cake, while the little guests are playing at the sand box and the swings. 

But not only in the warm season the alp is a popular destination, as well in winter time many families and outdoor enthusiasts visit the farm to enjoy a snack or the illuminated view of the valley while warming themself with a glühwein. From october until april the skiing club Sonthofen manages the catering of the guests voluntarily on weekends. The Schafkopf (a trick-taking card game) turneys are popular as well.

The alp Sonthofer Hof is a member of the association Allgäuer Alpengenuss e.V.
