Weddings, christenings, milestone birthdays, family celebrations and company Christmas parties for up to 120 guests can be booked at Almgasthof Stögeralm. The inn stands at Schliersee in Upper Bavaria and no longer opens as a regular restaurant: it opens by appointment for events and celebrations, so each group has the house to itself.
Seminars and company events
The Stögeralm offers Christmas parties for companies and groups of 15 to 60 people, with reservation requested in advance. Larger company celebrations follow the same terms as private events, up to 120 guests. The owner plans each event with the organizer, from the menu to the course of the day, and draws on many years of experience with festive occasions. A banquet folder with information on organization and sample menus is available on request. The inn also holds seasonal dinners, such as roast duck on the Kirchweih weekend and the Advent weekends.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a large part of the business, and the official site describes the Stögeralm as an event and wedding location. Every celebration, from a christening to a wedding, is planned to the couple's or family's wishes. The owner notes with pride that many couples come back to the beer garden for a visit years after their wedding.
Rooms and capacities
The inn hosts events and celebrations of up to 120 guests. The rebuilt main house is finished in wood throughout. Next to the beer garden, the Salettl, a small pavilion added in 2010, looks out over the Schliersee lake and is used for smaller parties and celebrations. The beer garden itself is part of the setting.
Catering
The kitchen is run by the owner, Hubert Stöger, who describes his cooking as exclusive, hearty and inventive. He puts the weight on fresh ingredients and regional produce. In autumn the menu includes game he has hunted himself and mushrooms from the local forests. The house specialty is freshly grilled duck, prepared to an old family recipe and served only on pre-order so that it reaches the table at its best. The inn is known for exclusive events where the meal is the center of the day.
History and setting
The farmers Hans and Resi Stöger saw the rise of tourism in the region early and in 1953 turned their mountain pasture hut into an inn. In 1996 their nephew Hubert Stöger, the current owner, took over the alm. In 2006 the house was completely rebuilt to modern building standards, with a great deal of wood, warmth and attention to detail. The Salettl followed in 2010. Long-serving staff look after guests directly and carry the hospitality of the house.
Getting there
The address is Stögeralm, 83727 Schliersee, in the Upper Bavarian lake district south of Munich.
