The Saletalm (also spelled Sallet ) is an alpine pasture directly at the southern end of the Königsee . The Salet landing stage of the Königsseeschifffahrt is located on the alpine pasture , as well as the Salet-Alm restaurant and an alpine hut with refreshment stops, just a few minutes' walk away .

Salet was mentioned in a document as early as 1516, the name derives from the Latin illud salectum ( willow thicket ).

The history of the tourist development of the Saletalm began on June 3, 1912, when the married couple Michael Hofreiter and Rosa John received a concession from Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria to build a kiosk with 16 m² of land for their wedding . This hut was steadily expanded into today's restaurant, built in 1966, which can seat more than 300 people with outside seating. However, it has no overnight accommodation.
