Hospitality

amid the picturesque Alpine panorama, the property adopts a distinctive philosophy: rather than pursuing luxurious perfection, aloof exclusivity, and interchangeable anonymity, this time-honoured hotel champions human connection. Here, guests are drawn into harmony with nature, with others, and with themselves—a balance often missing in everyday life. At the same time, the hotel upholds the highest standards of service quality and, above all, a commitment to sustainable, socially responsible practices: For example, a wood-chip heating plant, photovoltaic systems, combined heat and power units, and high-efficiency pumps contribute to the resort’s renewable energy supply.The resort’s immaculate 18-hole championship course lies harmoniously integrated within the magnificent mountain panorama, while the Oberallgäu Golf Course
