DAS GRASECK – Mountain Retreat & Wellness Center

DAS GRASECK – mountain hideaway & health care is situated at 900 meters above sea level at the foot of the Dreitorspitze in the Wetterstein Mountains. It was from here that the first ascent of the Zugspitze was undertaken, during which the summit cross was erected in 1851. Not far from the towns of Garmisch and Partenkirchen, the former Royal Bavarian forest lodge towers above the famous Partnach Gorge and is surrounded by a picturesque natural setting of lush mountain meadows, rolling snow-covered landscapes, and scattered farms. This exclusive boutique hotel, featuring an integrated medical prevention center, offers peace and seclusion. The journey to the hotel is an experience in itself, as the Graseckbahn—newly built in 2024 and currently the most modern and only fully automated cable car in Germany—takes you up to the hotel in just a few minutes. The spacious rooms and suites feature a subtle Alpine design and delight with thoughtful pops of color, open-concept bathrooms, and large balconies.

Outside the door

The hotel in the Zugspitze region is an ideal starting point for a variety of hikes that lead through nature reserves, rocky landscapes, and small wooded areas. For golf enthusiasts, a total of 19 golf courses in the area await your tee-off. In winter, the region transforms into a winter wonderland and offers opportunities for skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, extended tours, and snowshoeing around the Zugspitze. With the hotel’s experienced trainers, you can complete a personalized workout. The wild and romantic gorge, King Ludwig II’s mysterious hunting lodge, and the rocky Reintal Valley are just a few of the charming highlights in the immediate vicinity.

Inside the pool

Back at the hotel, deep relaxation is the order of the day: in the two heated outdoor pools, you can fully indulge in the pleasure of swimming while enjoying the view of the Wetterstein Mountains. In the panoramic sauna, Finnish old-wood sauna, infrared cabins, and steam grotto, the worries of everyday life melt away in the soothing warmth. After a sauna session, you can doze off for a while in the various relaxation rooms or the reading lounge, replenishing your fluids with an aromatic herbal or fruit tea in the lounge corner by the open fire.  If you appreciate a health check-up in a hotel atmosphere, you’re in good hands here, as a team of doctors is on hand.
