Getting There is a Breeze

For U.S. travelers, getting to this mountain paradise is easier than you'd think.

Meet Berchtesgaden: The Alpine Town You’ll Instantly Fall For

Tucked into southeastern Germany near the Austrian border, Berchtesgaden is a storybook town bursting with natural beauty, fascinating history, and small-town charm. It was once under U.S. military control after WWII, and today, it's known for its lush landscapes, fresh alpine air, and peaceful vibes.

Winter is peak ski season, with nearby slopes like Jenner Mountain and Götschen Ski Center offering runs for every level (plus snowboarding and sledding, too!).

During Summer it's the kind of place where you can hike through meadows, bike along mountain trails, or take an electric boat across Lake Königssee to the Instagram-famous St. Bartholomew’s Church. There's even an ice cave you can explore in the middle of summer.

Stylish Stays with Serious Comfort

With 130 guest rooms ranging from cozy singles to plush suites, Hotel Edelweiss has a space for every type of traveler—whether you're flying solo, honeymooning, or bringing the whole family.

Rooms are equal parts alpine-cute and contemporary-comfy, and all bookings include a hearty regional breakfast buffet to fuel your mountain adventures.

The Spa You’ll Never Want to Leave

Let’s talk about the EDELWEISS Spa—a 2,400 m² wellness wonderland that’s basically a vacation within a vacation. The indoor pool with panoramic mountain views is breathtaking and the rooftop infinity whirlpool heated to a toasty 36°C is absolute bliss.

There’s even a sauna world with everything from a salt sauna to an aroma steam bath, and if you’re traveling with kids, there’s a family-friendly textile sauna too.

Want to take your wellness to the next level? Join a sunrise yoga session on the rooftop terrace, book a deep-tissue massage or refreshing facial, or try an alpine herb body wrap between mountain hikes. And yes, there's a spa bistro where you can sip smoothies or nibble on light bites in your robe.

A Foodie’s Alpine Fantasy

After a long day of hiking or spa-ing, you’ll want to dig into something delicious—and Hotel Edelweiss delivers. The main restaurant serves a rotating five-course dinner menu featuring elevated Bavarian-Alpine classics with global flair. Think schnitzel meets truffle risotto.

For something even more wow-worthy, head up to Restaurant PANORAMA, perched on the top floor.

With sweeping views of the Watzmann mountain range, it’s the perfect place to sip a glass of wine and feast on gourmet burgers, tarte flambée, and ultra-fresh salads.
