What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
The scenic grounds are now home to a small organic farm where deer, chicken, and goats roam…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Forest hiking trails and cross-country ski routes begin at the doorstep, winding across alpine meadows toward the nearby Austrian border.
The rooms
Standalone chalets cluster around a central swimming pond, featuring local timber finishes, open fireplaces, and private saunas or infrared cabins.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A 16-meter indoor pool is heated to 26°C, and a natural swimming pond cools swimmers outside among the chalets.
The spa
Daybeds line floor-to-ceiling windows in the relaxation lounges, looking straight out toward the surrounding alpine peaks.
The studio
Mats in the wood-floored movement studio look directly onto snowy hillsides, hosting regular yoga and Pilates classes.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Restaurant HEIMAT serves regional Bavarian dishes across pine-clad Stuben, sourcing 80 percent of its ingredients within 80 kilometers.
How it began

Count Klaus and Countess Susanne von Moltke acquired the aging estate in 2011, transforming fifty hectares into a sustainable alpine sanctuary.
