What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Still family-run, it’s slowly grown over the course of a century into what it is today: a four-season escape…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set in the Allgäu countryside outside Ofterschwang, the resort borders private championship golf fairways, alpine hiking paths, and ski slopes.
The rooms
Alpine wood craftsmanship meets country-house design, where private balconies look out across Allgäu peaks and open fireplaces warm select chalets.
The pools and lake
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated indoor and outdoor pools sit beside a natural bathing lake bordered by wooden piers and sun loungers.
The spa and gym
Quiet relaxation lounges look onto snow-covered terraces, and the wood-paneled fitness studio hosts daily yoga and Pilates classes.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Timber-framed dining rooms serve hearty Bavarian fare, and cozy lounges pour evening drinks beneath carved antler fixtures.
How it began
Four generations of the Fäßler family have guided the estate since 1919, transforming a modest country inn into a sprawling alpine retreat.
