Guided hikes at Spitzingsee

Hiking holidays in Bavaria

Hiking holidays in Upper Bavaria – that means feeling close to nature, scaling peaks, taking in clear views and experiencing seclusion. Enjoy the fresh, clear mountain air and relax with wonderful clear views. Hikers get their money’s worth at Spitzingsee. A mountain paradise opens up right on the hotel’s doorstep with countless routes leading to magnificent vantage points, high-altitude paths and summit crosses, and almost always in view: the Spitzingsee lake with its crystal-clear water! Hiking and wellness can be perfectly combined with us at the Arabella Alpenhotel at Spitzingsee in Bavaria.
Families with smaller children can also access the dreamlike alpine landscape of the Spitzingsee mountains: the Stümpfling and Taubenstein cable cars shorten the ascent time considerably and you glide serenely towards the summit.
During the summer months, our hiking guide Michaela will show you the most beautiful peaks and tours at Spitzingsee.

Before the ridge to the summit, branch off towards the chapel and down to the Freudenreichalm, where a small snack awaits before heading over to the Bodenschneidhaus. Then follow the trail to the Bodenschneid summit, with views of the lakes Tegernsee, Schliersee and Spitzingsee. Now head back towards Stuttenstein and back to the Jagahütten at the Stümpflingbahn mountain station.
