Your holiday by the lake

Summer holiday in Bavaria

Spend your holiday at one of the highest mountain lakes in Germany.
Alpine meadows in bloom, the gentle ringing of cowbells and the soft quacking of ducks can be heard up here at the end of the road, otherwise it is quiet up here in the mountains.
In the evening you can enjoy the sunset and in the morning you wake up to a view of the lake, where the last wafts of fog announce a wonderful summer day.

Swimming in the Spitzingsee

The most beautiful bathing spot on the Spitzingsee – our lakeside sunbathing lawn

A must for your summer holiday: swimming in the Spitzingsee.
Our lake rarely reaches temperatures of more than 22° degrees in the summer months, offering the perfect way to cool down after a nice day high up in the mountains.
Sun loungers and parasols await you on our own lakeside sunbathing lawn with bathing jetty. In your room you will find a spa bag with towels, bathrobes and slippers.
You can buy drinks from the nearby SpitzingAlm or the AlpenSpa bistro.

Don’t miss the unique sunset – ideally with our AlpenSpritz cocktail in your hand.

Climbing at Spitzingsee

Challenging sport climbing routes above the Spitzingsee

The Krettenburg at the Obere First Alm is a rocky outcrop exposed to the south directly behind the Obere Firstalm. The ascent from the hotel takes just under an hour. At the top you reach the climbing garden: a 250-metre-wide rock formation with usable, partly good to very good rock, average wall footing, sunny and shady sections and a good inn just five minutes away. The climbing garden was renovated in autumn 2014, but remains sporty and challenging. Another (sports) climbing area can be found at Taubenstein, where you can also expect quite demanding routes on the west face. The start is easy to reach via the Taubenstein cable car in 5-10 minutes by taking the gondola up the mountain.

You can borrow the appropriate topos for free from us at the reception.

Your holiday on the water

Watersports on the Spitzingsee

Enjoy the Spitzingsee from the water!
Rent a SUP, pedal boat or rowing boat from the nearby boat rental service and explore the lake from a different perspective.
Fishing in the Spitzingsee is also an option. The fish species include pike, tench, bream, whitefish, eel and perch.
Our kitchen team will be happy to prepare the fish for you on request.

Our reception will help you to obtain the fishing licence you require at any time. Happy fishing!

Mountain carts at Spitzingsee

Fast-paced action on the Stümfpling

Mountain-carting at Spitzingsee

Experience this cool and fast-paced outdoor attraction of the Alpenbahnen Spitzingsee – downhill fun for the whole family!
With these mountain carts – a kind of go-cart for the mountains – you descend from the Stümpflingbahn mountain station over a route of about 3.5 km. The low centre of gravity and the wide wheelbase of the carts ensure high driving stability.
You control the speed yourself via disc brakes.

Open daily from 9:00 a.m. in the summer months from June to October.
