Your summer in the Chiemgau region

Feel the joy of summer

Have you ever watched the sun rise over the Alps during your summer holiday? Picture the moment when the first rays peek over the Hochplatte mountain. And in the evening, the sky transforms into a warm, glowing canvas as the sun sets - summer magic at its finest.

Summertime Inspirations.

Summer in the Chiemgau region offers countless opportunities for adventure and relaxation. Picture yourself cycling along the scenic banks of the Tyrolean Ache river or exploring the breathtaking landscape with a hiking backpack between the mountains and Lake Chiemsee. Take a ride to the summit on the Hochplatten mountain cable car, or enjoy a peaceful countryside picnic with stunning views of the 1,748m-high Hochgern mountain. And, of course, no summer experience here would be complete without indulging in the delights of a traditional Bavarian beer garden.

Cycling holidays in Bavaria

You probably can't wait to finally start pedalling and go on fabulous bike tours in the Chiemgau region. Our tip: The Achental valley cycle path that leads to Lake Chiemsee on mostly flat paths. And if you want a longer bike tour then you can add on the 59 km Lake Chiemsee cycle path. We’ll provide you with maps.

Long-distance cycle paths, such as, the Lake Constance-Lake Königssee cycle path, the saltworks cycle path, the Upper Bavarian water cycle path or the Mozart cycle path, are also not far away.

Can you safely store your mountain bike or e-bike? Of course, in our bike garage. What if you need to fix something on your bike? Of course, we have a cooperation with a bicycle repair shop. We’re also happy to prepare packed lunches for you. As we’ve been designated a bike hotel by Bett+Bike, we’re ideally prepared for the needs of cyclists.

Hiking in the Chiemgau region

Yes, we have favourite trails for hiking around Marquartstein. Great features of these tours include: A rest stop on the Chiemgau alpine pastures. Looking down on the Alpine peaks from the Hochplatte mountain. The view of Lake Chiemsee from above, e.g. from the Schnappen church. These are breathtaking. Time and again. For us, too. Even though we grew up here.

What’s your preference - pleasant hiking or climbing up mountains? In the Chiemgau region, everyone will be able to find their favourite stretch.

Bathing & Water Sports

You won't need much - just swimwear and a towel and you'll be ready to go. To the ‘Bavarian seaside’, as Lake Chiemsee is referred to. The largest lake in Bavaria. And only 10 km away. Laze in the sun at the bathing spots, right on the lakeshore. And, now and then, go for a swim. Or you can show how confidently you can manoeuvre through the water while standing up on a paddleboard or windsurfing. In our opinion, this is easier by boat or kayak. Would you rather go on an excursion boat? The closest pier is in Bernau. By the way, even closer than Lake Chiemsee is the Reifinger See lake. Only 800 m away. It’s admittedly smaller than Lake Chiemsee, but a really pretty spot nonetheless.

Golfing in the Chiemgau

Would you prefer to walk across golf course lawns instead of on hiking trails ? When you go golfing in the Chiemgau region, you’ll nevertheless have pure natural surroundings. One of the most beautiful courses in the region is definitely the 18-hole course in Prien with a view of the Alps and Lake Chiemsee.

Flying experiences

Honestly, this isn’t for everyone. But if you venture to do so, you’ll have an unforgettable experience. With a hang-glider or a paraglider take off from the Hochplatte mountain into the sky. Hover above the Achental valley. And finally land at the Weßner Hof. You’ll carry that in your heart.
