Your 4-star superior hotel in the Bavarian Forest with a unique atmosphere and numerous opportunities for sophisticated vacation planning. If you want to experience the Bavarian Forest with a hiking or skiing holiday, or just want to really relax and enjoy our extensive wellness offers, you are at the best possible place, here at the Sonnenhof. As a BEST WESTERN PREMIER Hotel, we not only offer rooms in various categories and price ranges, but are ideal for families, couples and business travellers alike who want to use the hotel to discover the Bavarian Forest, and thus one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Germany. On our website, we are pleased to present our hotel, the Bayerischer Wald (Bavarian Forest) and our attractive holiday offers to you!

Its secluded location at 700 meters provides the necessary distance from everyday life. Up here, surrounded by meadows and forests and a few scattered old farms, the clocks go slower. It's as if the good old days are hiding up here. You can forget the hustle and bustle and stress, they don't come up here. The Watzmann outside shows us how it's done - calmly reminding us of what's really important in life: Taking time for yourself and your loved ones. "The best times in life are the little moments when you feel that you are in the right place at the right time," is the Alpenhof motto.

At the 4-star superior hotel, you are always in the right place. This starts with the hut-style reception. Of course, the hotel has modern card keys, but there are still a few of the beautiful old key rings with the family crest hanging on the hooks. Tradition combined with modern comfort is how you could describe the style of the Alpenhof. This can also be seen in the Almbar, which has much of what is commonly understood by Bavarian coziness. The restaurant area is more elegant. Here you can enjoy the sumptuous breakfast buffet and the magnificent view outside. In the evening, there are various menus to choose from.

The comfort rooms are designed in a variety of ways, sometimes in a modern, sometimes in a classic country house style. The feel-good Sauna-Alm is really rustic, as the sauna area is reminiscent of cozy alpine huts and Stad'l. The infrared cabin made of Swiss stone pine provides gentle deep warmth, the steam bath is filled with wonderful brine and herbal mist and perhaps the best thing to do after a sauna session in the Hütt'n sauna with a view of the valley in winter is to rub yourself down with powder snow in the sheltered outdoor area. Afterwards, you can retreat to the relaxation rooms, which are designed like tunnels in a salt mine or old barns, where you can relax wonderfully. The adjoining wellness oasis offers an all-round pampering program. The various massages and treatments provide true wellness pleasure. In addition to classic massages, there are Far Eastern SPA massages, Ayurveda massages and special massages for expectant mothers. The cosmetics department uses the organic cosmetics line from Dr. Spiller, an effective skincare line from the region.

Next door in the indoor pool, you should definitely take a leisurely lap on your back and take a look at the hand-carved wooden ceiling. This ancient carpentry technique is no longer found very often. Small carvings on the pillars look very elegant - which is typical of the Alpenhof. Tradition meets modernity and rustic meets elegant. In the outdoor pool, hot meets cold, at least when it's winter and you can swim through the snow-covered landscape. The outdoor pool is heated to a pleasant 30°C all year round, as is the pleasantly warm 37°C whirlpool.

Afterwards, you can lie down in the sun pavilion, look out over the meadows and forests to the mountain peaks and relax. Here, unwinding becomes a tangible reality. And if you haven't had enough exercise while hiking, you're sure to find it in the fitness room with Techno-Gym equipment. Behind the Alpenhof is the Zapletal family. While Stefan Zapletal looks after the hotel with its 52 rooms, his wife Gabi, a trained chef, is in charge of the kitchen. But the most important thing for both of them is their staff. "We provide the frame, our employees paint the picture," says Stefan Zapletal, who is happy to have such a strong team. After all, guests should simply feel at home in this beautiful hotel in the midst of glorious nature.

Thanks to the privileged location of the Alpenstern in Damüls, you can set off directly from the hotel into the alpine nature paradise in summer. In winter, you can enjoy skiing in & skiing out at the highest level. 300 kilometers of hiking trails, over 100 kilometers of slopes, family hospitality and regional delights in various restaurants await you. Alpine interior, various sizes, individual rooms in modern design. The selection of rooms and spacious suites stands for maximum living comfort. The modern ambience, which reflects nature, makes it easy to relax and unwind. Fragrant wood, warm colors and natural materials create a pleasant atmosphere and pamper you with absolute well-being.

The wellness area promises regeneration and relaxation. An indoor pool and an outdoor infinity pool offer panoramic views of the picturesque Damüls mountains and provide refreshment. The relaxation rooms provide the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the impressive mountain views. The sauna world promises different temperatures, wonderful fragrances and absolute tranquillity. Juices, teas and healthy snacks are available at the vitamin bar for refreshment between sauna sessions.

The culinary delights at the 4* Superior Panoramahotel Alpenstern promise a full range of delights that are pleasing to the eye and delightful to the palate. The gourmet breakfast buffet offers specialties from the region. Sausage and cheese delicacies from local farmers, freshly prepared egg dishes, muesli, juices, fresh fruit and much more will spoil you in the morning. In the evening, experience the taste of the Bregenzerwald combined with creative dishes from all over the world with multi-course gourmet menus. Excellent wines accompany you through an evening of exclusive indulgence. As our guest, you can of course also dine à la carte in our panorama restaurant.

The Panoramahotel Alpenstern is the perfect place for your vacation in a top location.
Look forward to luxurious vacation days above the rooftops of Damüls.

A place of happiness to recharge your batteries and take a deep breath
In the middle of the historic ensemble of buildings, a feel-good world opens up for all those seeking relaxation and inner balance. In keeping with the landscape and the course of life, where everything is "in flux", the resort is designed to freely trace the flow of the Moselle. The spa concept sees change as an opportunity and aims to help people consciously let go, feel lightness, activate new life energy and open up to positive things. This comprehensive, creative idea runs like a red thread through the rooms and suites.

No (wellness) wishes remain unfulfilled in the impressive 2,500 square meter spa area. In the sauna world, a wide variety of saunas from Finnish to organic to infrared ensure well-being.

If you want to treat yourself to a nightcap in the evening after feasting in a sophisticated atmosphere and with lively conversation, then Betty's Bar is the place for you.

Cuisine & indulgence at the Klosterhof
Under the motto "Your mood defines your food", the Klosterhof offers its guests a multi-course gourmet menu for three different types of gourmet, which has absolutely nothing to do with the classic half-board cuisine from the standard hotel industry. The young and ambitious head chef Sascha Förster places particular emphasis on exciting dishes with influences from Michelin-starred cuisine.
The combination of health and indulgence is integrated into the dishes with ease. Both at breakfast, where a green wall tempts you to use fresh herbs, with healthy lunch bowls in the afternoon, and in the evening, where there is a purely plant-based "Kraut & Rüben" menu based on a vegan diet without industrial substitute products in addition to the creative and cosmopolitan "Chef's Choice" menu, the vital and regional "Bergwiese" menu.

The gourmet summit with Förster's personal, individual culinary signature takes place every Saturday: In anexclusive setting for just 12 people, the "Secret Forest - Fine Dining Experience" takes placein a secret location . Together with his kitchen team, Sascha Förster transforms the best products from the Alps and around the world into extravagant and unique gourmet creations. His dishes reveal many an extravagant combination that merge into a surprising symbiosis after the first bite. The Secret Forest Fine Dining Experience was awarded two golden forks by Falstaff after its first year and is a "must" for every gourmet.

"Enthusiasm for life" is the hotel's motto. In 2016, owners Henrike and Dr. med. Andreas Färber opened the Klosterhof as a unique relaxation oasis in the Berchtesgadener Land region with precisely this enthusiasm. Since then, this enthusiasm can be felt every day at the Klosterhof: among the owners, the staff and, above all, the guests. A house full of enthusiasm in the middle of the mountains: find peace, recharge your batteries and live enthusiasm!

To make your stay as pleasant as possible, we offer you light-flooded, new suites and apartments with a panoramic terrace or private garden with a fantastic view of the surroundings.
The 25 m long indoor and outdoor infinity pool with massage jets (heated all year round) gives you the feeling of swimming towards the forest. The sauna landscape, which is harmoniously integrated into nature, enchants with a unique forest sauna with daily infusions, panoramic relaxation room, natural pond, a Finnish herbal sauna, a sanarium, an original "Luis Trenker" infrared cabin and a family textile sauna. One of the special features of Bad Fallenbach is its own spring water, the most mineral-rich water in South Tyrol, as a welcome drink and for all wellness treatments.

We offer our guests a tailor-made vacation. Book our suites with half board or our apartments without meals, with a rich breakfast buffet or with half board including an exquisite multi-course evening menu, which you can enjoy in our new panoramic dining room.
