Holiday information

A winter holiday in Bavaria

for non-skiers
Steeped in culture and tradition, the picture-postcard village of Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden nestles alongside the Ramsauer Ache river in the heart of the Berchtesgaden National Park and is the archetypal Bavarian village. Here you’ll find fairy-tale landscapes and warm Bavarian hospitality in equal measure.

Given its natural beauty, the village has long been a magnet for writers and artists, yet outside Germany its awe-inspiring views and silent lakes remain a secret. This is partly what makes it such a special place to visit in winter, with its glorious scenery, this is a place for gentle strolls, rides in chair lifts to panoramic viewpoints, and boat trips across serene lakes.
At the Berghotel Rehlegg you’ll find a warm welcome from the Lichtmannegger family in whose hands this 4-star superior hotel has thrived for generations, morphing from family farm to gastronomic spa retreat. Situated in the village yet surrounded by meadows, the Rehlegg is a delightful blend of spa and village tavern where Bavarian charm and contemporary comfort combine to create a relaxed and friendly environment, topped off with excellent dining.

 

Our expert says

“What makes this holiday so special is that the National Park is right on your doorstep. It’s not unusual to spy a golden eagle soaring above your head. The mountain air will give you a healthy appetite and after a day exploring, the food at the hotel is simply sublime.”

Winter activities

There’s no fixed itinerary, so you can choose to do as much or as little as you like and explore this Bavarian idyll at your own pace.
  • Choice of routes
    High mountains, deep valleys and crystal-clear Alpine lakes define this charming, protected corner of Bavaria bordering Austria. The superb scenery attracts many walkers over the summer months, and a number of the same paths are accessible in winter, too. Several of these trails lead from Ramsau itself, while further options can be reached using the local bus service – free with your visitor’s card.

    In the detailed documentation we provide, we give an overview of our three favourite options, including the two following routes:

    Hintersee: 9.5km
    Starting from the centre of Ramsau, this lovely walk meanders alongside the River Ache and passes through an enchanted forest to reach picturesque Hintersee. Many artists and poets have found inspiration in the dramatic beauty of this lake, and reproductions of the most famous works can be found on easels that line the lake shores. Along the route, you’ll come across cosy wood-panelled Stuben (inns) where you can stop awhile – taste a local dish along with a cool Bavarian Weissbier (wheatbeer) or warm up with a decadent Zartbitter Heisse Schokolade – dark hot chocolate with whipped cream.

    Klausbachtal & Berchtesgaden National Park: 2km
    Ramsau sits on the edge of the Berchtesgaden National Park – one of the oldest protected areas in the Alps. We suggest taking the bus to Hintersee to enjoy a short walk through the trees and into the park, which is home to a number of wild animal feeding stations. Time your visit right and you could well be treated to the magical sight of wild red deer and chamois feeding in the forest! As this walk is short, it combines well with lunch at one of the restaurants or cafés surrounding Hintersee – we particularly recommend the Auzingerhof for its warm Bavarian hospitality and great cakes.
    Walk beside pretty Lake Hinter
  • Königssee & Berchtesgaden

    An idyllic lake
    Sparkling at the foot of its mountainous guardians, picturesque Königssee is an enjoyable day out and very much worth the trip. Sailing silently across the water on an electric boat is the best way to fully experience the exceptional, fjord-like scenery; this journey will take you past the beautiful church of St Bartholomä, whose onion dome reflected in the still water is the iconic image of the lake. If, in the depth of winter, the boats are unable to run, there is still the option to enjoy a beautiful walk along forested, lakeside paths to reach the Malerwindel viewpoint.

    A town of frescoed houses
    Renowned for its traditional wooden crafts, Berchtesgaden, with its frescoed buildings, shops and Marktplatz, is just a short bus ride away. From the town, look up to see the famous Eagle's Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), Hitler's mountain tea house (closed in winter), high on the summit of the Kehlstein mountain overlooking the town.

    Berchtesgaden's frescoed buildings
  • Mozart's city
    Ornate buildings, elegant squares and elaborate fountains – Salzburg is one of the finest Baroque cities north of the Alps, and it is just over an hour’s bus journey from Ramsau. We provide detailed, self-guided walking notes to help you get the most from your visit; these will lead you to the Residenzplatz – where you’ll find the magnificent cathedral, Bishop’s Palace and Glockenspiel, which rings its 35 bells several times daily – and to the childhood home of the city’s most famous son, one Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. We also recommend our favourite places to pause for Kaffee und Kuchen – such as the 300-year-old Café Tomaselli, a Viennese-style coffee house.

  • Snowshoeing & more

    Snowshoeing
    It’s a very special experience exploring silent, wintry landscapes where the only footprint in the snow is your own. Snowshoeing gives you access to such untouched areas, and is consequently a hugely rewarding activity. It is also very easy to master – it’s simply a case of getting used to walking in the broad snowshoes.

    Tobogganing
    For some fast-paced fun, ride the chair lift to Hochschwarzeck and enjoy the magnificent view from the top before zooming down the 2.3-kilometre toboggan run.

    Cross-country skiing
    Should you wish to try your hand at skiing, there are 30 kilometres of cross-country trails in the meadows above Ramsau and around nearby Schönau. Access to the trails is free of charge.

About Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden

Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden (altitude: 670m) is one of the most picturesque of all Bavarian villages and is situated in the heart of the Berchtesgaden National Park, where the Watzmann, Germany’s third-highest mountain, provides an impressive backdrop. It is Germany's first official 'mountaineering village', and it's said there are more mountain guides here than anywhere else in Germany. Passionate about preserving Alpine customs and traditions, this is storybook Bavaria.

The village’s strikingly picturesque parish church of Saint Sebastian graces many a postcard of Bavaria. Built in 1512, the Baroque, single onion-shaped tower topped with wooden tiles is typical of the region. Sitting alongside the river with a backdrop of the Reiteralp mountain, it has become the quintessential image of Bavaria. In the village centre you'll find a bank and ATM, a small well-equipped supermarket, a bakery, craft shops and a couple of cafés.

  • Choose a leisurely route on Austria’s NightJet sleeper train. Enjoy dinner on Amsterdam’s waterfront or in Cologne by the Rhine before boarding the sleeper, then wake to Bavarian landscapes. After changing at Rosenheim, watch views of the Chiemgau Alps unfold to the right-hand side of the train as you continue to Germany’s south-eastern corner, close to the Austrian border. Less than 2 hours after leaving the sleeper train, you step off the Berchtesgadener Railway for the transfer to your hotel.

    Loved the long walk up Toter Man. No snow except on the high peaks.

    Very good. Definitely will look to use you (and the Ramsau hotel) again 

  • M & S, Oxfordshire
    13 February 2024

    The hotel staff prefer to speak German, which is fair enough. Our German is rubbish, but they seemed to like it when we had a go.

    Unusually, Inntravel did not provide any useful walking maps in advance.  We found that hotel reception had some excellent free maps hidden behind their desk – be brave and ask them. We found that one of the paths, up the hill behind the hotel, is currently closed due to falling rocks.

    The hotel provides a handful of “Bio” teas for you to use in your room. If you like to wake up with a nice coffee in bed you will need to make your own arrangements. FYI, if you can’t scrounge some milk from the hotel, you can always buy a small bottle from the excellent village bakery, which is just beyond the tourist info office.

    In the bathroom, the hotel provides a small piece of hand soap, and a small piece of soap-on-a-rope for the shower. If you require any other toiletries (e.g. shampoo), you should probably bring them with you.

    To get the travel pass you need to ask reception to email you a link to a QR code.  Currently the buses cannot read the codes, so you need to show the code to the bus driver, who will issue you with a guest card ticket which is valid for that day. If you travel on another day, you will need to get another guest card ticket for that day using the same QR code. Watch out, the buses are significantly reduced during school holidays.

    As other people have said, the “canteen style” restaurant works well. The staff are very attentive, and the chefs skillfully produce an excellent choice of food including lots of traditional German fayre.

    A truly magical holiday in one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in! Doing the whole journey by train was exciting, at times quite challenging buy way more interesting and adventurous than flying! Ramsau is a beautiful village, with a glorious clear blue river running through it. We cannot fault Berghotel Rehlegg in any way. We LOVED our holiday!! Thankyou Inntravel.

    Amazing scenery on your doorstep. Fantastic service and food at the hotel and spa facilities very comprehensive. Brush up on your German before you go.

FAQs

If you have any questions relating to this or any other Inntravel holiday, our friendly travel experts will be happy to help. You might also find our General FAQs section helpful.
  • Living far from the capital ourselves, we know better than most that flying from London can be a bind, so we are very flexible with our travel arrangements. Call or email us, and one of the team will be happy to list the different options available to you, and any price implications.
  • Absolutely! We are experts in tailored rail travel. Making use of sleeper trains or stopovers in cities along the route, we can get you from London to virtually anywhere in mainland Europe. We can even make arrangements to Mallorca, Sicily and Norway with a combination of ferries and rail. Please contact us to discuss your plans.
  • Once you’ve decided on your exact itinerary (our travel experts will be happy to offer advice), you need to provide us with your party’s details, either by phone or via our booking form. At this point we also ask you to pay a deposit so that we can secure a room for you immediately on confirming availability with the hotel(s). If it turns out that we can’t secure the accommodation for the holiday you’ve requested, or offer an acceptable alternative, we’ll refund your deposit promptly and in full. After booking your accommodation and other key elements, we'll then book your travel (or you can do so if you’re making your own arrangements) and send you a Booking Confirmation and Invoice.

  • Yes, it’s something we insist on, even for holidays in the UK. The vast majority of holidays go smoothly, but when things go wrong, it can be expensive to put them right. Buying a new pair of walking boots after your suitcase is stolen mightn’t seem so bad, but the bill for being airlifted down from a mountain with a broken leg or flown home while still recovering from an illness or accident can incur a five or six-figure bill.

    Many insurers offer travel insurance (you can find details on our insurance page of a policy that you may like to consider if you are a UK resident), but you do need to make sure that you’re covered for medical emergencies – including falling ill with Covid-19 while on holiday – and repatriation. We also recommend that you are covered for other eventualities, such as cancellation and loss of luggage and passports.

    When you purchase a policy, be sure to check that it covers the activities you'll be doing on holiday and that it is adequate for your own individual needs.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of the correct travel documents, with the correct validity. If you’re a UK citizen, you need a full British passport to travel to Germany, but not a visa (please note, however, that a new travel authorisation system is being introduced). If you are a citizen of another country, you’ll need to check requirements with the national embassy or your own consulate.

    Current information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice for UK citizens can be found through the Travel Health Pro website. You must make sure you have adequate insurance cover for illness, accidents and repatriation (see the insurance question). You should also apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) if your EHIC has expired (if you have a still-valid EHIC, you can use this until it expires).
  • The official language is German. The currency is the Euro. German time is GMT/UTC + 1. It uses Daylight Saving Time, so in summer is on BST + 1.
  • For information on the practicalities of travel now that the UK is no longer part of the European Union, visit www.gov.uk/visit-eu-switzerland-norway-iceland-liechtenstein.
  • The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) provides up-to-date, country-by-country travel advice, as well as information on security, local laws, passports and visas for UK citizens.
