Explore Berchtesgaden
and Its Surroundings
Berchtesgaden captivates visitors all year round with its unique combination of nature, outdoor activities and culture. In summer, hikes to alpine huts, mountain lakes and scenic peaks await, along with varied mountain bike trails and alpine climbing tours around the Watzmann. Highlights such as Lake Königssee with its famous boat trip, the Jennerbahn cable car with spectacular views, the Eagle’s Nest, and the impressive Wimbach and Almbach gorges make every stay unforgettable. The natural beauty is complemented by cultural attractions including the historic town centre, Berchtesgaden Palace and the Documentation Center Obersalzberg.
In winter, the Berchtesgadener Land transforms into a charming Alpine idyll. Skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing are just as popular as tobogganing, snowshoe hikes and romantic winter walks. Snow-covered landscapes, traditional Christmas markets and the peaceful atmosphere of the colder months lend the region a truly magical charm.
