Werdenfelserei
Alpine luxury boutique. Think natural wood, muted tones, serious attention to detail, and a personal, family-run atmosphere — not corporate-polished. Comfortable and genuinely upmarket without trying too hard.

Why It Matters
Germany's first certified 'Vollholzhotel' (solid wood hotel). Every room carries the scent of Swiss stone pine, some suites have private saunas and fireplaces, and the rooftop pool faces the Wetterstein mountain range. The hotel has won a Michelin Key, a KAYAK Travel Award (2023), and a loyal following of repeat guests who book suites with fireplaces in winter.
Bavaria's first solid wood hotel, opened in 2018 by the Erhardt family — a family with roots in Partenkirchen going back to the 17th century. The whole building is built from solid timber and it shows: Swiss pine scents the air in every corridor, the design is warm and considered without being stuffy. It sits right on the edge of the Michael Ende Kurpark, about a five-minute walk from the centre of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Chalet Suite
From EUR380 / nightSpread across two floors with an open exposed roof truss that makes the space feel almost cathedral-like. Private sauna, plenty of light, long views. It is the suite for people who want space and drama in equal measure.
Feuer Suite (Fire Suite)
From EUR291 / night60 square metres with a king-size bed facing a wood-burning fireplace, a freestanding bathtub, rain shower, and a balcony overlooking the Michael Ende Kurpark. A separate second bedroom adds flexibility for extra guests. This is the one to book in winter.
60 sqmGarden Studio S
From EUR169 / nightDirect garden access and mountain views. Also available as a fully wheelchair-accessible barrier-free studio. The garden-level position makes it feel connected to the outdoors in a way that upper floors don't.
Spa Suite
From EUR325 / nightBest for groups or families of two to four. Two bedrooms, a private sauna that overlooks the spa gardens, and a balcony where you can hear the Mühlbach stream below. Genuinely good for longer stays.
Studio L
From EUR192 / nightThe largest of the studios at 33m². Enough room to actually spread out, which is not always guaranteed in boutique Alpine hotels. Good option for those who want something between a suite and a standard room.
33 sqmStudio M
From EUR179 / nightThe family pick. Views of the Kramer, Königsstand, and St. Martin's Hut from the window. Designed to comfortably sleep two adults and two children. Not enormous, but well configured.
Studio S
From EUR174 / nightThe entry-level room, but not an afterthought. Views face either the Zugspitze or the Michael Ende Kurpark depending on floor and position. Swiss pine throughout, extra-long beds, minibar. Compact but complete.
Top Suite
From EUR444 / nightThe crown of the house, up on the 4th floor. Private rooftop terrace, private sauna, and a hot tub. The king-size bed faces a large panoramic window so you wake up looking directly at the mountains. Hard to beat for sheer theatre.
