Genuine Hospitality Since 1972

Spitzingsee, a Historic Mountain Village

Spitzingsee's rich history unfolds at Arabella Alpenhotel. Established in 1720, the Alte Wurzhütte distilled Gentian schnapps and became a local icon. In 1890, skiing began here, while 1919 saw the Bockerlbahn built to clear storm-damaged trees. The iconic St. Bernard Church was inaugurated in 1937, and plans for a 1942 energy-generating dam were never realized. In 1950, the first chairlift and cable car opened, marking a new era. The 1970s brought significant expansion, including the Spitzingsee Hotel. Today, Spitzingsee boasts a modernized ski resort and a fascinating history, inviting you to be part of its legacy at Arabella Alpenhotel.

Summer Vacation in Bavaria

Spend your vacation at one of the highest mountain lakes in Germany. You can hear blooming alpine meadows, the gentle ringing of cowbells and the soft chattering of ducks up here at the end of the road, otherwise it's quiet up here in the mountains. In the evening you can enjoy the sunset, and, in the morning, you wake up and look out over the lake, where the last wisps of mist herald a wonderful summer's day.
