THE HUBERTUS BLOG

Weißwurst breakfast with my daughter Lenia on Sundays, sunsets on the Spicherhalde, and many special ENCOUNTERS with our guests:

These are just a few of the MOMENTS that define my workweek and make being a host at HUBERTUS so unique.

In my new blog post, I’ll share what a week as a host at HUBERTUS is really like and the STORIES that unfold among the mountains, the hotel, and the team.

From a small mountain inn to one of the most renowned wellness hotels in the Alps:
This year, the HUBERTUS looks back on 75 years filled with passion, vision, and unforgettable MOMENTS.

We’re celebrating this special anniversary with a unique ANNIVERSARY WEEK FROM JULY 26 TO AUGUST 2, 2026, which combines tradition and modernity in an unforgettable way.

CELEBRATE WITH US!

The most valuable conversations often arise between panoramic views and moments of reflection.

Marc Traubel met with renowned journalist Andrea Labonte for an inspiring conversation about intentional time-outs, true regeneration, and the question of why peace and quiet have become a true luxury today.
And about a new way of traveling that isn’t about higher, faster, farther, but about genuine CONNECTION: with nature, with other people, and above all, with oneself.

Be sure to read this impressive interview!

Every day, nature reveals its incredible beauty to us. In every way.
From delicate and elegant, to strong and powerful, to versatile and multifaceted.

We can and should harness all of nature’s immense potential.
So that it can unfold all its beauty within us as well.

This is precisely where our aesthetic skin treatments come in.

Soothing heat. Meets invigorating cold. Creating an interplay that energizes body and mind.
Welcome to the HUBERTUS Sauna World.

A place where warmth soothes. And silence becomes a luxury.
At the same time, it rejuvenates. And strengthens.

In this interview, our sauna master Chris shares valuable tips and suggestions for an enriching sauna experience.

A ZEST FOR LIFE:
That is our guiding principle at HUBERTUS.
Those who love life open themselves up to its wonders—to those small, magical moments that enrich every day. A key to this is the “beginner’s mind”—a concept from Zen Buddhism.
It invites us to see the world again and again as if everything were completely new. This awakens the joy of wonder, and our soul can breathe a sigh of relief.

Year after year, a new trend takes the wellness market by storm. From increasingly sophisticated cosmetic products to exotic yoga practices and high-tech wellness chairs—the promise of beauty, health, and well-being seems limitless. But right now, a new megatrend is gaining momentum:
Longevity—the art of living a healthy life for longer.

Thoughts on this from Karl Traubel.

Anyone who travels to the Allgäu mountains is looking for more than just a break.
The new podcast episode “Lieblingsreisen” explores exactly what that “something more” is at HUBERTUS.

In an interview with Tom Sundermann, Marc Traubel offers insights into what lies behind the HolisticLife concept, the philosophy we live by, and what drives Marc.

Just give it a listen and let yourself be inspired!

COOLCATION isn’t just about escaping the city heat for the pleasantly cool mountains.
It’s about relaxing there and enjoying the summer.
COOLCATION also means treating yourself to a whole new, cool drink.

As a sundowner, aperitif, or digestif. Or a nightcap:
The ultimate
HUBERTUS Gin is a winner.
With unique ingredients!

Not a podcast. Just thoughts that pop into my head. That keep me up at night.
And then get put down in writing.

The new blog series:
KARLS FLOTTE FEDER.

This time on the topic:
On inner and outer reflection.

The Allgäu region invites you to experience world-class skiing.

Whether in small, cozy ski resorts right on your doorstep.

Or for endless skiing fun in Oberstdorf and the Kleinwalsertal.

Skiing at its best.
Just a stone’s throw from the HUBERTUS.

Yoga clearly brings out a greater zest for life. And so it’s only logical that yoga is an integral part of our holistic program for our guests.
Whether through our daily yoga sessions or our monthly yoga retreats.

Read here about what drives our passion.

FENG SHUI teaches the art of directing the energy in a room so that it flows smoothly, gently, and harmoniously, circulating evenly throughout all areas of the home. At the same time, it increases the CHI ENERGY in the home, helping you feel more at ease, relax more deeply, and find the energy to pursue new ideas and plans.

Embark on a FENG SHUI DISCOVERY JOURNEY through the HUBERTUS to recharge your energy and strength.

“Mindfulness is heartfulness”—and Jon Kabat-Zinn isn’t the only one who says so. In our retreat with Yeshe Brost, a leading expert in MBSR and yoga, we’ll take an in-depth look at the quality of warmth that is inherent in mindfulness itself.
Here’s an exclusive interview with her about the retreat.

Upcycling is right in step with the times. Because upcycling means one thing above all else: being seen as a contribution to the conservation of resources, nature, and the CLIMATE.

All of our Mountain Nest rooms have undergone an upcycling-inspired makeover.
And they’re now available for booking in their new look.

Through simple mindfulness exercises, relaxing meditations, and soothing yoga sequences, we’ll learn during these mindfulness days to center ourselves and become more aware of who we are and our automatic behavior patterns.

For many years, our center’s motto has been “A Passion for Life”—in a holistic, comprehensive, and sustainable way. To fill the many facets of life with love, connection, mindfulness, sustainability, and awareness, we’ve developed numerous retreats.

Primarily, women participate in these retreats. But since, fortunately, everything is changing, we’ve noticed that more and more men have been opening up to our offerings lately...

When is something—or someone—old, worn out, or replaceable?

I ask myself this question again and again when I read some (few) guest reviews that describe the HUBERTUS as “old.”

When the hustle and bustle of the pre-Christmas season comes to an end. And everything slowly becomes calm and peaceful. Then the Christmas spirit is truly in the air...

Ring in the New Year at a magical place—with plenty of energy and enthusiasm. That’s what everyone wants.
The HUBERTUS is just such a magical place—a place of power—nestled in the heart of the Allgäu Mountains.

Meditation is playing an increasingly important role in our crisis-ridden lives today. No matter which form you choose:
Meditation is, on the one hand, a source of strength and, on the other, a way to find oneself.
Read the fascinating interview with Florian Palzinsky, who will be leading a meditation retreat with us in August.

Waffles… Deliciously moist and sweet. Or savory and spicy. Homemade waffles are a real treat.
And our HUBERTUS waffles have always been THE hidden gem at the breakfast buffet.

But not made with flour and water. Instead, the slightly healthier way: with rolled oats.

The secret to these fluffy waffles lies in the preparation. Here, we’ll share our special “waffle recipe” with you…

Cycling is our passion. All over the world. But especially in our home region, the Allgäu.
That’s why we take our guests along on exploration tours, summit tours, dream tours, favorite tours...
And to get you started, we’ve got our bike trailer...

Leading. And being led.
People and nature. Past, present, and future.

Topics that move us and keep us moving forward.
In a place of bliss.

As the days grow colder, you start to see them again: die-hard water lovers who willingly plunge into the freezing waters of lakes, streams, or rivers in winter temperatures.
But what exactly is the truth behind the new health craze known as “ice bathing”?

Here’s Karl Traubel’s first-hand account from our NaturBadeSee ...

When the wheel of the year comes to a standstill, the time has come to turn inward.

The past seeks to connect with the present and the future.

Join us on a unique spiritual journey.
Into the realm of the soul.

We’re all going through challenging times right now. And we don’t yet know exactly where the path will lead us.
But one thing is certain:
Nature is the best way to find ourselves.
To ground ourselves.
And to recharge.
Especially here with us.
At HUBERTUS.

Our peaks fascinate. They inspire. And they cast a magical spell.
That’s why we offer our “Summit Climbers” tours once a week, where we show you our absolute favorite peaks.

Reflections on the "5th Season" in the Allgäu. Viehscheid in Balderschwang.

In times of a skilled labor shortage, employer appeal and corporate culture play a particularly important role. It takes that certain something to inspire loyal and self-motivated employees.

A short podcast series on topics that are particularly important to us.
Christa and Marc Traubel in conversation with the wellness hotels.

Sustainability. Respect for our environment, nature, and our planet is the order of the day.

The HUBERTUS is a hotel whose history is built on generations of family tradition.
Accordingly, the word "family" is essential to us.
And wellness and children.
Are not a contradiction.

You're welcome. And thank you.
Every day.
For good water.
Because water isn't something to take for granted.
It's a luxury.
