Hubertus in the Allgäu

The story begins with the father and his decision to move his family from Munich to Balderschwang via Oberstdorf—to make HIS DREAM of running his own restaurant a reality.

He isn’t making it easy on himself. For he has chosen an enclave: Balderschwang, 1,044 meters above sea level—isolated and cut off. And in 1951, it felt infinitely far from the rest of the world. A place of exile—for teachers and pastors.
No mountain pass, no road, no convenient connection to the valley. Surrounded on all sides by mountains. Above, the sky.
Karl Traubel Sr. is dreaming big—for a time.

"Just five years up here," he promises his wife. But things turn out differently. Because the HUBERTUS is captivating—from the very beginning —for guests and hosts alike. The Traubels invest everything—
—every mark, every minute, every breath. Not to mention their heart and soul. Those five years turn into a lifetime.
And the effort is worth it.

Winter guests who come to the HUBERTUS exclusively on their own skis keep coming back. Then more and more arrive. The new mountain pass attracts day-trippers, and the guest rooms draw summer vacationers. The HUBERTUS is growing, and life is flourishing.

Karl Jr. is 26, and Walter is four years younger when their father dies. Both are trained chefs and butchers, just like their father. The decision is made. Karl quits his job at the 5-star hotel in Arosa and returns home much sooner than planned. The second generation begins . And with it, a new direction. Bus tours become a major source of revenue.

And then, at the end of the 20th century: wellness.
Paving the way to the future. At first, there’s no sense of well-being—especially among bank advisors. No understanding, no loans. But then: a shaky vision, an idea, turns into a concept. And concrete numbers provide the key to success.

For 20 years now, HUBERTUS has been known for its high-quality and unique wellness andrelaxation treatments.
And not just in the Allgäu region.
