Active Vacations in the Mountains at the Hotel HUBERTUS in Balderschwang
GETTING HERE
The fastest way to the Allgäu

balderschwang in the allgäu

Calm. That moves you.

Balderschwang is home to the HUBERTUS Mountain Refugio Allgäu. At 1,044 meters above sea level lies Germany’s highest—and at the same time smallest—independent municipality. A high valley that used to be accessible only from Austria. Even today, the hustle and bustle of everyday life, negative stress, and external pressures are still kept at bay here. Instead, you’ll find idyllic Alpine landscapes with traditional cheese dairies, secluded trails, charming paths, and thoughtfully laid-out hiking and cross-country ski trails where people can walk, cross-country ski, or bike up and down the mountains and through the valleys to reconnect with themselves.
The process of slowing down begins even on the way here—whether you’re coming from the German side via the Riedberg Pass or through the Bregenz Forest in Vorarlberg, Austria.
