;
Am Rad 5; s €44-54, d €82-108)
Am-
bling distance from the town centre, this family-run gem provides almost unrivalled views
of the valley and the Alps beyond. The wood-rich cabin-style rooms are generously cut af-
fairs, with carved ceilings, niches and bedsteads all in fragrant pine. Take breakfast on the
suntrap terrace for a memorable start to the day.
HOTEL
Hotel-Pension Greti €€
( 975 297;
www.pension-greti.de
; Waldhauser Strasse 20; s €35-39, d €61-120)
Warm
and welcoming, and just a 15-minute walk from the Königssee, Greti's rooms are surpris-
ingly voguish and all have balconies. The cellar bar and small sauna are perfect for some
post-piste unwinding.
GUESTHOUSE
Hotel Bavaria €€
( 660 11;
www.hotelbavaria.net
; Sunklergässchen 11; r €50-130; )
In the same
family for over a century, this well-run hotel offers a romantic vision of Alpine life with
rooms bedecked in frilly curtains, canopied beds, heart-shaped mirrors and knotty wood
galore. Five of the pricier rooms have their own whirlpools. Breakfast is a gourmet affair,
with sparkling wine and both hot and cold delectables.
HOTEL
Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten €€
( 9520;
www.hotel-vierjahreszeiten-berchtesgaden.de
; Maximilianstrasse 20; s
€50-68, d €85-101; )
For a glimpse of Berchtesgaden's storied past, stay at this tra-
ditional in-town lodge where Bavarian royalty once entertained. Rooms are a bit long in
the tooth but the spectacular mountain views (only from south-facing, ergo more expens-
ive, rooms) more than compensate. Don't miss dinner in the atmospheric Hubertusstube
restaurant.
