A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because no one does mountain resorts quite like Germany and this is the form at its fullest — a family's century of additions, each one a reason to stay another day, on a sunny slope of the Allgäu.
- At Ofterschwang in the Allgäu, above the Illertal; independent house.
- A four-season escape of alpine quiet, contemporary luxury and wellness; the Sonnenalp Wellness World; rooms from singles to private lodges and chalets; restaurants from a hearty breakfast to several fine-dining tables; golf, tennis, riding and every winter sport.
- Two MICHELIN Keys in the 2025 selection; holds four-star standing.
