Hotels in Ammergau Alps, Germany

The Ammergau Alps lie in southern Germany, between Munich and the Austrian border, with a continental climate featuring cold winters (around 23°F/-5°C in January) and mild summers (about 68°F/20°C in July). This region is famous for the Oberammergau Passion Play, a 1634 vow reenacted every ten years, and for its intricate woodcarving tradition that lines the village streets with painted frescoes. In winter, you can cross-country ski on the 80 kilometers of trails around the Ammer River, while summer invites you to hike the 10-mile pilgrimage route to the Wies Church or tour Linderhof Palace, the only completed royal castle of Ludwig II.
