Hotels in Upper Bavaria, Germany

Upper Bavaria is a region in southern Germany, with the Alps to the south and a continental climate-summers average 70°F (21°C) for hiking in the Berchtesgaden National Park, while winters drop to 30°F (-1°C) perfect for skiing at Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It's famous for fairy-tale castles like Neuschwanstein, built by King Ludwig II in 1869, and lively beer gardens in Munich. In summer, you can swim in the clear waters of Lake Chiemsee, and in winter, explore the ice caves of the Zugspitze glacier.
