Lakes. Crystal clear. And tingling fresh. The water that awaits you in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and its surroundings. But that should be no surprise: It all comes straight from the mountains. Dive in and immerse yourself – the ultimate way to cool off.

Alpine streams and lakes. These, too, can be found in the natural surroundings of Staudacherhof. So, you don’t need to lace up your hiking boots every day here. There are those days, when bathing trunks and a bikini are a better choice! A cool tip for hot days: The picturesque mountain lakes. Choose your favourite from a large selection: Pflegersee, Riessersee, Geroldsee, Eibsee, just to name a few. Each of incredible beauty. There are also natural swimming pools and other outdoor pools that beckon to an unforgettable day of sunbathing, swimming, playing and relaxing. With conveniences like a snack bar, WC, changing rooms and lounges. Plus charm. And some with a long tradition. Like the Kainzenbad natural pool built way back in 1928. An awesome view of the alpine world above the valley can be enjoyed from all the pools. And then there’s the tingling fresh water. What splendid refreshment! Especially on a hot day or after an invigorating walk, hike or bike ride!

After swimming: Lay back and let the alpine sun rays dry and warm your skin. Or take a well-deserved nap. In the shade, of course. Under old trees that have survived many a harsh winter and storm. By the way: Some of the mountain lakes provide more than cool refreshment. Pflegersee lake, for example. The water of this small, clean bog lake is considered an insider tip. It is known to make your skin and hair magically soft and smooth. And even when the sun and the temperatures aren’t that warm: You can still enjoy some aquatic fun! Thankfully, there is also the Alpspitz Wellenbad with gigantic waves on the hour every hour! And a tube water slide, speed slide, laned pool, diving pool and even an outdoor hot tub. Not to mention a fantastic sauna. So the perfect place for a good time for both young and old!
