The five-star resort Sonnenalp in the Allgäu – much more than a hotel.

Blooming alpine meadows, crystal-clear lakes, roaring waterfalls, a series of imposing mountains, as well as the mystical and beautiful Tiefenberger Moor, form the magnificent backdrop of Ofterschwang in the Allgäu. A legend in German hotel history and a stunning vantage point amidst the picturesque nature, Sonnenalp has been so for over 100 years. The excursion restaurant opened in 1919 by Eleonore and Adolf Fässler on their former farm is now considered the epitome of a five-star luxury resort and enchants with a blend of grandeur and a relaxed lifestyle.

Located just 2.5 hours by car from Zurich, this magnificent five-star resort, nestled in the heart of alpine nature, has been family-run for four generations and consistently sets the standards in terms of spa, golf, and leisure activities. The infrastructure of the 218-room resort and the four Alpine chalets is in a league of its own, with offerings ranging from a Michelin-starred restaurant to its own equestrian centre, a total of 20,000 square metres of indoor and outdoor water and wellness facilities, and a 42-hole world-class golf course. The ‘Sonnenalp’ philosophy is characterized by clear values and a strong sense of emotionality and family spirit. Following a tri-level process of evaluating, reducing and neutralizing its CO2 emissions, the Sonnenalp Resort hast been recognized as a climate-neutral resort in 2019.
