Alpenhotel Denninglehen

Description:

• Set in a high alpine meadow 6km (3 2/3 miles) east of Berchtesgaden, at an altitude of 900m (2,950 ft.) above sea level (Berchtesgaden is 500m/1,640 ft. above sea level), this solid, traditional-looking mountain chalet was built in 1980. Ringed with snow in winter and grassy meadows and flower beds in summer, and within a short schuss from the ski slopes, it's a refreshingly rustic (albeit manicured) getaway for urbanites, with comfortable lodgings, clean air, and views that stretch for miles. Bedrooms are outfitted in either rustic, wood-sheathed contemporary style or more folkloric Bavarian and old-fashioned decor. The bathrooms will hardly dazzle. Although efficient and modernized, they are rather small with a toilet and shower (no tub).
