Whenever I'm in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, I make a point of heading up to the restaurant at Hotel Das Graseck—it's become one of my favorite rituals. The adventure starts with that charming ride on the Graseck cable car, which glides up through the trees and gives you those first amazing glimpses of the mountains. But what I love even more is descending on foot through the paths that lead down to the Partnachklamm —it's such a scenic way to arrive or leave, walking those trails along the river with the dramatic gorge views, wooden bridges, and tunnels. It's a perfect little hike that makes the whole trip feel special before you even sit down. Once you're there, the place is so elegant and welcoming, with stunning panoramic views over the Alps and the valley that make every meal feel like a treat. The food is always delicious and beautifully prepared—I've had some really standout dishes, and it's run by a talented Portuguese chef who brings a nice touch of creativity to the regional ingredients. The service is top-notch too; the staff are attentive without being over the top, always making sure everything's just right. Whether it's lunch on the terrace with that incredible outlook or a longer dinner, it's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. I always look forward to it on every trip to Garmisch—definitely worth the short ride up (or the lovely walk down via the gorge paths)!

Incredible and unique setting, which unfolds upon arrival as you take the cable car from the valley below, above the Aqua-blue alpine river, across the treetops and then finally you see the hotel nestled in the trees at the edge of an alpine meadow plateau. It’s a unique location, being a modern hotel amongst classic alpine barns and farmhouses, with the soothing background sound of cowbells chiming in from the hills. Our room had a massive terrace with views to the big peaks to the south, and a massive walk in shower we which found every excuse to use! The rooftop infinity pool at the level of the treetops was like nothing I’ve experienced before. Hotel staff were all incredibly warm and helpful, both at the restaurant which serves up fantastic food, and at reception, where they helped me pick out a hiking route up to Kreujberg, and booked me a taxi back to the train station upon departure. If you want a hotel where every room including your bedroom feels like a spa, fresh mountain air, seclusion and panoramic views then this is a go to hotel. In mid October the colours of the forest were amazing too.

Excellent staff who were always courteous and helpful; excellent dining in a lovely dining room amidst a serene alpine setting. Rooms had gorgeous views although ours had none which was disappointing. Spa with pools and saunas was very European. We did not partake in the medical wellness center but it’s something to consider. The brief gondola ride was smooth and easy to operate. Very peaceful and beautiful holiday!
