General presentation
Ammergau Alps
Alpine region of painted villages, castles, abbeys, gorges and mountains between Oberammergau and Füssen.
To understand what the Ammersgau Alps are, look at Oberammergau, Linderhof and Ettal Abbey. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by mountain reliefs, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: very touristic sites and mountain weather. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
World Heritage
Église de Wies
The church of Wies, laid in the Bavarian meadows, hides behind its sober exterior a rococo interior with great lightness. White stuccos, gilding, frescoes and soft light create a striking contrast with the surrounding rural landscape, particularly interesting for those who love baroque sanctuaries without heavy urban surroundings.
Remarkable location
Murnau am Staffelsee
Murnau am Staffelsee looks at the Bavarian Alps from the banks and hills of the Staffelsee. The town also evokes the painters of the Blaue Reiter, attracted by its colours, marshes and mountain silhouettes; it lends itself well to a stage between swimming, museums and easy walks.
Remarkable location
Bad Kohlgrub
Bad Kohlgrub is a spa resort in the Alps of Ammergau, known for its peat baths and views of the Bavarian reliefs. The village serves as a peaceful starting point for the paths to the Hörnle, with an atmosphere more oriented towards rest, gentle hiking and health stays.
Place
Oberammergau
Oberammergau is recognizable by its painted facades, its wood carving workshops and the mountains of the Alps of Ammergau that frame the village. The frescoes tell religious or popular scenes about the houses, while the quiet streets keep the very present memory of the Passion played here for centuries.
