Your gateway to the Berchtesgaden valley

The gateway to the Berchtesgaden valley welcomes you with a mountain backdrop you won’t forget—crowned by the unmistakable silhouette of the Watzmann. With its rolling green hills, Bischofswiesen invites you to slow down on scenic hikes and bike rides.

Love the mountains? Find peace in the Lattengebirge—or take on a true challenge at Untersberg. Families can dive into a world of imagination along the fairytale trail, splash around at the natural swimming area Aschauerweiher, or explore the adventure playground. Here, you experience unspoiled nature, a diverse landscape, and a vibrant cultural life shaped by traditional celebrations and authentic local customs.

Into winter sports? You’re in the right place. Carve your turns at the Götschen ski and snowboard center or glide along the trails at the Aschauerweiher cross-country center—more than 16 kilometers of perfectly groomed trails await, for both classic and skating styles.

Summer or winter, the stunning presence of the Watzmann is always with you—welcoming you to your mountain escape.
