Spiritual moments in the mountains

Unwind and reconnect

Vacation time gives you space to slow down—and to reconnect on a deeper level. The Berchtesgaden Alps, with their rugged peaks and secluded valleys, offer the perfect setting for truly special moments in the mountains.

Whether you want to feel close to God or simply want to experience the mountains in all their intensity, the Berchtesgaden mountains will move you—regardless of your denomination or faith—with their very own spiritual power. You’ll experience this most intensely at an open-air service high in the mountains.
