Hiking

Schloss Elmau offers an unsurpassed variety of mountain hiking opportunities for all abilities in the Wetterstein, Karwendel, Soiern, Ester and Ammer mountains. The most beautiful tours lead directly from the hotel to King Ludwig's fantastic Schachenhaus at 1800 m in the Wetterstein mountains and through the Partnachklamm, one of the most spectacular gorges in the Alps.

From the end of May to the end of October, tours with experienced mountain guides usually take place on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, depending on the weather. Four Tours are offered from Monday through Thursday during special Hiking Weeks and Retreats. You can also book a private mountain guide at any time.
