Winter Holiday in the Allgäu: Wellness & Mountain Views at Prinz-Luitpold-Bad
Your Winter Escape in the Mountains
Step out onto your balcony, breathe in the crisp winter air and take in the Allgäu mountains before you: this is how a holiday morning begins at Hotel Prinz-Luitpold-Bad.
Our historic, family-run hotel is situated at around 860 metres above sea level, overlooking Bad Oberdorf near Bad Hindelang. Every room has its own balcony with mountain views.

Why a Winter Holiday in the Allgäu Is So Special
Winter allows your holiday days to follow a different rhythm. Linger over breakfast until the sun rises above the mountains. Slip into your bathrobe in the early afternoon after a walk. Or spend an entire day at the hotel simply because it feels so comfortable. At Prinz-Luitpold-Bad, the landscape is always part of your stay. The mountain scenery accompanies you from your balcony to the restaurant, the pools and our relaxation areas.
When snow covers the slopes, the panorama becomes particularly peaceful. On clear days, you can see the contours of the mountains in remarkable detail.
And the shorter winter days make the hours indoors all the more enjoyable: time for a leisurely dinner, a conversation by the fireplace or finally reading the book you never seem to have time for at home.
Our Winter – Fresh Air and Time to Unwind
Little Escapes Just Outside the Hotel
Sometimes a short walk is all it takes to return with rosy cheeks and a fresh appetite. When path conditions allow, you can start your walk directly from the hotel. How far you go depends entirely on the weather, the daylight and how much you feel like exploring.
For longer excursions, the surrounding area offers opportunities for winter hiking, skiing, cross-country skiing and tobogganing. But there is no need to plan your entire stay around sporting activities. Spending the morning outside in the winter air and the afternoon in warm water can be every bit as enjoyable.
You will find our detailed recommendations for walking routes, winter sports and excursions on our Winter Activities page. At the hotel, we are also happy to help you choose an activity that suits your plans for the day.
Everything You Need for Relaxing Winter Days
- Personal recommendations for activities to suit your interests
- Excursion ideas and first-hand tips in our Allgäu blog
- Breakfast from 7:30 am for a leisurely start to the day
- A packed snack from the breakfast buffet for a small additional charge
- Drinking water for refilling your own bottle
- Mobil Pass Allgäu for free travel on participating local buses and trains

This leaves plenty of room for spontaneous decisions: another walk outside or straight to your favourite spot in the wellness area?
Our Ideas for Your Winter Day
- A leisurely morning: enjoy an unhurried breakfast followed by a short walk in the fresh air.
- Time together: explore the surrounding area before reserving the afternoon for the pool, sauna and relaxation.

Wellness on Cold Winter Days
You slip into the warm water while the crisp winter air lingers above the surface and the mountains stretch out before you. In our year-round heated infinity outdoor pool, this contrast is part of the winter experience at Prinz-Luitpold-Bad.
Indoors, our panoramic pool awaits you, filled with water from our own mineral spring. There is also an indoor whirlpool, five saunas and a variety of relaxation areas. Whether you swim a few lengths before breakfast or dedicate an entire afternoon to wellness, you can enjoy the day entirely at your own pace.
If you would like a massage or another treatment, we recommend booking your preferred appointment in advance. This way, the time reserved just for you becomes a firm part of your holiday.

A Special Hotel for Cosy Winter Days
When darkness falls early, the rooms and atmosphere of a hotel become all the more important. Prinz-Luitpold-Bad has a character all its own: Art Nouveau stained glass, antiques and historic lounges accompany you as you make your way through the hotel. In our fireside lounge, you can spend an evening without constantly checking the time.
The hotel was founded in 1864 beside a natural mineral spring. Today, it is run by the Gross family in the fourth generation. Each generation has continued to develop the hotel, while its connection to this special place and our pleasure in welcoming guests have remained unchanged.
In winter, this personal side of the hotel can be felt particularly in the small encounters throughout the day: a conversation over dinner, a recommendation for tomorrow's excursion or seeing a familiar face again. And then there are the mountain views, different every morning and visible from the private balcony of every room and suite.
Our Hotel Is Particularly Well Suited To
- Couples who want time for shared meals, excursions and wellness

When Winter Has Other Plans
Perhaps you imagined arriving to a landscape covered in white, only to find green meadows instead. Or perhaps the snow is falling so heavily that your planned excursion has to wait. A relaxing stay at Prinz-Luitpold-Bad does not depend on a particular weather forecast.
On milder days, suitable paths invite you to head out for a walk. When the weather is less inviting, there is simply more time to enjoy the hotel: a long breakfast, a swim in warm water, a treatment or an afternoon spent looking out of the window.
An excursion to one of the surrounding towns and villages can also add variety to your day. We are happy to help you find an activity that suits you. For specific winter tours and winter sports, however, current trail, snow and operating conditions should always be checked.
Enjoying Winter in the Allgäu
For us, a winter holiday also means taking time to enjoy good food. The aroma of coffee in the morning, a warming soup after a walk and sitting down together at a beautifully laid table in the evening: our ¾ board accompanies you throughout the day.
Over breakfast, you can take your time making plans. In the afternoon, soup, cake and a light snack await you – and you are very welcome to visit the Spa Café in your bathrobe. It is the perfect way to enjoy a break between sauna sessions or warm up after returning from an excursion
In the evening, your table is already reserved for you. Enjoy a multi-course dinner featuring regional influences, with plenty of time to talk and savour the moment. Afterwards, perhaps you will make your way to the fireside lounge before returning to your room.
