Alpenhotel Denninglehen

Frommer's Review

Set in a high alpine meadow 6km (3 2/3 miles) east of Berchtesgaden, at an altitude of 900m (2,950 ft.) above sea level (Berchtesgaden is 500m/1,640 ft. above sea level), this solid, traditional-looking mountain chalet was built in 1980. Ringed with snow in winter and grassy meadows and flower beds in summer, and within a short schuss from the ski slopes, it's a refreshingly rustic (albeit manicured) getaway for urbanites, with comfortable lodgings, clean air, and views that stretch for miles. Bedrooms are outfitted in either rustic, wood-sheathed contemporary style or more folkloric Bavarian and old-fashioned decor. The bathrooms will hardly dazzle. Although efficient and modernized, they are rather small with a toilet and shower (no tub).

Although lunch is not served here, the breakfast buffets are generous and the dinners (served daily 6:30-8:30pm) are flavorful, well prepared, and traditional, focusing on fresh produce and Continental, sometimes vaguely French, recipes, served by candlelight beneath heavy ceiling beams with views over the valley. Even if you're not a guest, consider a meal here, with main courses from 16€ to 22€ ($21-$29) and fixed-price dinners for 25€ ($33).
