Being a child at Hotel Oberstdorf means lots of fun

If we were children again…

What would our managers in Oberstdorf love to experience again as children? Discover 8 genuine childhood joys for your family vacation in the Allgäu region.

Pool at the Hotel Oberstdorf, time with the family, swimming break

Was macht Familienurlaub wirklich schön? Nicht der perfekte Plan. Sondern diese kleinen großen Momente, von denen Kinder noch Wochen später erzählen. Deshalb haben wir im Hotel Oberstdorf nachgefragt: Was würden Sie in Oberstdorf sofort noch einmal als Kind erleben?

Die Antworten sind so bunt wie ein Ferientag im Allgäu: Murmeltiere beobachten, Steine sammeln, Pancakes essen, kopfüber in den Naturbadesee springen und abends Marshmallows grillen.

Niklas (10), today Executive Assistant

Set off early in the morning, when the air is still fresh and everything smells of adventure. With luck, you can spot marmots around the Fidererpasshütte. A real "Shhh, look up ahead!" experience.

Restaurant manager Claudius is a passionate road cyclist and knows the best routes around Oberstdorf.

A little bit of exercise, a little bit of competition, lots of laughter: Frisbee golf is the perfect family outing for anyone who wants to be outdoors without having to plan a big mountain tour.

Carlos's enthusiasm for good food and creative cuisine is reflected in every move he makes.

Sometimes all it takes is water, courage, and a really good jump. Our natural bathing lake is one of those places in summer where children don't spend much time asking, "What do we do now?"

Reception Manager Dirk – The Experience Specialist

Water, paths, mountains, and always something to discover: The Burmi Water Trail at Kanzelwand is ideal for families who want to combine exercise and play. Perfect for little explorers.

Wellness manager Vicky – queen of the high-performing hiking muscles

Vicky (12), today head of the Alpine Wellness World

First, hop on your bike and head to the pump track in Oberstdorf. Then get creative at the hotel and craft some tree slices. A perfect day out that begins outdoors and ends with a handmade souvenir.

Technical Director Robert – technically savvy summer enthusiast

Robert (8), today a building technician

There are children's activities that need no instruction. Collecting stones is one of them. Along the Trettach river, they become little works of art, cairns, and stories that only children can see.

Housekeeper Carmen – guardian of the relaxing “let your soul unwind” feeling

Carmen (7), today a housekeeper

Eating pancakes every day – with a different topping. Of course. Because a holiday is when you already know at breakfast: Today is going to be good.

First a round of mini-golf in Oberstdorf, then back to the hotel and roasting marshmallows after dinner. Sometimes that's all you need for a perfect day on vacation.

Guests at Hotel Oberstdorf don't have to go far to jump into a cool lake. The 360 m² natural bathing lake is located directly in the hotel's garden.

Finally, plenty of time to cuddle with Mom and Dad again. And afterwards, it's off to the new playroom at the Hotel Oberstdorf.

The double rooms in the Allgäu Style Superior hotel in Oberstdorf feature mountain views and a balcony.

Ferien, die nach Wiederkommen schmecken

Am Ende sind es nicht die perfekten Pläne, die bleiben. Es sind die nassen Haare nach dem Badesee. Der erste gesichtete Murmeltiermoment. Der Pancake mit zu viel Topping. Das Marshmallow am Abend.

Genau dafür ist Familienurlaub da.
