Family holidays to Germany

Relax in Ruhpolding

Our holidays to Germany are centred around the Bavarian town of Ruhpolding, near the Austrian border. This place is your quintessential Bavarian hamlet – think pretty half-timbered houses, pint-pulling beerhalls and screensaver-worthy mountain backdrops. The town’s nestled in the countryside, too, where crystal-clear lakes and rolling meadows are just a few of the landscapes you can add to your photo album.

Massive Munich and stylish Salzburg

If you’re in the mood for some sightseeing, Ruhpolding puts you within reach of two of the region’s biggest cities – Salzburg and Munich. To reach the former, you have to cross the border into Austria – the journey takes about 45 minutes. During a daytrip, you can learn about the city’s most famous son, Mozart, and explore a handful of huge palaces. Munich, meanwhile, is a 90-minute drive away, and is regarded as one Europe’s greatest beer-brewing cities.

Lounge around a lake in Berchtesgaden

If you’d prefer something quieter, the town of Berchtesgaden’s just the ticket. It boasts a prime location near some of Bavaria’s postcard-worthy lakes. Lake Konigssee, for example, is the biggest of its kind in the area, and is a 10-minute drive from Berchtesgaden’s town centre. Here, kicking back on the tree-lined shores, swimming in the jade-green water and exploring the area during a chilled-out cruise top the to-do list.

Hotels in Germany

Our hotels in Germany are rooted in Ruhpolding, a laidback Bavarian town that puts you within range of lakes, mountains and some of the region’s big names, including Munich, Salzburg and Berchtesgaden.
