THE SCHLOSS ELMAU VALLEY EXPERIENCE Experience the healing power of pristine nature and the soothing sounds of silent forests and rushing streams in the Elmau Valley, an impossibly peaceful sanctuary, high in the Alps, just a short drive from Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Indulge in a feeling of peace and belonging in an inimitable Luxury Spa Retreat & Cultural Hideaway featuring two 5 star hotels. Enjoy the positive energy and genuine hospitality of a young and enthusiastic team in urban lounges with open fire places and in casual fine dining restaurants with outstanding cuisine, one of them being awarded four red toques in the Gault Millau and two Michelin Stars. Regenerate in six gorgeous spas offering a sense of calm and serenity for adults as well as families. Relax with your kids in one of the Family Spas, cozy lounges and concerts and let them roam free and make new friends in the kids club or creative club. And at the heart of it all, find inspiration in our phenomenal bookstore and a unique tradition offering, for more than a century now, a full season of book presentations, political debates, and Classical Music and Jazz in concerts and festivals with the great artists of our time.
