We are happy to answer your questions via email at welcome@chaletzugspitze.de
How can I book Chalet Zugspitze?
You can send an inquiry through this website or even book directly. Chalet Zugspitze can also be booked via the portal of the municipality of Grainau or leading online travel agencies e.g. Booking.com
What are the advantages of booking directly on this website?
We are particularly pleased about guests who book directly with us, as fees for services of the online travel agencies are incurred for us and partly for the guests.
Guests who book directly on this website enjoy the wellness area at no additional cost (value approx. € 200).
Can I book Chalet Zugspitze and additionally the Lodge or Garden Apartment?
The Chalet Zugspitze consists of a ground floor (garden apartment) and an attic (lodge apartment), which are separated from each other by a door. Therefore either Chalet Zugspitze as a whole or the apartments can be booked at the same time. Prices for Chalet Zugspitze are a little cheaper than the sum of the individual prices for the garden and lodge apartment.
How many people can live in Chalet Zugspitze or in the garden and lodge apartment?
Lodge apartment (top floor of Chalet Zugspitze,> 100sqm): Maximum occupancy - 4 adults and 2 children. The apartment has a master bedroom with an attached bunk bed for 2 children. There is also a sofa bed in the living room.
Garden apartment (ground floor of Chalet Zugspitze,> 100sqm): Maximum occupancy - 6 adults and 3 children. The apartment has 3 bedrooms, each with a cot.
Chalet Zugspitze (entire house,> 200sqm): Maximum occupancy - 8 adults and 5 children. The maximum occupancy for the entire house is slightly lower than the sum of the apartments, because the spacious living room in the attic should remain usable for all guests.
When can the chalet or the apartments be accessed or by when must the departure take place?
The chalet or the apartments can be used from 4:00 p.m. on the day of arrival. Ideally, you should move in between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Please let us know your expected arrival time on the day of arrival.
Please vacate the chalet or the apartments by 10:00 a.m. on the day of departure so that the house or the apartments can be prepared for the next guests.
Can the spa area be booked exclusively?
If you have booked the entire holiday home Chalet Zugspitze, you are entitled to the exclusive use of the spa area. If you have booked one of the apartments and the spa area (or directly on this website), then you can use the spa area. However, guests from the other apartment may also have the right to use the spa area.
Are towels for the spa area included?
Towels for the spa area are provided on loan. We also provide essences for infusions. Please only use them according to the instructions for use in order to avoid irritation from overdosing. Please bring your own bathrobe and slippers.
Which hygiene measures can we trust in?
We change the water for the whirlpool after every guest change. The sauna and the facilities in the house are thoroughly cleaned by a professional cleaning team. The bed linen is washed and disinfected externally by a company.
