Welcome home
A  Bavarian winter wonderland journey around the Chiemgau, Upper Bavaria

The Chiemgau situated in the Alps has been rich in minerals. Originally, it was a great source of wood, iron and salt back in time. From 1619 to 1912 the production of salt was the major factor of the economic growth and success of the region. Moreover, did it have a tremendous influence on its beauty, landscape, naturalness. It is our home, our region – kind of a magic treasure trove for connoiseurs.
Experience the white winter symphony in this lovely countryside – only 60 minutes away from the bustling, lifestyle-oriented Bavarian capital of Munich.
