Wellness camping at the Zugspitze
For us, wellness doesn't begin in the sauna area.
It begins outdoors. With cool air on your face. With a walk along the Hammersbach stream. With a day at Lake Eibsee or in the snow around Grainau.
Then it gets warm.
This combination is precisely what makes wellness camping at the Zugspitze so special in autumn and winter. You're out exploring the outdoors and then find a peaceful place to relax in the Zugspitzblick area of our Camping Resort Zugspitze .
The facilities include a Finnish sauna made of reclaimed wood, a bio sauna, an infrared sauna, and a relaxation area. Massages and beauty treatments can also be booked at the Alpine Beauty Spa.
Camping with sauna in Grainau
Our sauna and fitness area is located directly in the 5-star Zugspitzblick area.
The campsites and accommodations are all within easy walking distance. You decide when a sauna session fits into your holiday.
Finnish old wood sauna
Our Finnish sauna made of reclaimed wood reaches around 90 degrees Celsius. The intense heat is particularly pleasant after an active day in the Grainau mountains.
bio sauna
The bio sauna is heated to around 60 degrees Celsius. Its gentler heat is suitable for those who prefer a more relaxed sauna experience.
infrared sauna
The infrared sauna uses gentle radiant heat that acts directly on the muscles. It provides pleasant relaxation, especially after hikes, days of skiing, or other sporting activities, without high temperatures.
In the relaxation area, you can let your sauna session wind down in a relaxed atmosphere.
Camping with a sauna becomes a natural addition to your day with us. First, be out and about. Then enjoy the warmth and relax.
Why wellness feels so good after a day outdoors
On cool days, warmth takes on a whole new meaning.
After a walk through Grainau, a stroll along the Hammersbach stream, or a winter day in the Zugspitze region , a visit to the sauna is particularly beneficial.
The cold air stays outside. The muscles warm up. The body slowly comes to rest.
This is precisely the strength of wellness camping in Bavaria . Nature and relaxation are not separate entities; they belong together.
You don't need a fixed daily schedule for that. Sometimes a short walk outside followed by time in the sauna is enough.

Camping in Bavaria in autumn
In autumn, Grainau presents a particularly peaceful side.
The forests around the Wetterstein Mountains are turning vibrant colors. The air is becoming clearer. The first snow may already be present on the higher peaks.
For camping in Bavaria in autumn, walks along the Hammersbach stream, tours through the Loisach valley or a trip to the Eibsee lake are suitable.
On sunny days you'll be outside for a long time. In cooler weather, the walk might be a bit shorter. Afterwards, the sauna awaits.
It is precisely this change that makes autumn particularly pleasant for us.
Winter camping at the Zugspitze
In winter, the day often begins in the snow.
You can go skiing , cross-country skiing , winter hiking , or explore the snowy landscape around Grainau on the Zugspitze.
After returning, we go to the wellness area.
The Finnish sauna provides intense heat. The bio sauna is a gentler alternative. In the infrared sauna, you can specifically relax your muscles.
Winter camping at the Zugspitze combines exercise, mountain air and relaxation.
You don't have to travel far again for dinner. The Schmölzer Wirt restaurant is located right in the resort.
