A must for aficionados
If you like cycling you will absolutely love cycling in this breathtaking surrounding. It will make for your perfect activity holiday.
Our landscape is a true mountain bike eldorado with endless tours from easy to demanding… take your pick: go round the mountains, up the mountains, into valleys, up to alpine huts for a delicious snack, or take the train or bus to even further destinations.
For all you very ambitious cyclists we suggest contacting the local mountaineering school „Bergschule Maier“ who will provide you with profound information, guides, rental bikes, and tips on the hardware.
Activity with a little comfort – try out our e-bikes!
Delightful cycling along rippling brooks, into remote valleys or to the neighbouring lakes Thiersee or Schliersee including a stop at the enchanting open air Wasmeier Museum are just a few suggestions we can make. Even the cycling route along the River Inn is a tempting option – easily mangageable by taking the car there. The Tannerhof has two rental e-bikes.

Our favourite hikes, climbs and peaks
We spent our childhood hiking these mountains, we see them every day when we look out of the window, and we feel very attached to them. That’s why we’d like to introduce them to you – maybe you will also have found your favourite peak by the time your holiday ends - reason enough to be back again.
Local hero: The Wendelstein
The municipal coat of arms carries this magnificent peak, it shows on ever so many photographs and in every local guide book. Widely known as it is we can do without an elaborate explanation.
Kleiner Traithen, descent into the Ursprung Valley
Starting point: Tannerhof
Peak altitude: 1723m
Challenge: medium
Duration: Up and down approx. 7h
Why do we love it?
Because it rises just behind the Tannerhof, and really feels like „ours“. Last not least because the descent into the Ursprung Valley leads you to the beautiful and picturesque Fellalm – a farmed mountain hut where you can enjoy typical produces from the alp.
Wildalpjoch
Starting point: Tannerhof
Peak altitude: 1720m
Challenge: medium
Duration: Up and down approx. 6h
Why do we love it?
Neighbouring the Wendelstein it offers a great view onto its big brother without being as crowded. Breathtaking views of the Großvenediger, Großglockner and the Wilder Kaiser ranges. Just as delightful are the close sights of gentian meadows in Summer, and a pretty descent via alpine huts.
Seeberg – Circular trail via Niederhoferalm and the village of Geitau
Starting point: Tannerhof
Peak altitude: 1523m
Challenge: easy
Duration: Up and down approx. 5h
Why do we love it?
Directly opposite the Tannerhof this peak is always in direct view. The sun hides behind it in Winter, and peeps out again beginning of March – this is a delightful moment for us every year. The hike leads us up past the idyllic Neuhüttn and beautiful meadows full of alpine flowers. Up on the peak you can wave down at the Tannerhof or across at the Wendelstein. The descent via the Niederhoferalm, a charming farmed alpine hut, will have you gasping at the sublime Miesing. Following the Leitzach river back to Bayrischzell you can look up at where you have been earlier this day.
Auerspitz
Starting point: Ursprung Valley, Sillberghaus Parking
Peak altitude: 1810m
Challenge: easy / medium
Duration: Up and down approx. 5,5h
Why do we love it?
Because it is never crowded, and because the sunny path above the Wirtsalm offers a gorgeous view of the Sonnwendjoch massif and all surrounding peaks. You will be peacefully walking in mere solitude while observing the crowds on the neighbouring Rotwand. The descent will lead you past the pastoral Soin alp huts. It couldn’t be better!

Splendid Winter
When nature dresses in white
Spend your holidays in one of Bavaria‘s most beautiful natural theatres.
It really is a winter wonderland! A thick, perfectly white blanket of snow coats the landscape, and at no other time of the year is it more tranquil. Experiencing nature in winter is especially intense and diverse.
You can reach the valley station of the Sudelfeld ski resort on foot in about 10 minutes. There, one of Germany‘s very last single chair lifts will take you to the beautifully open and varied ski area also ideal for families. The ride up will probably be a discovery of slowness, allowing you to inhale the surrounding winter beauty. Up on the Sudelfeld all goes at a higher pace with modern chairlifts. After all your whizzing down the slopes, the last ski descent oft he day will take you back down to the valley station, and a short walk will see you close to the tempting sauna. If slow is not an option, then just hop on the ski bus.
Just to make clear all the comforts of the Tannerhof: in only 300 metres you can enter the cross country ski trail and follow over 100 kilometres of perfectly laid tracks. While gliding effortlessly through the winter landscape you might gasp at all its beauty when skiing into secluded valleys, past icy formations of a frozen creek, through silent woods or across snow fields which look as if someone had scattered a bucketful of diamonds across them. Bayrischzell is an eldorado for cross country skiing, and you will find all the help you can ask for from excellent ski schools, if you wish to learn it.
Your children want to learn how to ski? The training slope for the little ones is on the doorstep: The Tannerfeld also has tubing tyres – just in case skiing isn’t fun after all.
How about going sledging? Apart from the Tannerfeld slope, we suggest you choose the classic and go on a winter walk up to one of the alpine huts. There, grab a sled, and off you go… Mariandlalm or Firstalm are really fun.
The Wendelstein ski slopes may be a special treat for skilled skiers according to snow conditions.
Or you might want to try out the Spitzing ski resort for a change? It’s only 15 minutes away.
Ski touring is very popular. The Rotwand region is a classic for all enthusiasts, but also the ski resorts offer special touring routes or evenings.
Or try snowshoeing with one of the guided tours, or just start off from the Tannerhof on your own path.
Ice skating is possible on the surrounding lakes – a beautifully old-fashioned experience. There is also a small ice rink in Bayrischzell.
Mountain Summer
Discover all the mountains, peaks, pastures and lakes!
This Summer feeling so specific to the mountains! The fragrant morning air, birdsong, and the sun rising from behind a peak! Which of the five neighbouring mountains would you fancy climbing this morning while passing pastures spread with flowers, rippling brooks and rustic huts? Just start walking. Prefer a lazy morning on the hotel grounds instead? Well, then you could always join our hiking guides on two afternoons of the week. Or why don’t you try out Nordic Walking? Climbing is possible around the peaks of Ruchenköpfe – with or without a guide from our local mountaineering schools.
What else is there to do? Here’s our list:
- Mountainbiking: There are several tours around our favourite mountains, and even into the neighbouring Inn or Tegernsee valleys .
- Why use a swimming pool if you can go swimming in one of the gorgeous lakes. Schliersee and Thiersee are both close by. Or take the challenge of a dip into the deep blue Soinsee beneath the Ruchenköpfe peaks. Our have you ever taken a plunge into th ice cold pothole of a mountain creek?
- In direct view from the Tannerhof terrace the so-called Vogelsang is the launch pad for paragliders. You may find mere watching isn’t enough: then why not have a go at a tandem flight?
- If swimming in the lakes isn’t an option, there is a sweet old fashioned outdoor pool in the village of Bayrischzell.
- A walk along the airfield in Geitau allows great views of the gliders. You may want to book a flight.
- Or take the cable car up the Wendelstein, and enter the cave which is hidden in its peak. Or go on a discovery tour around the Geopark.
- There are four tennis courts in Bayrischzell, also horseback riding is possible in Osterhofen, 3km from the Tannerhof. Play Golf? You will find three courses in about 30km distance.
On the other hand staying at the Tannerhof is just as attractive. Imagine sitting on the terrace enjoying our famous breakfast in the cool hours of the day. Then you might want to doze off under a tree or finally get to read a book and watch our tireless Indian Runner Ducks. Take a little walk across the grounds up to the majestic lime tree – try standing in the midst of its five stems and take a look up, you will feel this trees‘ power. Or watch our highland cattle and Iceland horses while swinging on its lower branch. Whilst you’re up here you might as well cool off in the rock basin.
Refreshed as you now feel, you might want to have a go at the slackline, or play a game of crocket or badminton…
Rainy weather? Who cares. Grab a book, sit at the window front in the Orangerie reading, or just watch the rain fall – relax and enjoy lazing around. Anyhow, if you can’t sit still there’s always our pilates, yoga or Tai Chi you can join, the workout studio, the swimming pool or the sauna.
