Relaxation in Bayrischzell: What sets the Tannerhof apart

The essentials at a glance

• The Tannerhof is not a classic spa hotel, but a quiet health resort with therapeutic rigor and in-house doctors.
• The award-winning BadeHarpfe combines wooden architecture, which is proven to lower the pulse, with a 25-meter-long, naturally purified outdoor pool.

• Modern approaches to calming the nervous system have been practiced here for generations in the form of genuine time-outs in nature.

What wellness really means here

Those seeking relaxation in the Bavarian Alps quickly encounter playful settings of polished marble, tightly scheduled sauna sessions, and noisy infinity pools. We have chosen a different path: here, alpine seclusion, nature-oriented architecture, and medical substance combine to create a quiet form of recharging. For some guests, this means medically supervised fasting in our therapeutic fasting programs, while for many others, it means carefree enjoyment through our 3/4-board concept. With this culinary approach, we treat you to regional slow food from our certified organic kitchen. Whether it's a fasting cure or a wellness stay: at the Tannerhof, we are not about staging or fleeting distraction, but about truly arriving at yourself in an environment that lets you breathe.

As a family-run nature hotel and health resort, we see ourselves in the best sense as a unique kind of spa resort. For our guests, this primarily means no loud entertainment or tightly packed schedules. Those expecting event-style sauna infusions, party music by the pool, or flashy spa effects will be happier elsewhere. Those who seek spaciousness, relaxed hospitality, and honest deceleration will discover their personal hideaway in the mountains at the Tannerhof. Here, health & wellness regain their original meaning: deep regeneration for body and mind.

• Substance over scenery: No staged wellness worlds, just minimalist architecture and natural surroundings.
• Silence as an inner state: No artificial background noise, just space to breathe and pause.
• Medical support: Recovery with therapeutic rigor, backed by scientifically sound concepts.
• Exclusivity for house guests: No public foot traffic, just undisturbed privacy on 16 hectares of land.

BadeHarpfe, natural pool, and sauna cabin

The bathing and sauna area on our 16-hectare property blends organically into the Upper Bavarian landscape like a small mountain village. The architectural centerpiece of the area is the BadeHarpfe, a modern interpretation of traditional alpine hay-drying racks. The airy structure made of solid wood houses a spacious panoramic sauna, light-filled relaxation rooms, and a fitness area. Directly in front of it lies the 25-meter-long, naturally purified outdoor natural pool, which offers a biologically filtered swimming experience without chlorine.

Scientific studies confirm that this clear construction style using local wood is not only aesthetically appealing but also calms the autonomic nervous system: in classrooms made of solid wood, a lower heart rate, higher heart-protective vagal tone, and lower subjective stress levels were measured. While the BadeHarpfe houses the Finnish panoramic sauna, the historic sauna cabin from 1936 complements the offering: it is crafted from fragrant Kelo wood and combines a Finnish sauna with a mild bio-sauna. The covered indoor pool also allows for year-round swimming with an unobstructed view of the Wendelstein.

Treatments backed by time and medicine

A key unique selling point of our health philosophy is the close integration of relaxation and medical support. While traditional wellness hotels often schedule treatments in tight succession, every treatment on the slopes of Bayrischzell is characterized by mindfulness, therapeutic rigor, and a deep professional foundation. Treatments are not viewed as isolated cosmetic services, but as effective stimuli to support the body's own self-regulation.

Our medical team and experienced therapists tailor every treatment session to the individual. Our in-house therapy catalog includes over 50 individual treatments: from deep-acting massages such as acidosis or honey massage to ozone autohemotherapy, vitamin infusions, and interval hypoxic-hyperoxic training (IHHT), as well as individual art therapy. In practical terms, this means treatments with a tangible therapeutic background—far removed from esoteric concepts—that provide profound relief for body and mind. Rest periods following treatments are not just recommended; they are firmly scheduled.

• Medical expertise: Holistic consultation and support from our in-house medical team, including modern procedures such as interval hypoxic-hyperoxic training (IHHT) and ozone autohemotherapy.
• Therapeutic variety: A broad catalog of over 50 treatments, ranging from classic and connective tissue-activating massages to fascia treatments and art therapy.
• Time for integration: Ample rest periods as an integral part of treatment success, ensuring that treatments have the optimal effect.

Peace and all-inclusive

The pool area, saunas, and spacious relaxation rooms are reserved exclusively for overnight guests. This retreat provides a sanctuary of silence where guests can move freely without encountering crowded loungers or day visitors. For over 120 years, our house has stood for this conscious protection of personal space.

Another fundamental structural difference lies in our transparent pricing: use of the entire spa—including the BadeHarpfe, saunas, pools, and fitness rooms—as well as our varied activity program with daily classes such as yoga, Pilates, aqua fitness, or guided hikes, is fully included in the room rate. This concept is complemented by a conscious digital detox: in our detached Hüttentürme and Lufthütten, there is intentionally no Wi-Fi or LAN, and no televisions are provided in the rooms as standard. This clears the space for what truly matters. Check-in is from 3:00 PM, and check-out is by 11:00 AM.

Treat yourself to a breather in the Bavarian mountains and experience genuine regeneration far from the noise of everyday life. Learn more about Spa & Wellness at the Tannerhof and plan your next retreat in nature.
