Berchtesgaden

The Pearl

Take part in the festival of nature with its impressions! The lake and mountain scenery surrounding you – the Königssee, Watzmann and Ramsauer Kirche – may well create a sense of déjà vu – they are subjects that decorate calendars and postcards and are familiar around the world. And that is not all: the magnificent Alpine National Park Berchtesgaden was established in 1978. The beauty of the mountains and the fact that the neighbouring Mozart city of Salzburg is within touching distance have together created a unique holiday symbiosis of nature, sport and arts. Berchtesgaden is known for the historic sights in the town, the salt mines, Kehlstein House or the royal palace. This is also the place to experience living tradition and fascinating customs, these arre never more alive than here at the foot of the watzmann. In winter the small but choice skiing areas offer the best the sport has to offer in terms of fun for young and old: floodlit skiing for example at Rofssfeld or.

Soft mobility connections

If only everything in life could be so simple! The railway station is right at the centre of town (with S-line train connection for Salzburg), and the buses take you from here to virtually every possible place to stay. The „Watzmann Express“ links Salzburg and Berchtesgaden with a direct bus line.

Soft mobility in the pearl

Perfect public transport services! What makes your stay in the fantastic area around the Watzmann an especially calm and environmentally-friendly holiday experience is the concept behind the tourist card “Kurkarte”, which at the same time is also the bus ticket for the whole Berchtesgaden and Königssee region. Guests can use all RVO bus lines for free! Even the close-by city of Salzburg can be reached economically using this ticket.

Special soft mobility services

Mobility without limits – sit back and relax! Electric boats will take you to the St. Bartholomä Peninsula; a bus will take you to the Kehlstein House, high above the roofs of Berchtesgaden. Explore the entire region around Berchtesgaden with the RVO one week rover ticket. The new local railway line Salzburg-Berchtesgaden-Bad Reichenhall has brought the entire region much closer together. Ride up the Alpine pastures of the Klausbachtal with the hiker and holiday experience bus – the only bus line in the Berchtesgaden National park.
