Hotels in Upper Bavaria, Germany

Upper Bavaria is in southern Germany, just north of the Alps, with a climate that brings snowy winters perfect for skiing at Garmisch-Partenkirchen and warm summers ideal for hiking around Lake Chiemsee. It's famous for the fairy-tale Neuschwanstein Castle and the annual Oktoberfest in Munich, where you can join millions for beer and Bavarian music. In winter, the Bavarian Alps offer slopes at Zugspitze (Germany's highest peak), while summer lets you swim in the clear waters of the Königssee or cycle through the green foothills.
