→ What makes our biohotel special:
- Certification and transparency
100 % Bio is not an aspiration for us; it is a prerequisite. Our certification stands for full transparency and for us taking every step consciously and in a way that is understandable. In this way, we build trust – honestly and transparently. - BIO HOTELS member since 2008
Since 2008, we have been a leading sustainable hotel chain. As the first certified organic hotel in the Zugspitze region, we stand for responsibility, transparency, and values – day after day. And with full conviction. - Fresh from our own farm
Our organic cows and mountain sheep from Murnau-Werdenfelz live in an ethical way on lush meadows – in summer right outside the organic hotel. Naturland certified and 100 % % traceable. As a guest with us, you know where the meat comes from. - Energy from nature
Around 95% of the % heating energy comes from renewable sources: Our wood chip heating system, partly using wood from our own forestry, and 30 MWh of solar power make our organic hotel self-sufficient in terms of energy. - Ancient wisdom meets modern health
Moorbaths and Hildegardian medicine form the basis of our health concept for body and soul. Newly interpreted and not dogmatic. - Moor restoration
The restoration of this moor is a very important component for us as a biohotel. This means that it is managed in harmony with nature and that everything we extract is returned 100 percent to the natural cycle. - Nature as a place of peace
Right from the window, the view opens out onto the mountains and the vast landscape, allowing the body and mind to breathe deeply. A true place of power in the heart of the Ammergau Alps – with all the possibilities right from the doorstep. - Tradition & Family
Sustainability passed down through generations. From the grandparents’ farm to the organic hotel: Our history is deeply rooted in the Bavarian soil. And that has been the case for over 100 years. With humility before nature, we preserve what has made us strong – and share it with our guests. - Less is more
More conscious living comfort in a clear, minimalist design. Carefully selected and high-quality natural materials ensure a healthy and comfortable experience at our Biohotel.

Questions and answers
What is a biohotel?
An organic hotel is a hotel that provides its guests with mostly or entirely organic food and operates in an ecologically sustainable way. The term is not legally protected. An organic hotel is therefore reliable primarily when it is certified and regularly inspected by an independent organic control body.
–> Our organic hotel is certified under the BIO HOTELS membership program by the independent testing agency ABCERT.
What distinguishes an organic hotel from a normal hotel?
An organic hotel bases its entire operation on ecological principles. The most important difference lies in the kitchen: predominantly food from controlled organic farming is used, preferably seasonally and locally. Genetically modified organisms, synthetic additives and flavor enhancers are deliberately avoided.
But even outside the dining room, organic hotels differ from traditional houses in ways such as:
– Natural materials
– Renewable energy & efficient heating and energy systems as well as measures to save water and energy
– Environmentally friendly care and cleaning
– Targeted waste avoidance
– Regional value creation
Important to knowThe term „Biohotel” is not legally protected. Guidance is provided by certifications and membership in associations, for example membership in BIO HOTELS, which sets out fixed criteria, or organic certification of the kitchen in accordance with the EU organic regulation.
How do you recognize a certified organic hotel?
Since the term „Biohotel” is not legally protected, it is worth taking a closer look: Serious establishments openly display their certifications, such as membership in an association with fixed criteria such as BIO HOTELS, an organic certification of the kitchen according to the EU Eco-Regulation, or sustainability seals such as the EU Ecolabel.
BIO HOTELS is particularly clear in this regard, as the brand has been protected as a guarantee brand since 2023 and requires its members to adhere to 100% % certified organic quality in the kitchen, exclusively using organic electricity and certified natural cosmetics. In general, a credible organic hotel clearly mentions the organic content in food and beverages, relies on certified natural cosmetics, and provides transparent information about organic electricity and resource conservation.
It is also crucial that the criteria are regularly checked by independent bodies and are not based solely on self-declarations. Vague formulations such as „natural” or „environmentally friendly” without supporting evidence are a warning sign. In case of doubt, a look at the website of the seal or association provider is helpful.
What criteria must a certified organic hotel meet?
Compliance with the organic standards is regularly verified by independent organic control bodies such as ABCERT.
The standards of the BIO HOTELS association include 100 % certified organic food and beverages, certified organic and natural cosmetics, and 100 percent renewable % energy.
The entire supply chain is being examined, including by matching the purchase of organic raw materials with organic sales. In a hotel, this is simply stated: Do the organic goods purchased match what is indicated as organic and served?
Who is a Biohotel holiday suitable for?
An organic holiday is suitable for anyone who values conscious enjoyment, nature, and sustainability and who wants to recover healthily, relaxedly, and with a good conscience during their vacation.
Guests who also eat organic food in their daily lives or value organic quality are particularly welcome at the hotel, as are people with allergies or intolerances who prioritize natural materials, natural cosmetics, and transparent cooking. Couples seeking a quiet break, families with children who want to experience nature and lead a healthy lifestyle, wellness and active holidaymakers, as well as guests who consciously support local producers and want to reduce their ecological footprint, all feel right at home at the Bio-Hotel.
And anyone who has not previously had any contact with organic food is welcome: enjoyment comes first, and no prior knowledge or abstinence is necessary.
