The Original and the best Christmas Markets

Every year in the sleepy mountain village of Bad Hindelang in the Bavarian Allgau, just a short drive from our Alpine Lodge the Carnegie Alpenrose, they hold the most beautiful Christmas Market.

With over 200,000 Christmas lights strung through the narrow streets of the town the event is probably the most Christmassy thing you have ever seen!

The event is opened with a magical Fairytale Christmas parade of Angels, Elves, Snow Queens, and many more - You will be transported into an enchanting, snowy winter wonderland.
Wander the maze of streets lined with delicious food stalls with a warming mug of Glühwein (mulled wine). The aromas of the Christmassy spices from the numerous stalls are hard to resist.


From beautiful handmade decorations to the perfect gift for your loved ones there are stalls throughout the market that will spark your imagination and get you in the mood for the festive season ahead.
There is something for everyone here; from Nativity plays and various workshops for the children to romantic walks and fireside drinks with your loved one.

This includes half board accommodation a continental breakfast buffet, packed lunch, and a four course evening meal.

Escape the heat wave

With a Met Office heat wave warning out for the UK, what better time than right now to plan a get away from all the stickiness to the fresh, crisp air and open spaces of the mountains!

If you can’t open enough windows in the office and you are fed up of breathing in the recycled air from the air conditioning unit in the corner, then what you need is some of Europe’s cleanest air combined with the superb Alpine climate of the Bavarian mountains.
Our Alpine lodge is nestled into the foothills at a fresh 934m’s above sea level. From here you can access the mountains directly from the front door. Just 45 minutes of uphill from here is your nearest summit where you will be greeted with stunning views, peace and quiet (except for the tinkle of distant cowbells) and as many breaths of clear crispy fresh air as you can take!


This part of the Alps has an amazing amount of sunshine throughout the year. A gentle breeze carries the scent of the Alpine forests with it and the many local festivals and traditional Bavarian ceremonies (Lederhosen und alles) will keep you fully entertained.

Our Adventurous Training Centre offers you the chance to experience the mountains via Klettersteigs and Rock climbing where you may even venture into the lingering snow on the higher summits. Alternatively you can chill out on the beautiful river Iller that winds its way through the valley floor, in the shadow of the mountains. Stop on the riverbank for a Bavarian picnic and take a dip to reward yourself for being clever enough to get out of the heat wave!

We also offer a huge variety of other Adventure activities that can be booked in advance or you can simply enjoy the chance to rest, relax and enjoy the mountains around you at your own pace.
Please visit our website for more details on the area, activities and accommodation.

This summer we are offering rooms from €30 a night for B&B. Please contact us on jo@my-peakpotential.com or call us on +49(0)8321 788 48 54 for availability.
See you in the mountains
