About this property

Mountain Safari: Where Alpine peaks meet African adventure

Welcome to Mountain Safari—where two worlds merge in a unique way!
Discover our 222 m² safari-inspired mountain chalet, where every room tells its own adventure storey. The light-filled living spaces are adorned with our personal wildlife photographs from African safaris, creating a striking contrast to the spectacular views of the Zugspitze from your private balconies.

Our extraordinary retreat spans 3 floors and offers:
- A spacious living area with panoramic mountain views and African-inspired design

- 5 stylishly furnished rooms, 3 of which feature luxurious bathrooms
- Several balconies with breathtaking views of the Wetterstein Massif

The Experience
Just as a safari lodge serves as a base camp for wildlife adventures, Mountain Safari is your starting point for alpine exploration tours. Start your day with a cup of coffee on the balcony and watch as the morning light illuminates the Zugspitze—almost like an African sunrise over the Serengeti. After a day of hiking, skiing, or exploring (hiking maps included!), your cosy retreat awaits, where African hospitality meets Bavarian charm.

Your hosts
We are Katie (American) and Fabian (German), and together with our son Noah, we’ve created a place that combines our love for the majestic Bavarian Alps and the wild beauty of African safaris. Our honeymoon in Africa forged a lasting connection to this fascinating continent, which we’ve woven into this mountain retreat through authentic wildlife photographs from our travels.

As a German-American family that loves both mountain adventures and African safaris, we’ve combined our passions into something truly unique. Our son Noah is growing up immersed in both cultures and with a deep appreciation for the wonders of nature—whether on the savanna or in the Alps. We look forward to sharing this special blend of cultures and experiences with you!

Join us where African adventure meets Alpine excellence—a truly unique mountain hideaway just waiting to become part of your storey!
