The "Hotel Franks" in picturesque Oberstdorf combines the best of both worlds: an active vacation in the Allgäu Alps and intense relaxation in a true feel-good venue. Crisp mountain air is especially valued here: Oberstdorf has been a climatic health resort since 1937 and has held a "Premium Class" rating since 2002. Consistently covered in snow from December onwards, you can take a deep breath and recharge your batteries here – this is what Oberstdorf strives for, as does "Franks", Germany's southernmost five-star hotel. It is no coincidence that the hosts encourage you to spend "time with friends" and grant guests a sense of singular comfort amid the surrounding winter wonderland. Surrounded by 400 peaks, the mountains call from practically every direction; and if you'd rather stay in, the hotel has a versatile, spacious wellness area that brings the best of the alps indoors.

Stretching over 3,000 square meters, the spa offers everything your heart desires. From the "TalSpa", take the lift to the highest point of the hotel. In keeping with the image of nature, the "GipfelSpa" is dominated by mountain rock – and water, of course. Two onsen pools are enthroned in the open air on the elegant gallery, allowing you an unprecedented connection to the alps as you relax in the warm waters. The bio sauna, steam bath and panoramic sauna, as well as the luxurious daybeds and floating loungers, are evidence of Franks' good taste and a keen sense for the needs of guests. The new "GipfelSpa" is open until 8 pm and for adults only.
