It’s a beautiful walk to the center city but in a much quieter location. Only negative is lack of air conditioning but I must say, you get used to not having one fairly quickly

Great place to stay in Andermatt. We were in walking distance to everything. My kids loved the sofa bed. It was huge ! We were greeted by the manager who waited for us since we were stuck in traffic. Only downside was the train station which you could hear if you are a light sleeper.

Black Forest Holiday Packages

Escape to a forested area famed for its luxurious cakes, spectacular scenery and old-world towns that preserve traditional German culture.

Discover Germany’s romantic and mysterious side in the Black Forest, an area with cultural traditions and alluring mythology. This is the land of Grimm’s fairy tales, healing thermal springs and rich food. The beauty of its picturesque medieval towns is matched by the amazing scenery of its forested hills.

Journey between the different towns of the Black Forest. The university town of FreiburgOpens in a new window is the home of the Freiburger MünsterOpens in a new window, a spectacular 12th-century cathedral. Here, you’ll also find the Augustiner Museum which traces art history from the Middle Ages onward. Baden-BadenOpens in a new window is a destination known for its luxurious spas and glamorous casinos, while the town of Triberg im SchwarzwaldOpens in a new window is associated with cuckoo clocks and waterfalls.

Stop for food in one of these towns and make sure you try the famous Black Forest gateau, an indulgent chocolate cake covered in cherries and cream. Shop for cuckoo clocks, one of the most famous exports from the Black Forest.

Head out into the mountains for skiing or hiking, depending on the time of year. Trek or take a cable car to the summit of the Feldberg, the highest peak in the region, for spectacular views of the tree-covered landscape.

Reach the Black Forest by flying into one of the nearby airports at cities such as StuttgartOpens in a new window and BaselOpens in a new window or take a train to any of the area’s major towns. Cars are probably the most convenient way of getting around the region, which can be explored in a few days. Hop on a double-decker train for a relaxing journey through breathtaking vistas of the woodland.

The Black Forest offers attractions in every season, so you can visit at any time of year. Winter brings skiing in the mountains and Christmas markets in the towns. The peak season, from July to August, provides sun and an annual music festival. Come in spring and fall, when the weather is milder, the colours are more vivid and fewer tourists crowd the region.
