BergBuddies, Oberjoch, Bad Hindelang

• The Alps, your way: Traditional alpine living gets a modern makeover at BergBuddies, nestled amid Bavaria’s beautiful Allgäu Alps. A ‘Smart Mountain Hotel’ designed for maximum comfort and flexibility, this hip hideaway blends hotel perks with a chic home-from-home vibe, for a refreshed take on alpine hospitality. Airy rooms and apartments feature everything you need for a smooth stay, while in the sleek lounge area you can plan your adventures, mingle with other travellers, or even cook up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen.

• Hearty alpine eats: Follow the scent of homemade bread and pastries down to breakfast each morning, where scrumptious Allgäu specialties await. Expect locally-sourced cold cuts, eggs your way from the region’s own chickens, and fresh seasonal fruit and veg - the perfect way to fuel up for long days out in the mountains. And when the weather is fine, you can even enjoy it out on the terrace, for a picture-perfect meal both on and off the plate.

• Switch off: Sweet simplicity and back-to-nature bliss are the order of the day here, where the fresh mountain air will lull you into total tranquillity. Soak up the sun on the panoramic terrace, or hit the innovative Sauna Cube to blow off steam with views of the mountains. Can’t get enough? There’s also an open-air hot tub to bubble away in, and guests can also reserve a pampering session at the nearby Panorama Hotel, whose 3,000-square-metre spa features a tempting treatment menu.
