28th October - 4th November 2012 (HALF TERM)

The Berchtesgadener Land is a region of spectacular natural beauty: majestic mountains, crystal clear lakes and the unspoiled nature reserve of the Alpine National Park are yours to enjoy. It is also an area that boasts world-famous sights such as the mysterious world of the salt mine, the 'Eagle's Nest' dominating a mountain summit and the 12th century chapel of St. Bartholomew on Lake Königssee, now an unmistakable symbol of the Bavarian Alps.

From the Rupertiwinkl region to Königssee and from Markt Schellenberg to Bad Reichenhall, our lovely little land is dotted with charming villages where alpine customs are kept alive. Parades, religious processions, beer fests and folklore events testify to our locals' love of life and Bavarian traditions. Once chosen by the Bavarian kings, this area boasts a royal castle and many other sights of interest.The Berchtesgadener Land is also a paradise for hikers and those who like to remain physically active. From leisure strolls to exhilarating mountain hikes, this is a region to discover on foot.

Skateaway has selected the Hotel Fischer for our guests a three star superior rating with half-board. The hotel has 3 saunas, an infra-red cabin, a whirlpool and a solarium as well as an indoor-swimming-pool. Bathrobes provided free of charge.

As we are staying in a local hotel all guests will receive a card which means you can travel on all buses free including to Bad Reichenhall. For bus trips to Salzburg there will be a slight charge. This is a new offer for visitors to Berchtesgaden.

Berchtesgaden is wonderful for guests including those that do not skate, whether you want to relax in the spa or sightsee from Salzburg to the Eagles Nest there is something for the whole family!
