Holiday in Schliersee

About Schliersee

The Schliersee is the calm, authentically preserved counterpart to the glamorous Tegernsee — just a ridge away, but a world of its own. While Tegernsee shines with celebrity villas and chic restaurants, Schliersee has maintained its down-to-earth Bavarian character: Here, locals and vacationers still sit together in the beer garden, and property prices have not yet reached Munich levels. The town of Schliersee on the northern shore is a charming market town with the oldest rural theater in Bavaria, the Schliersee Bauerntheater, which has been performing folk plays in Upper Bavarian dialect since 1892 — a vibrant piece of Bavarian theater culture that cannot be found anywhere else. The Schliersbergalm — accessible by chairlift or on foot — offers a summer toboggan run that especially delights families. The 1.1 km long track winds through the mountain forest with views of the lake and the surrounding peaks. The Markus Wasmeier Open-Air Museum on the lakeshore showcases authentically reconstructed Bavarian farms and crafts from the 18th century — founded by the Olympic champion in giant slalom, who lives out his passion for Bavarian culture here. In winter, the region transforms into a snow-sure ski area at Spitzingsee, which is only 15 minutes away.
