    Accessible Hotel Bergsonne Allgäu with alpine meadow

    TRUE ACCESSIBILITY.
    FREEDOM FOR EVERYONE.

    Accessible Hotel in the Allgäu, Your Wheelchair-Friendly Holiday at Hotel Bergsonne Allgäu

    True hospitality clears the hurdles out of the way. At Bergsonne, accessibility is not a technical add-on but a cornerstone of our philosophy. We firmly believe that every person has the right to relax carefree in the Allgäu.

    Access starts outside already: our hotel entrance is step-free, so you roll into the house without a threshold. If you need a ramp, please register your arrival by wheelchair in advance, then we will place ramps wherever they are needed. Inside, everything stays level too, the lift reaches every floor and all public areas are wheelchair accessible. There are two exceptions we tell you about in advance: the outdoor car park at the house on a slight slope, and our Alpen-Glühen, the Finnish sauna. You can park level with the hotel at the public car park or in the underground garage, and if you have limited mobility, please arrange a sauna visit with Elke Müller in advance, mandatory, at +49-171-1979017.

    Inclusion as a lived standard

    As soon as you are inside the house, our attitude takes over. Inclusion is not a marketing word for us: all 11 barrier-free room combine genuine accessibility with aesthetic design. The lift reaches all floors step-free, and Smart Check-in via Lio lets you arrive and depart independently, independent of opening hours. Your wheelchair-accessible holiday in the Allgäu is our mission.

    Thoughtful design for your independence

    Inside our hotel, everything is consistently designed to be wheelchair-accessible. Public areas such as the Lounge offer generous turning circles. The community table is built to be roll-under accessible, making social participation a matter of course. Access to the Maxibar is planned so you can serve yourself without obstacles. A wheelchair-accessible holiday should never fail over small details.

    Room equipment exactly to your needs

    In the rooms we continue this standard seamlessly, with plenty of room to move and showers without a step, which finish almost level with a slight 7 mm drip edge. Because every guest has their own needs, we adapt your room flexibly. We provide our on-site aids as a package, for 95.00 euros per week, regardless of scope. It is best to let us know your needs directly when you book, so everything is ready for you on arrival.

    Our AI Lio further supports your independence: you can book the sauna around the clock from your smartphone, with about 30 minutes lead time. If you have limited mobility, please arrange the sauna visit with Elke Müller in advance, mandatory, at +49-171-1979017. Whether you are here for productive co-working at the co-working room or looking for silence, inside, we have removed the obstacles. By the way: a holiday with your dog is warmly welcome and effortless here too.

    Almost all. Inside the house, everything is on one level, the elevator provides step-free access to all floors and is also suitable for electric wheelchairs, and all public areas are wheelchair accessible. There are two exceptions: the outdoor parking spaces at the house, which are on a slight slope, and our Alpen-Glühen, the Finnish sauna. You can park on level ground opposite the hotel in the public parking spaces or in the underground car park, both are subject to a fee. And a sauna visit with mobility restrictions must be arranged in advance with Elke Müller at +49-171-1979017.

    Our 8 hotel parking spaces are on a slight slope and are therefore only partially suitable if you have limited mobility.

If you like, we can reserve a fixed hotel parking space at the house for you for 7,50 Euro.
