Accommodation
Farchant is picturesquely situated between the Wetterstein and Ammer mountains at an altitude of 700 metres above sea level. The idyllic community is known for its breathtaking natural scenery with green meadows, dense forests and majestic mountains. The village centre is crossed by the Loisach River and invites you to linger in comfort.

Touristically relevant sights include the 17th-century parish church of St. Martin with its Baroque altarpiece, as well as the Farchanter Bauernhaus local history museum with insights into the lives of people in earlier times.

Cultural highlights are offered especially during the annual "Farchanter Kulturwochenende" (Farchant Culture Weekend) in summer or at concerts in the church of St. Martin.

For gourmets, there are regional delicacies such as hearty Brotzeitbrettl or sweet Kaiserschmarrn - it is best to enjoy these specialities directly on site in a traditional inn.

Outdoor activities can have different focuses depending on the season: In winter, the nearby Zugspitze attracts as a skiing area for all levels of difficulty. In summer, on the other hand, the surrounding mountains invite you to go on hikes and mountain tours - from leisurely walks to challenging summit climbs, there is something for everyone. Cycling, climbing or paragliding are also popular leisure activities.

If the weather doesn't cooperate, there are alternatives such as a visit to the indoor swimming pool or a round of mini golf.

The most beautiful time in Farchant is certainly in spring, when nature awakens and everything is green and in bloom. But also in autumn the region shows its best side with colourful foliage and a mild climate.

Total: Farchant is definitely worth a trip! The municipality offers a variety of opportunities for active leisure activities as well as cultural highlights and culinary delights. Whether alone, as a couple or family - everyone gets their money's worth here!
