Your arrival at the Panoramahotel Watles

The beginning of your most beautiful journey

Upwards it goes, curve after curve, serpentine after serpentine.
The landscape opens up, and everything else fades away. With every metre of altitude, the world slips a little further into the background, the air feels clearer, thoughts become lighter. The view stretches – across peaks, valleys, horizons. And somewhere in between, you feel it: that quiet yet powerful sensation of having arrived – long before you even cross the threshold.

Guest voices

A very beautiful hotel, high up on the Watles. Very friendly and cheerful staff, especially in the restaurant area. The motto ‘Talk to us, we’re happy to help’ is really taken seriously. You feel welcome and at ease as a guest. Wonderful view. Large sauna and pool area. Everything very well maintained and clean. Although the hotel is located high up, it is easy to reach by car. Absolutely recommendable.
