A life-changing get-away at Biohotel Mattlihüs Spanning three generations, the Geißler family has transformed the Mattlihüs in the mountains of the Bavarian Allgäu from a tearoom to a four star green hotel. In turn, it is transforming the lives of its guests by offering ecologically friendly accommodation, organic cuisine, relaxing spa treatments and seminars on life-skills.

Situated in the village of Oberjoch within luscious mountain pastures, the Mattlihüs used to offer refreshments for tourists especially during the winter. Skiing enthusiasts would take a break at the tearoom next to the ski and chair lifts.“When the lifts were moved to a different location, the only option was to transform the Mattlihüs into a hotel,”says the current owner Alexander Geißler, who now runs the hotel together with his wife Melita. “Owing to an entrepreneurial crisis, I decided to make use of my skills as a qualified feng shui consultant and created a new, sustainable model project,”he says.
