Seminars and company events
The Riessersee Hotel hosts meetings, workshops, incentives and company events for up to 100 people seated in rows, with 162 rooms and suites on site. The hotel stands directly on the Riessersee, a small lake at Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the Bavarian Alps, and offers ten event rooms plus an outdoor meeting area.
The largest room, Ammersee, measures 92 square meters on the first floor, seats 100 in rows and opens onto a roof terrace. It combines with the neighboring Tegernsee. Riessersee, at 60 square meters, seats 65 in rows and connects with Eibsee, and both open onto a terrace. Walchensee, with daylight, works as a creative room. On the ground floor, four sports rooms named after winter disciplines measure 48 square meters each, seat up to 30 in rows and can be combined. They have no daylight and serve as official rooms of the German Ski Association. In the lakeside Seehaus, the Waxenstein room seats up to eight with views of the lake and the mountains. The Kreativberg is a 300-square-meter outdoor area with concentration games and sports equipment, bookable together with an indoor room.
A standard technology package covers projector and screen, document camera, flip chart, pinboard, moderation kit, drinks in the room, a coffee machine and a tea station. The team arranges group check-in, luggage service, information packs, signage and a hospitality desk on request. Coaches can park at the hotel.
Company formats include anniversaries, Christmas parties, incentives, product presentations and fondue evenings by the fireplace. Team building runs indoors and outdoors, often as an afternoon of activities followed by a shared dinner. In winter, groups can take over an ice-stock rink and a market hut serving mulled wine, hot drinks and waffles.
