Panorama hotel in the Allgäu

Hosts from the heart

Our deep connection to our home region and genuine passion can be felt in all areas of the hotel. We have been pouring heart and soul into our Allgäu family business for three generations. We take care of our guests personally. Our whole team doesn’t just listen, but listens carefully. This is what we at Bergkristall understand by genuine hospitality!

These are the stories that life writes – ours is about trust, great love, lots of hard work, vision and, above all, courage.

Bergkristall is a feeling

Our promise to you when you stay with us. We see our team as a family in which everyone can be themselves. Honest, genuine, authentic –typically Allgäu, you could say. They are all warm-hearted people, who live and breathe our special Bergkristall feeling. Because we love what we do.

The gemstone that gives us our name symbolises our resort as a power place in the idyllic Allgäu Alps. We stand by our roots and appreciate our peaceful location in the heart of nature. With our local mountain, the Kapf, keeping watch behind us and the Weissach valley to the south. With sweeping views from the Hochgrat to Säntis in Switzerland. A massive surge of power flows up this valley, and we capture it. This special energy flows into every corner of our hotel. This means you feel good when you visit the Bergkristall – from the very first moment!

Strong characters

When Hans-Jörg met his wife Sabine, the future of our family business was mapped out. Fate brought the two together and together they planned the future of what was then the Bergstüble. With courage and vision, our hotel managers transformed the small holiday hotel into the luxurious wellness resort that it is today.

Hans-Jörg Lingg is a true Allgäuer whose heart yodels when he climbs the mountains with you. One who, like his father, respects and honours our home and its local treasures. Who opens your eyes to the immensity of nature in all its beauty.

Sabine Lingg is truly the soul of our house. A superwoman with a deep-rooted, honest warmth. She is responsible for the beautiful interiors, fine details and our feel-good atmosphere. Every single day, she shows us what it means to pour our heart and soul into our work.

To this day, we are still very spontaneous and take everything as it comes.

With heart & mind

Since July 2024, Sebastian Lingg has been supporting his parents in the management of the Bergkristall, which he carries with pride in his heart. Together with his wife Janina Lingg, the creative soul of our Heimatgut boutique, and their two children, Samuel and little Laurena, he is writing a new chapter in the history of our hotel.

As an experienced Bergkristall team leader, Sebastian Lingg is a role model for our employees. With his open communication and clear management style, he creates a positive working atmosphere at eye level. He is always approachable and supports the team in word and deed. Sebastian's goal is to lead a strong and efficient team that masters the challenges together and delights the guests of the Bergkristall day after day.

Ambassador of hospitality

At the Bergkristall, Johannes Lingg has found the opportunity to live out his passion for gastronomy and freely develop his creativity. The HansiBAR is his realm, where he and his bar team spoil guests with unique flavour experiences. Whether classic cocktails or experimental creations- Johannes and his team conjure up drinks that will go down in the history of the HansiBAR.

But Johannes' passion is not limited to the bar. His love of flavour extends to the entire gastronomy of the hotel. He is interested in the origin of the ingredients, the close collaboration with local suppliers, the preparation of the dishes and the interplay of flavours. He works closely with the kitchen and service team to create a harmonious overall picture. The satisfaction of our guests is his daily motivation.

The pioneer of the Bergkristall

Together with her husband Hans Lingg, our senior boss Hedi Lingg laid the foundations for the family business. Having grown up in farming circumstances, they have always remained loyal to the Allgäu and, despite setbacks at the time, have realised their dream of owning their own café and later an excursion restaurant with the first "guest rooms", their „Bergstüble“. Along the way, they have raised four children, all of whom are warmly connected to today's Bergkristall in their own way.

You can meet our senior manager Hedi in and around the hotel. For example, at the traditional family lunch table in the atrium. Our guests still rave about the cakes that we continue to bake according to her recipes. Her husband Hans provided entertainment and infectious joie de vivre for many years with his humour. He also took care of feeding the animals in the hotel's own wildlife park. As a role model, inspiration and good spirit, he lives on forever in our hearts afer a long and fulfilling life.

Home is a feeling: HISTORY OF THE HOTEL - Resort Bergkristall

HISTORY OF THE HOTEL

Home is a feeling

We feel quite overcome when we wake up and look out of the window at the imposing Nagelfluh range dominated by the Hochgrat. Happy moments are guaranteed when the morning mist lies in the Weissach valley and the sun is rising over Willis. When the Swiss mountain Säntis seems to be in touching distance. When the only sound you hear when you drift off to sleep is the gentle chime of the cowbells. Or when the star of the show, our magnificent stag Hansi, takes centre stage and his roaring can be heard for miles. Yes, home is a very special feeling here.
