"Our aim was to create a lively down-to-earth space open to visitors and locals alike,” says Josef. The pair have succeeded in their mission: Hotel Bären has become the region’s favourite brunch spot as Bregenzerwalders flock to the village of Mellau for the inn’s breakfast.

Gault&Millau, the best active hotels

The open yoga classes and retreats in the hotel's own Studio B are highly recommended. The view of the Alps while relaxing in the relaxation room is a sensation.
