About Bad Bayersoien
Bad Bayersoien is a village of around 1,300 people at just over 800 metres, in the Ammergau Alps nature park in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district. Our homes are clustered in the village and mostly sleep two, often with a garden. The draw is the Soier See, a shallow moor lake left behind by retreating glaciers. Because it is shallow it warms quickly, and the south shore has the bathing area, with a kiosk, a big lawn for lying out and boats for hire. The lake and its surroundings are a protected landscape. In the village, Saint George's church has a Gothic altar. Evenings are quiet, because this is a small village rather than a resort.
Is Bad Bayersoien right for you?
- Best for
- Couples wanting a lake swim and quiet Alpine-edge walking

Yes. The Soier See has a bathing area on its south shore with a kiosk, a large lawn and boat hire. The lake is shallow, so the water warms up quickly, and its quality is checked by regular measurements.

Very. It is a village of around 1,300 people, so evenings mean a meal and an early night. Anyone wanting nightlife or a wide choice of restaurants should base themselves in a larger town.
Bad Bayersoien or Oberammergau?
