Flowering mountain slopes and traditional meadows. Icy glaciers and majestic summits. With their untouched nature and raw beauty, the Alps have always been a source of fascination. Angelika Taschen presents the best accommodation for Alpinists – historic inns, guesthouses, monasteries, mountain huts, chalets, palazzi, design hotels, even a youth hostel.

Peak Pleasure

A Mountain Tour of the Alps

The Alps are Europe’s biggest and greatest mountain range. Formed millions of years ago, they became a popular destination for travelers in the late eighteenth century – first for adventurers and explorers, then for artists and writers, and finally for everyone who wanted to spend summer in the fresh air of this wonderful scenery or take part in winter sports. Angelika Taschen has followed in their footsteps and collected the finest hotels in the Alpine nations of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and Italy.

They include the Kranzbach near Garmisch-Partenkirchen,

built for a British aristocrat, Gasthof Hirschen in the Bregenzerwald, where art-loving visitors have been welcomed since 1755, and the Seehof near Salzburg with its emphasis on contemporary art and fine cuisine. The journey goes to Waldhaus Sils in Sils Maria, where many creative guests have found inspiration, to the Schatzalp in Davos, which Thomas Mann immortalized in literature in “The Magic Mountain”, and to picturesque bed & breakfasts with a personal touch such as Brücke49 in Vals and Maison Bergdorf in Interlaken.

High above Chamonix, mountaineers have stayed overnight for more than 140 years at Refuge du Montenvers with its view of the Mer de Glace, the largest glacier in France. In the exclusive Megève, too, which Baroness Noémie de Rothschild put on the tourist map, travelers experience the Alps à la française in the chalet hotel L’Alpaga; and a bit of Italian dolce vita is provided by stunning addresses in the South Tyrol such as the Ottmangut in Merano, Villa Arnica in Lana with its nostalgic atmosphere, and Pension Briol near Barbiano, constructed in 1928 in the Bauhaus style and extended in 2021 with the addition of two extremely modern buildings.

This opulent book of photographs presents the Alpine range and accommodation in large-format images, short texts, and useful details on prices and how to get there. Walkers, skiers, gourmets, and lovers of good living will find valuable tips and very special accommodation: former monasteries where guests still find peace and seclusion, a mountain hut at the heart of the Dolomites, and a youth hostel occupying what was once a sanatorium, a rare example of modern architecture in Switzerland that was declared a heritage monument in 2002.

愉悦之巅

阿尔卑斯山的山区之旅

阿尔卑斯山是欧洲最高大和最雄伟的山脉，形成于数百万年前，在十八世纪末成为旅行热门目的地。首先吸引了冒险家和探险家，然后是艺术家和作家，最后是每个想在这一美妙景色的新鲜空气中度过夏天或参加冬季运动的人。安吉丽卡·塔森（Angelika Taschen）追随他们的脚步，收集了德国、奥地利、瑞士、法国和意大利等阿尔卑斯山周边国家的高级酒店。

这些酒店包括德国加米施·帕滕基兴市附近为一位英国贵族建造的克朗兹巴赫酒店（Kranzbach）；布雷根泽尔森林中的赫斯臣酒店（Gasthof Hirschen），自1755年以来一直接待爱好艺术的游客；萨尔茨堡附近的萨霍夫酒店（Seehof），强调了当代艺术和精致美食；西尔玛利亚的瓦尔德豪斯山庄（Waldhaus Sils），许多富有创造力的客人在这里找到了灵感；达沃斯的沙茨瓦尔普酒店（Schatzalp），在托马斯·曼（Thomas Mann）的文学作品《魔山》中名垂千古；以及风景如画、具有个人特色的住宿加早餐旅馆，如瓦尔斯的布鲁克旅店（Brücke49）和因特拉肯的梅尔道夫旅店（Maison Bergdorf）。

在夏蒙尼小镇高处的Refuge du Montenvers酒店是一间避难所风格的酒店，140多年来，登山者一直在这里过夜，那里可以看到法国最长的冰川——冰海冰川。在梅杰夫小镇，罗斯柴尔德家族的私家圣地，游客可以在阿尔帕加（L'Alpaga）木屋酒店体验阿尔卑斯山的风情；在意大利南蒂罗尔省感受意大利式的生活，如梅拉诺的奥特曼古特酒店（Ottmangut）、拉纳具有怀旧气氛的阿尼卡别墅（Arnica），以及巴比亚诺附近的布里奥酒店（Pension Briol），该建筑于1928年采用包豪斯风格，2021年扩建，增加了两栋极其现代化的建筑。

这本富丽堂皇的摄影集以大尺寸的图片、简短的文字，提供了价格、旅途路线等细节，介绍了阿尔卑斯山的范围和住宿。徒步旅行者、滑雪者、美食家和美好生活的爱好者都能找到有价值的提示和非常特别的住宿，例如安静隐秘的前修道院；多洛米蒂山中心的山间小屋；以及疗养院改建的青年旅舍，这是瑞士现代建筑中的罕见范例，于2002年被列为历史遗迹。
