You missed this at the first Explorer Hotels Eco Lounge in Garmisch
Continue to climb the sustainability index
Cool workshops, hands-on activities, and exciting presentations: Our first Explorer Hotels Eco Lounge was all about tangible sustainability. Various partners also joined us at our hotel in Garmisch, demonstrating just how diverse, practical, and inspiring sustainable practices can be.
Our team – a cross-country trip across the Grünten
Adela kicked things off, setting a blistering pace right from the start. Afterwards, she said with a laugh, "I actually wanted to start off easy – but then the adrenaline kicked in."
Julia followed suit on her road bike, showing that she wasn't just having fun, but was also incredibly fast: "I just let it flow – legs felt good, mood was good, and then you just fly."
Felix trudged up the Grünten mountain during the uphill run and remarked, "That wasn't so much running, more like climbing with a heart rate of 180."
Andrea took over on the downhill run and sped down into the valley – his conclusion: "Braking is for beginners."
Then came Nils on his mountain bike: a bit slippery, but manageable. "It wasn't so bad – a little dirt is part of the fun, otherwise it would just be cycling."
And Fabian finally brought the team across the finish line. His motivation? "The prospect of Käsespätzle – that motivates more than any finish line."
Expo, Emotions & Food
While our team was tearing across trails, mountains, and asphalt, things were a bit more relaxed at the Explorer stand. Here, holiday vibes, goodies, and plenty of "I have to go there!" moments were handed out.
At the finish line, the well-deserved reward awaited: tarte flambée, Käsespätzle (cheese spaetzle), and cake in endless quantities. In short: carbohydrate stores replenished – mission accomplished.
Our conclusion:
The Grünten Relay was cool, exciting, slightly muddy – and simply brilliant. Right up our alley. And next year? Absolutely: We'll be back.
Book your room now for the next Grünten relay race - the highlight in the Allgäu region!
