History & tradition
From a mountain farm to the Bergkristall – My Resort in Allgäu
Three generations. One family. A matter of the heart: the Bergkristall. More than 50 years have passed since Hans and Hedi Lingg opened a snack bar on their parents' former farm in 1967 and later turned it into the Lingg-Bergstüble Spa and Holiday Hotel. Thus, they laid the foundation stone for the success story of the Bergkristall - My Resort in Allgäu. Since 1993, Hans-Jörg and Sabine Lingg have run the 4-star superior hotel and have expanded it into a resort with numerous innovations for guests.
With hospitality, passion, and joy in our work, we have created a holiday home that brings our guests to themselves and leaves them delighted.

The history of the Bergkristall
"Brotzeitstüble" opened in 1967
After the opening of the Brotzeitstüble on their parents' farm, Hans and Hedi Lingg realize that their guests would also like to be able to stay there. The Brotzeitstüble adds guest rooms and is quickly known for its hearty yodel evenings and its friendly hosts, Hans and Hedi.
"Bergstüble" Restaurant 1976
After the extension of the stable, the little restaurant becomes a stately excursion restaurant with a panoramic terrace: the Bergstüble Restaurant
The 1980s
Year after year, more extensions are made. More and more people discover the "Willis" as their personal retreat for their holidays and for the well-known Schroth cure for their health.
The Game Park 1981
In 1981, the former cow pasture below the panorama terrace was transformed into a beautiful game enclosure. Deer and goats move in and can still be admired today.
Innovations 1985
Hans and Hedi start the expansion of the barn and launch Schroth cures in their Spa and Hotel Lingg-Bergstüble. In addition, the access road receives a heating system to prevent slipperiness in winter.
The 1990s: The next generation follows
In 1993 his son Hans-Jörg and wife, Sabine, took over the spa and hotel. After the addition of comfortable rooms, a first wellness area with indoor pool and a treatment area for cosmetics, massages, and baths with a soft pack lounge, they open the house as the 4-star Spa Hotel Bergkristall. Shortly after, Ayurveda treatments are introduced.
The outdoor offerings become more and more popular. The guests love to walk through the Allgäu countryside with the senior boss and see the most beautiful paths. The offer for the guests is regularly expanded upon with gymnastics, Allgäu evenings with local color, gala evenings with a 5-course meal and, on request, light food.
2006: Paradies wing
The Paradies wing with the spacious spa studios and the dreamlike Kristall SPA with 10 treatment rooms are created.
Wellness-Highlights 2012
The hotel experiences another highlight with the extension of the "NAGELFLUH" sauna area and the new year-round heated infinity pool heated.
Luxury & Design 2015
New rooms and suites are built above the Paradies wing. The highlight is our 78 m2 suite Adlerhorst with an infrared cabin and an all-around mountain view. Panorama fitness and gymnastics room for yoga, Pilates, back training and much more complete the Kristall SPA. The hotel entrance gets a new look.
Outdoor wellness 2016
The open-air yoga plateau, the outdoor treatment cabin, and the new, cozy alpine lounges perfect the Bergkristall.
2018: Bergkristall – My Resort in Allgäu
The 4-star superior hotel becomes the Bergkristall - My Resort in Allgäu. The Säntis und Paradies wings are renovated and turned into the Bergkristall Residence. 25 new dreamlike rooms are created in the newly built Bergkristall Lodge. The Bergkristall Atrium is built with a newly designed lobby, the "Hansi Bar" and the small lounge terrace "WEITBLICK". The restaurant is expanded as well as the wellness area, which is made even more attractive with an event lodge sauna, an outdoor wellness living room, and a larger outdoor infinity sports pool.
We will continue to develop the Bergkristall - My Resort in Allgäu in the future.
