With the very first “Servus,” you can feel it: the genuine, down-to-earth, and warm-hearted Bavarian soul. But what happens when traditional dialect meets modern design? The answer lies in the Agrad Chalets on the edge of Aschau im Chiemgau region, where things are truly cozy and feel just right. And because the way people speak says a lot about their way of life, we want to introduce the chalet village using the very words you’re likely to hear around here.
SERVUS [ˈsɛɐ̯vus]
HELLO & GOODBYE
When arriving, when leaving, and in between. Servus in Bavaria is more than just a greeting.
A Servus stands for warmth, familiarity, and that Bavarian way of being that isn’t put on — it’s genuine.
AGRAD [ˈaːgʁɑd]
JUST RIGHT
At the chalet village in Aschau im Chiemgau, agrad is just the right place for relaxing days in the Bavarian air. There’s plenty of space here to live in the now, because the word itself is a reminder to enjoy the moment.
GMIATLICH [ˈgmiː.at.lɪç]
COSY
Traditional alpine huts are incredibly cozy. When reinterpreted in a contemporary way, there’s always the risk of losing that sense of homeliness. But that’s not the case at the Agrad Chalet Village. The chalets and suites are furnished in a modern style — yet thanks to warm colors, local materials, and cozy details, they remain wonderfully snug and inviting.
MIT HERZ & G’SPÜR [mɪt hɛrts ʊnt ɡʃpyːɐ̯]
WITH LOVE AND SENSIVITY
It describes a genuine, heartfelt commitment you can really feel: there’s soul in it. Someone is thinking along, feeling along, living along. At Agrad, this means every detail has a purpose. Every greeting is sincere. Every pause feels just right. Whether in the architecture, the breakfast in the chalet, or the quiet Servus in between — it’s the intuition for what truly matters that makes all the difference.
ZAMKEMMA [ˈtsam.kɛ.mɐ]
COMING TOGETHER
The chalet village, just like any village should, also has a center. Instead of a church, here it’s the year-round heated pool with a wooden terrace and comfortable loungers, all with breathtaking views of the mountains. Casual and unhurried, without pressure or plans, people come together here as couples, with family, or with other guests.
DAHOAM [daˈhoːɐ̯m]
AT HOME
Bavarian hospitality means arriving, letting go, and feeling safe. Not like a stranger, but like someone returning to a place that has always welcomed them. A home away from home: quiet and warm, honest and familiar.
