New chapter on Wallberg: Pfallers are planning a spectacular winter event!
A new era is dawning in the restaurant on the Wallberg! From December 2025, Daniela and Christian Pfaller will be the new owners of the popular restaurant. They take over the reins from Utta and Rainer Schönhofer, who are going into their well-deserved retirement after an impressive 30 years. The Pfallers have big plans for the coming year and want to spice up the gastronomic offering with various events. These include a strong beer festival, a crime dinner and a dialect festival. The “Snow Peak Festival”, which is scheduled to take place on February 7th, 2026 and is announced as the “highest winter event in the Oberland”, is particularly eye-catching.
The festival, at which six DJs play and 550 guests are expected, aims to delight Wallberg visitors with live music. However, there are already concerns about the approval of this event. According to the Miesbach district office, the event is considered to require approval because it is classified as “problematic in terms of species protection and law”. This assessment is related to the proximity to the landscape protection area, although the restaurant is just outside its boundaries. In order to enable the festival to take place, the organizer must submit a report, which is, however, considered unlikely.
Approval requirements and legal aspects
As already stated, certain permits must be obtained when organizing events. This applies to both public and private events that may disturb the neighborhood, for example through noise. In this particular case, the lack of approval could jeopardize plans for the Snow Peak Festival. According to [schutt-waetke.de](https://schutt-waetke.de/ Veranstaltungsrecht-eventrecht/authorizations-fuer-events/), it is important to find out about special local regulations at an early stage, as these vary from municipality to municipality.
In addition, events may only be held without constant new permits if they take place at approved meeting locations and all requirements are met. These framework conditions are crucial to ensure that everything runs smoothly. The elementary requirements include, among other things, security concepts and compliance with noise protection measures, especially at large events.
The organizers' perspective
Christian Pfaller already offers a comparison: He sees the techno festival as a continuation of the popular forest festivals, which are also associated with loud music and happy hustle and bustle. This makes it clear that the Pfallers want to have a good hand in creating an appealing event for visitors. Nevertheless, a lot remains to be clarified in the municipality of Rottach-Egern, as those responsible were not informed about the plans in advance.
The uncertainties in the approval process show how important it is to understand the legal framework surrounding events. According to [Eventsrecht.eu](https://www. Veranstaltungsrecht.eu/), it is of considerable importance that all necessary licenses and permits are in place in order to avoid possible legal problems. The Pfallers are faced with the challenge of not only planning a successful festival, but also clarifying all the necessary legal aspects.
In summary, it remains to be seen how the Pfallers can implement their plans and whether the Wallberg restaurant will soon shine in new splendor. Discussions about conservation regulations will continue to be on the agenda as the coming winter approaches our doorsteps.
