Summer, Sun, Lake Views – LA VILLA Summer Festival & Cross’n Chill 2026
From 12 PM to 8 PM, enjoy chilled-out music, delicious food, refreshing drinks, and a relaxed summer atmosphere right on the lakeshore and in the expansive park.
Our head chef, Christoph Gessner, will delight you with Bavarian specialties, tarte flambée, freshly grilled dishes, and sweet treats such as homemade cakes and soft ice cream from our in-house patisserie.
Feel free to bring your own towel and make yourself comfortable on the sunbathing lawn – soak up the sun, take a dip in the cool waters, or simply enjoy the day. Swimming, paddling, or boating? All is possible:
Explore the lake on the historic boat “Betty”
Try your hand at stand-up paddling with the SUP-Club Starnberg boards
Or simply enjoy the view from your towel
Children’s care and entertainment from 1 PM to 6 PM (entertainment-for-kids.de)
Cross’n’Chill: Swimming for a Good Cause – with Alpine Views
Whether you’re athletically ambitious or prefer a relaxed team experience: on the 2.4 km lake crossing from the eastern shore to LA VILLA, you’ll experience Lake Starnberg at its most impressive. At the same time, you’ll support a cause close to our hearts: all donations go to Stiftung Deutschland Schwimmt, an organization promoting inclusive water familiarization and swimming education for children, including those with disabilities.
The principle is simple: for every minute swum under or over one hour, a donation is made. If you wish, you can also get involved in advance, form a donation team, or bring a sponsor on board.
To register for the swimming session, please send an email to schwimmen@starnbergammersee.de.
Of course, a little excitement is part of the fun: our raffle offers fantastic prizes – all proceeds go to charitable initiatives supporting swimming education.
Admission is free. Food and drinks are available on-site. Parking is available at the public lot “Steg 1” in Possenhofen, from where a free shuttle service will bring you conveniently to the venue.
We recommend arriving on foot, by bike, or via public transport.
Please note: In case of bad weather, we reserve the right to cancel the festival.
Come join us, bring your loved ones – and celebrate an unforgettable summer day by the lake!
