The Varta Guide is the leading selection for hotels and restaurants in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and South Tyrol. It provides detailed information on 24,000 hotels and restaurants of note in thousands of towns, cities and villages. This electronic edition, with its comprehensive search facilities and covering twice as many hotels and restaurants as the paper version, makes the Varta Guide more useful than ever.

The ideal travel companion from Varta is now available for your palmtop computer. Using the Varta Guide, business travellers and holiday makers will be able to search in virtually every town, village or district in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and South Tyrol for the best selection of places to eat and stay.
Customised searches can be made on criteria such as name, class, category and dozens of facilities such as air conditioning, garden or car park. And of course you can ask for restaurants and hotels worthy of the renowned Varta accolades, such as the Varta stars and the Cooks Hats. The application can even show the results in order of distance from your current location!
