Winter, here I come!

Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a winter wonderland for all who love the mountains. From the classic slopes of Garmisch-Classic to the towering heights of the Zugspitze, 26 modern lifts whisk you up to 2,720 m, opening the door to over 60 kilometers of runs – gentle enough for beginners, thrilling enough for pros. Ski schools and rental stations make it easy to dive straight into the fun.

The legendary Kandahar downhill run is a must for daring skiers, hosting international races and unforgettable challenges. But Garmisch isn’t just for ski and snowboard fans: cross-country trails, magical winter hikes, and exhilarating toboggan runs ensure every day is packed with Alpine adventure – and cozy moments by warm stoves along the way.

Mountain summer at its best

Summer in Garmisch-Partenkirchen means hiking through the cool Partnach Gorge in the morning, with the water still glistening in the mist. Take the Zugspitze cable car up to almost 3,000 meters and soak in the breathtaking Alpine views. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the Kramerplateau Trail through the countryside, or scramble up the Alpspitze if you’re feeling adventurous.

If two wheels are more your style, cycle along the Loisach to Ehrwald, or ride your mountain bike up the forest trails to the alpine huts – and reward yourself with a hearty snack and a stunning view.

Partnach Gorge

An absolute highlight of the region: in places over 80 meters deep, carved into the rocks, filled with the wild roar of untamed water. Experience pure, untamed nature up close.

Eibsee

Rocky Mountains? Not quite – just a few kilometers from Garmisch-Partenkirchen. A mountain lake could hardly be more beautiful: turquoise-blue water, green forests, and a panorama that simply takes your breath away.

Zugspitze

Germany’s highest peak, soaring to almost 3,000 meters. Once you reach the summit by cogwheel train or gondola, you’ll be greeted by a spectacular 360° panorama of 400 surrounding peaks.
