Zugspitze -
Outstanding overall experience
The Zugspitze juts self-confidently from the eponymous mountain range in southern Bavaria and as Germany’s highest mountain is famous well beyond the country’s borders. Its popularity epitomizes the need people have to get some distance from their everyday lives and “rise above things”.
The spectacular ascent on the record-breaking Cable car Zugspitze marks the first highlight. Having reached an altitude of 2,962 metres in comfort, visitors are able to enjoy extensive views over 400 mountain peaks. Anyone wanting to experience glacial ice and snow up close can choose between sporty and laid-back activities – in winter and high summer. The Panorama 2962 restaurant at the summit stands for the best prospects on a scenic and culinary level. It will serve typical specialties from the Alpine region, garnished with rich panoramic views. The cogwheel train then takes you back in comfort to Garmisch-Partenkirchen – the perfect opportunity to wave farewell to the peak and to reflect on the experiences of your round trip.
