Top 10 highlights in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen region
The 10 best destinations for your next holiday in Garmisch Partenkirchen!
In addition to the many highlights that there are to discover and experience in this region, there is another reason why you should definitely spend your holiday in Farchant in the Zugspitze region: The 10th Explorer Hotel is opening its doors here!
1. The Zugspitze - The Top of Germany
| 11 km | 21 minutes by car |
The highest mountain in Germany and definitely a must-do if you're in Garmisch! No matter the season. At 2,962 m, you can even see over 400 peaks on a clear day! If that isn't a promising alpine mountain panorama...
By the way, you have the choice: you can climb the Zugspitze on foot in about seven to eight hours - but in return you'll experience the mountain in all its beauty. Or you can take the more relaxed option by cable car, cog railway, or glacier railway - the decision is entirely up to you!
Tip: From July 29th to September 9th, 2024, the cog railway will take you to the Zugspitze from 7:39 a.m. - perfect for the early birds among you!
2. The Eibsee
| 16 km | 30 minutes by car |
Eibsee is perfect for canoeing, SUPing, or mountain biking. If you want to take it a little slower, you can also take a leisurely walk. You can do it in about 2 hours. The trail starts at the parking lot in front of the Eibsee Hotel. We recommend walking counterclockwise. In winter, the trail is also accessible by sled. It's also worth a visit for Nordic walking enthusiasts!
3. AlpspiX
| 9.6 km | 19 minutes by car |
This viewing platform with a wow factor offers a fantastic panoramic view from an eagle's perspective – after all, you're standing on the walkway over a thousand meters below. It's also perfectly combined with easy hikes. For example, you can explore the summit adventure trail around the Osterfelderkopf. Or, just as family-friendly, the interactive adventure trail from the Alpspitzbahn mountain station to the Kreuzeckbahn mountain station. The Alpspitzbahn gondolas will take you there.
4. The Partnach Gorge
| 9.5 km | 21 minutes by car |
Through the rocks! Discover the power of water by hiking through the approximately 700 m long gorge, surrounded by massive rock walls.
You can reach the Partnach Gorge on foot in about 20 minutes from the Olympic Ski Stadium.
It is also accessible in winter and the frozen water masses make it a very special experience.

5. The Kuhflucht Waterfalls
| 1.5 km | 27 minutes on foot |
One of the most beautiful and popular hikes – open year-round: the Kuhfluchtwasserfall hike in Farchant near Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a true highlight. This group of three waterfalls, with a height of approximately 270 m, is among the highest in Germany. The trail starts at the parking lot near the Farchant outdoor swimming pool.
6. The Olympic Stadium in Garmisch-Partenkirchen
| 7 km | 15 minutes by car |
The Olympic ski jump on the Gudiberg has been considered a true landmark of Garmisch-Partenkirchen since its reconstruction in 2007. Today, the ski jump, with its 100-meter inrun length, is home to the traditional New Year's ski jumping event as part of the Four Hills Tournament in winter and is, of course, open to the public. But if you feel more comfortable on the ground than up high, then pay a visit to the historic Olympic bobsleigh track at Riessersee!
7. Skiing and snowboarding on the Zugspitze
| Zugspitze: 11 km | 21 minutes by car |
| Garmisch-Classic: 7 km | 20 minutes by car |
Attention all snow lovers! Over 60 kilometers of slopes, perfectly groomed trails, and state-of-the-art lifts – all from November to April. Stunning panoramic views are guaranteed! Your two top ski areas during your stay in Garmisch will be the Zugspitze and Garmisch-Classic. Happy skiing!
8. Historic Partenkirchen – Ludwigstraße
| 5.6 km | 12 minutes by car |
A little culture is a must on vacation? In historic Partenkirchen, Ludwigstraße stands out. It's lined with traditional houses and beautifully painted facades. Yes, it sounds kitsch, but there's no better way to describe it. And speaking of kitsch: Frühlingstraße, with its farmhouses and many colorful Lüftl paintings, is also worth a detour.
9. Wankbahn
| 4.7km | 9 minutes by car |
Fancy a little nature cinema today? At 1,780 meters, the Wank near Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a perfect destination for families with both small and older children, and especially for nature lovers – there's plenty of space for hiking, running around, and relaxing.
10. Climbing fun in the largest climbing forest in Upper Bavaria
| 4.6 km | 9 minutes by car |
From beginners to pros, big and small – with over 130 climbing elements and 13 exciting courses, climbing fun is guaranteed at the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Climbing Forest & High Ropes Course!
Parking is available directly at the climbing forest and at the Wank valley station (from there it's a 10-minute walk to the climbing forest).
