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!
