Mountain Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria, Germany

What to expect

Garmisch-Partenkirchen is an Alpine ski town in Bavaria, southern Germany. It is known as the site of the 1936 Winter Olympic Games, the first to include alpine skiing, and hosts a variety of winter sports competitions. The town is situated near Germany's highest mountain, Zugspitze, at 2,962 metres above sea level. Garmisch and Partenkirchen were separate towns for many centuries and still maintain separate identities. The town has a rich history, with Partenkirchen originating as the Roman town of Partanum on the trade route from Venice to Augsburg. Visitors can explore the town's main street, Ludwigsstrasse, which follows the original Roman road, and visit the baroque Neue Kirche, which was completed in 1752

Family holidays in the Tölzer Land in winter without snow
This family's experience:

Activities: We took the cable car to the top and enjoyed the panoramic views of the Zugspitze massif and then hiked down towards the Partnach Gorge. We enjoyed the "T-Shirt-weather" and the views of the landscape

Highlights: The kids enjoyed the cable car ride. The scenic views of the Alps from the top and the hike with the ever-changing views. The sudden change to winter at the Partnach Gorge was an exciting experience, with some ice formations ✨
