Garmisch-Partenkirchen has around 26,000 inhabitants. The venue of the 1936 Winter Olympics still exudes a very special atmosphere today. Garmisch-Partenkirchen is also Germany's most important winter sports resort and one of the best climatic health resorts. Whether you are looking for relaxation and spa or sport and fun, you will find it all here. The historic Ludwigstraße with its elegant boutiques and original, sometimes traditional shops, various restaurants and cosy huts invites you to shop, stop off and enjoy. Don't miss one of the major annual sporting events such as the New Year's ski jumping or the World Cup races!

Zugspitze

New Year's ski jumping, the Kandahar downhill run and international flair - you can experience all this and much more in the region around Germany's highest mountain! There are also special scenic features such as the Zugspitze itself and the Partnachklamm gorge. In the region, you can get to know ten different ski areas in two countries. The Zugspitzplatt is particularly snow-sure with numerous slopes directly below the Zugspitze. A ride on the Eibsee cable car, which takes pedestrians up to almost 2,950 metres, just below the highest point in Germany, allows you to enjoy a breathtaking panorama. For après-ski, you can meet up in the rustic ski huts or in the evening in the various bars, pubs, clubs and discos. Fun and thrills are also guaranteed with tobogganing and many other leisure activities in the holiday region.
