Overview

  • Mount Zugspitze - a mountain of superlatives: at 2,962 m, the highest mountain in Germany, whose unique 360° panorama allows for breathtaking views of both the lowlands and the Alpine peaks of four countries.

    Fun & action awaits you in the eternal ice on the Zugspitz glacier, while you experience three world sensations on the ride with the new Zugspitz cable car: the highest cable car support + the greatest difference in height + the longest cable span!

    The excursion does not have to end with the descent: Your personal, licensed and friendly tour guide will take you in a comfortable VW minivan to other top sights in and around Garmisch-Partenkirchen and explain their historical and current background.
