When summer arrives in the mountains, Garmisch-Partenkirchen attracts ambitious sports enthusiasts, families and people looking for well-being with active experiences for every taste: from challenging climbing tours, thrills during paragliding to adventure hikes and exploratory excursions by bike or e-bike. Discover the rugged beauty of the mountains: colourful alpine meadows, rugged rock faces and crystal-clear mountain lakes.
Even the German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe captured a central point of hiking with the quote “Only where you were on foot, you really were”. The GaPa Tourism board offers guided hikes to the most beautiful points in the area. For more information and the programme, please contact our reception team.
Discover new horizons and get deep insights, all this is possible with the ticket for the 2 summit tour. The Zugspitze awaits you with its spectacular view over the Alpine peaks of four different countries. On the Alpspitze you can expect an extraordinary viewing platform as well as the exciting summit experience trail. It is not for nothing that the Alpspitze is also called the jewel of the Werdenfelser Land.
Why wait for winter with tobogganing? In Garmisch-Partenkirchen you don’t have to do without the fun of tobogganing in summer either. The 850-metre-long summer toboggan run takes you down the mountain at a rapid pace. A perfect destination for the whole family.
You always wanted to see the world from above? After all, we can offer you a small part of it. You can enjoy up to 200 kilometres of distant views from Germany’s highest mountain, the Zugspitze. Spend unforgettable moments, for example on a glacier hike at the highest point of Germany. With the ticket for the Zugspitze round trip you can use the Eibsee cable car, the glacier cable car as well as the cogwheel train.
