Zugspitze
Right by the edge of our venue is the largest mountain in the German Alps, the Zugspitze. From the top of this mountain, you can see 4 countries at the same time: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy. There's hiking, skiing, and more. And you don't have to be that physically active to get to the top! Use the ski lifts! With a view like this a couple miles in reach, this is an opportunity you can't pass up!
Water Sports
If you love the water, you'll be right at home here. There are so many different adventures to try! A wild rafting tour on the Loisach brings the guaranteed adrenaline rush that adventurous people are looking for. There is even a whitewater school that teaches you the secrets of kayaking. If you prefer to take it a little easier, then simply spend a relaxing day in the idyllic natural outdoor pool in Kainzenbad. Or visit one of the many lakes around Garmisch, such as the Pflegersee, the Riessersee or the Geroldsee. There are various different places to find these sorts of activites, so just give it a quick google search.
Golf-Club Garmisch-Partenkirchen e.V. Platzanlage Oberau
Golfers will find an 18-hole and a 9-hole golf course nearby to pursue their passion. I mean, who wouldn't take the opportunity to golf on lush greens surrounded by beautiful forests and the alpine mountains?
Hiking, Biking, Trails, and More
This mountain attracts mountaineers and climbers almost magically. Above all, the Jubiläumsgrat is a popular destination for alpinists. A trip to the Alpspitze is worthwhile for via ferrata fans. This via ferrata has become a classic in the Bavarian Alps, after all it combines climbing pleasure with a fantastic view of the Werdenfelser Land. Further down in the valley, sport climbers will get their money's worth in the climbing gardens Herrgotschrofen and yellow walls. If you prefer to go by bike and would like to explore the area around Garmisch-Partenkirchen , there is a route network of more than 450 km in the region. Perfect for cycling! Where there are mountains, of course there are also mountain bikers. There are more than a dozen signposted MTB routes for you to explore. Nordic walkers and joggers will find numerous opportunities for their favorite hobby around Garmisch. Tours up to 4 hours in length on the Wank, at the Kramer and at the Eckbauer are possible.
Partnach Gorge
Even if the weather doesn't play along, there's still awesome things to do. Like a visit to the spectacular Partnach Gorge, which is particularly advisable when it rains, as more water then falls into the depths and enhances the spectacle.
Olympic Ski Jump
One of southern Germany's most notable landmarks, the Olympic Ski Jump. At the 1936 Winter Olympics, the venue hosted the ski jumping event and the ski jumping part of the Nordic combined event. The outrun of the ski jump formed the ski stadium which held the opening and closing ceremonies and the start / finish area of the cross-country skiing competitions.
