At 2962 metres above sea level, the Zugspitze is the highest peak in the Wetterstein mountain range and Germany's highest mountain. The Zugspitze massif lies to the south-west of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
The Zugspitzplatt is an alpine karst plateau below the Zugspitz summit, which serves as Germany's highest ski area and hiking destination. At an altitude of between 2,000 and 2,650 metres, it offers snow-sure pistes in winter and an impressive view of the Alps. The area has been formed by weathering, karstification and the over-shaping of earlier ice ages and is home to a small chapel dedicated to the Visitation of the Virgin Mary. The Zugspitzplatt can be easily reached with the Bayerische Zugspitzbahn railway.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen consists of two towns that were united in 1935. From Garmisch, you can easily reach the Zugspitze using the railway operated by Bayerische Zugspitzbahn Bergbahn AG. We recommend a "round trip" with the Zugspitze cable car, the cog railway and the glacier railway. During the journey, you will always have an impressive view of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
