Garmisch-Partenkirchen-Zugspitze Ski Resort Guide
Garmisch-Partenkirchen-Zugspitze Ski Resort Guide
Two classical, unspoilt German mountain towns of Garmisch and Partenkirchen link to make Garmisch-Partenkirchen and provide over 70 km of piste. Aimed at the beginner to intermediate level, there are limited options for experts at Garmisch-Partenkirchen save the excellent and infamous Kandahar downhill course. The lift system is a bit old but some new cable cars have improved things. Piste grooming is not as slick as some of the larger resorts. Off the slopes at Garmisch-Partenkirchen there is nothing in the immediate vicinity of the lifts and it is best to head back into town. The town is lively and has plenty to do if you fancy a day off the snow. Good beer is to be found in the pubs and the feel is certainly Germanic!

Visitor Reviews of Garmisch-Partenkirchen-Zugspitze
Derion from Greece writes:
I was there on 19th February 2011. Very good ski center. However, I prefer Garmisch Classic (refer to my review there). The good thing with Zugspitze is the high elevation (it is a glacier) with means snow reliability. When I was there, it had not snowed for 3 weeks. However, pistes were very well groomed. The snow was good except in Super G piste, where it was really frozen and difficult / dangerous to ski. Zugspitze is a bit limited. One can ski the whole ski center in 1 day. It is best suitable for intermediate. To reach Zugspitze one has to travel from Munich to Garmisch by train (90 min) and then take from Garmisch Zahnradbahn (80 min more). ticket for the lift (including ticket for Zahnradbahn 38 euro). Total ski set rental available up to the Glacier at about 30 euro. A nice place to ski, although I prefer Garmisch Classic
