Visitor Reviews of Grainau

What a beautiful village to stay in for a winter holiday and extremely well priced. Rooms with breakfast from between 18 euros up to whatever you wish. I love the authenticity of Grainau, very few speak English and all are very helpful. Free bus service with the guest card, so can just jump on and in 10 mins be at the ski station. Can also use the Cog train for free, except if you need cable cars up or gondolas in Garmisch. Perfect location for a truely authentic Bavarian holiday. Delicious food too!
