Overall 4.1 Based on 15 votes and 10 reviews
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
