Zugspitze Top of Germany Private Excursion (minibus/van)

Towering over Garmisch-Partenkirchen, we find the highest mountain in Germany: Zugspitze. At a height of 2962 meters (9,718 ft), it is also known for its two glaciers, the Schneeferner and the Höllentalferner, its ski resort on the German side and for having a train that climbs the inside of the mountain through a tunnel carved in 1926. The picturesque town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen has been an important part of the transalpine trade routes since Roman times. Zugspitze itself was first climbed in 1820 and skiers could only reach the glaciers when the train line was inaugurated in 1926. You will have the most spectacular view of the Alps available in Germany, all the way through Austria until Italy, if the weather allows it.

Our snowshoe hike in Ehrwald was an unforgettable experience that we thoroughly enjoyed as a group of four. A particular highlight was our guide Simon, who not only led us safely through the beautiful winter landscape with his friendly and professional manner, but also gave us lots of exciting information about the region. At the end of the tour, he even gave us great tips for other activities in the area, which we were able to do the next day. The weather couldn't have been better - sunny and clear, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The route was varied, offered beautiful panoramas and led us through snow-covered forests and open spaces. The material that was provided was also top-notch. Overall, it was a perfectly organized hike where we were able to enjoy nature and experience the beauty of the Tyrolean Alps to the fullest.

We had an amazing time hiking and talking to Simon. He has a lot to show and share. We hiked around the forest and the ski slopes, and reached a nice lake to admire the views. It is also suitable for beginners like us! Definitely a must do!

Fantastic snowshoeing trip, really enjoyed this. I’ve been snowshoeing for years but this is perfectly appropriate for a beginner. Guide was friendly and shared interesting information about the local area. Highly recommend.

That was very nice! A tour that is easy to do even for inexperienced hikers. Beautiful views!

Nice walk in fantastically beautiful surroundings. Pleasant guide.
