Winter hikes in the Zugspitze Region

The Zugspitze region is characterised by its picturesque panoramic trails. They reward athletes with expansive views of the surrounding valleys. This is the case, among others, with the "Winter Hike - Geizenmoos". The trail is 12 kilometres long and will take you around 3 hours. You hike through a wintry moor landscape and at the same time enjoy a clear view of the Ammergau mountains. The route is relatively flat, as you only have to climb 100 metres of altitude. The "Winter hike around the Eibsee near Grainau" is scenically interesting. As the name suggests, you walk along and around the shore of the lake. The Eibsee is located at the foot of the Zugspitze, which gives you a view of it during your winter hike. The trail is 7 kilometres long and should take around 2.5 hours to complete.

If you are feeling adventurous, you will find exciting winter hiking trails for varied tours around the Zugspitze. The route "Winterwanderdern: Partnachklamm and Warnberg from Garmisch-Partenkirchen" is particularly worth a trip. Here you will pass the icy Partnachklamm gorge and be enchanted by it. In the narrow valley you will feel as if you are in a fairytale land. The gorge is 702 metres long and 80 metres deep - to walk through it you have to pay a small fee. The entire hike is 10.9 kilometres long. It takes about 4 hours and is one of the more difficult winter hiking tours. Make sure you have sturdy shoes and a good level of fitness beforehand. One of the easier and shorter winter hiking trails is the "Winterwanderung zur Ederkanzel bei Mittenwald". It is only 4.7 kilometres long, so you will need a little more than 2 hours to complete the route. In the Ederkanzel mountain inn you can fortify yourself after the winter hikes and enjoy the beautiful panorama at the same time. If you want to climb the Zugspitze as part of the winter hiking tours you should dress warmly and bring sturdy shoes. It is windy and cold on the mountain, so you should always take gloves and hats with you.

If you want to get a taste of culture and culinary delights away from the winter hiking trails, you have the opportunity to do so in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The ski resort offers a wide range of leisure activities. If you are interested in historical architecture, you should definitely visit the Old Parish Church of St. Martin. It was once the only church for the Loisach and Isar valleys. Today it still shines in the Romanesque-Gothic style. The Richard Strauss Institute scores with an unusual architectural style. This is a musicological research institution, a concert venue and a composer museum. The Kongresshaus Garmisch-Partenkirchen is also important for the region. It is the largest event centre in the Bavarian Alpine region. The Aschenbrenner Museum and the Historische Ludwigstrasse in the old town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen are also worth a visit.
