About Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is two towns that were merged by decree in 1936 to help win the Winter Olympics. The Zugspitze, 2,962 metres, is the draw: a cogwheel train from the station takes about an hour and twenty minutes, and nine lifts serve the Zugspitzplatt, which is Germany's highest ski area. The Partnachklamm gorge is 702 metres long and over 80 metres deep, and it is open all year. Evenings are a handful of pubs and a bar with dancing. Our homes are spread over about two kilometres and are mostly small, typically sleeping four in one bedroom, and many have a garden. None has a sauna or pool.
Is Garmisch-Partenkirchen right for you?
- Best for
- Skiers and walkers wanting the Zugspitze on the doorstep
- Not for you if
- You want a sauna or pool at home, as none of our homes here has either.
