Enjoy an exclusive excursion - without other participants - to the plateau of the Zugspitze (2,962 metres) glacier. The trip starts in the morning, with pick up at your Garmisch-Partenkirchen accommodation. Cool drinks will be waiting for you in a comfortable vehicle.

    Stop 1

    45 min

    Our half-day adventure begins in the morning with a personal pick-up from your accommodation in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Step into a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle — stocked with cool drinks and light snacks to make the ride as enjoyable as the scenery around you. As we make our way toward Grainau, the Bavarian Alps unfold in all their glory. Towering peaks, verdant valleys, and charming alpine villages set the stage for an unforgettable day. Along the way, we’ll pass the stunning countryside that makes this region so iconic, with opportunities to admire sweeping mountain vistas and tranquil forests. Soon, we arrive at the base of Germany’s highest peak, the Zugspitze, where your alpine adventure truly begins. Whether ascending by cable car or exploring the summit, breathtaking panoramas await — from snow-capped peaks to the sparkling lakes below, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
