Full description
Enjoy a day in the German Alps on a full-day excursion from Munich to the Zugspitze. You’ll travel to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where you’ll take a cable car up the 2962 meters to the summit of Germany’s tallest peak. The Zugspitze marks the international border between Germany and Austria. In fact there are lifts from both countries that meet at the top of the mountain. In addition restaurants and shops at the summit, there are also telescopes available. From the top you’ll have breathtaking views of the Alps which seem to stretch on forever. You’ll take a break for lunch at a small mountain hut, where you’ll also have lovely views over the peaks of the Alps and even into the Munich area. After lunch you’ll jump from Germany into Austria (no passport necessary). You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a beer in Germany’s highest beer garden! The final highlight of the tour is a round-trip ride through the mountains on a cog-wheel train.

Zugspitze was amazing. It actually snowed while we were up there on August 29. It’s like an entirely different world once you cross above the tree line. The transportation was comfortable, better than a huge bus in my opinion. The guide was also very helpful. I definitely recommend this tour.

Mario was a fantastic tour guide for our family. He is knowledgeable about the area, the history of Munich, and the process of getting up the cable car. Mario was also very friendly and genuinely cared about our experience at the mountain, asking if we enjoyed our time there and what our favorite part was. I highly recommend this tour if your visiting Munich and want to go to the mountains with an experienced and friendly guide.

Mario was a great guide! He came on time and got us to Zugspitze quick and safely. 4 hours there was plenty of time to go to the summit, grab a beer, explore the glacier and go to the lake. We stopped by a small Bavarian town for an hour on the way home as well. Would highly recommend this tour!
