Overview

The Zugspitze is Germany's tallest peak and home to a stunning view of five countries, a glacier, a border between Austria and Germany, and an amazing cable car ride that brings you to the peak in under ten minutes. This tour is a stress free way to learn about the unique history of the mountain, engineering, and environment of an Alpine peak that is just under ten thousand feet. Our guides have been bringing people to the Zugspitze for over nine years and will be there every step of the tour showing you the amazing views, history, and fun of Germany's tallest mountain.

We meet at the central train station in Garmisch-Partenkirchen just inside the main lobby next to the small coffee shop.

Local tour from a local

Jim, our guide, showed us the mainstream and off the beaten path highlights of the Garmisch-Partenkirchen towns. You could tell he loves where he lives and what he does. I highly recommend him.

Our tour guide was great!...

Amazing day at Zugspitze

Published on Jun, 2023

Our guide, Jake, from all things Garmisch, was amazing. We had a great day, and his knowledge of history is unbelievable. We had perfect weather too. Such a memorable day. We are so glad we booked this tour.

Zugspitze, a must do

Published on Jun, 2023

Jim was fantastic, you couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. He has an incredible knowledge of the area's history and general knowledge. He was very accommodating and if we had any things that we particularly wanted to see he insured that we saw or did them. He made suggestions of beautiful photos to take and fun photos to do. From the time that the tour company contacted us they were helpful and kept in contact with us, using whatsapp or email for contact with us. We highly recommend this tour to anyone. An excellent tour.
