No other 3-day hike offers as much versatility as the Zugspitze Tour from Garmisch-Partenkirchen. In addition to the German Alps, this multi-day hike leads you through the Austrian Alps and is completely centered around the Zugspitze. At an impressive 2,962 meters, this is the highest mountain in Germany. A peak that the true mountain hiker should therefore not miss.

Through the Partnach Gorge, the Reintal Valley and the sharp ridge you move yourself from hut to hut until you reach the summit. With good weather you can see 250 kilometers far and even see the Grossglockner in Austria. The huts where you spend the night are unique and will complete your trek. Pack your backpack, and will we see you at the top?
