About this activity

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.

As soon as we have arrived at the beautiful Eibsee, one of the most beautiful lakes in Bavaria, the new Zugspitz cable car (opened 2017) will take us very close to the highest peak in Germany. During your stay on the plateau you will learn interesting information about the region's history and its role in World War II - plus you will enjoy a tasty traditional lunch inside the Panorama Lounge 2962!

After our "at the top of Germany" experience, we will have a stop in Garmisch-Partenkirchen - the venue of the 1936 Olympic Games. After all we will head back to the agreed starting point or hotel/accommodation!

Itinerary

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.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen

one hour

Back in the valley and on the way towards Garmisch-Partenkirchen, we will make a mandatory stop in Garmisch-Partenkirchen - the venue of the 1936 Olympic Games. While walking through the city, you will find plenty of opportunities to buy presents and souvenirs for those who had to stay home.

45 min

After an exhilarating day atop the Zugspitze, it’s time to sit back and relax as I drive you comfortably back to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Enjoy the stunning alpine scenery one last time as we descend from the peaks and return to the valley below. With my experience in creating seamless private tours, you can unwind completely, knowing every detail of your journey is taken care of.
