Ascending the Zugspitze – The Roof of Germany

Garmisch-Partenkirchen – Alpine Tradition & Village Life
Back in the valley, explore Garmisch-Partenkirchen, one of Bavaria’s most famous mountain towns. Stroll through charming streets lined with traditional houses, painted façades, and local shops, while learning about the town’s role as a historic Alpine gateway and former Olympic host.
