Experience the grandeur of the Bavarian Alps on this full-day private journey to the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain at 2,962 meters. Combining spectacular Alpine scenery, an unforgettable cable car ascent, and traditional Bavarian culture, this tour offers a truly elevated perspective on southern Germany’s natural beauty.
Your day begins with private pickup from Munich, Murnau, Oberammergau, Füssen, or nearby regions. As you travel toward the Alps, the landscape gradually transforms from rolling countryside into dramatic mountain terrain. Forested valleys, traditional villages, and towering peaks create a striking introduction to Bavaria’s Alpine heartland.
At the foot of the Zugspitze, arrive at the crystal-clear Eibsee, whose turquoise waters reflect the surrounding mountains. From here, board the state-of-the-art Zugspitze cable car and ascend nearly 2,000 meters in just minutes, soaring above cliffs, forests, and glaciers. At the summit, step onto Germany’s highest point and enjoy panoramic views stretching across hundreds of Alpine peaks in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy.
Explore the Zugspitze glacier plateau, visit the historic weather station, and take in the crisp mountain air. A highlight of the visit is time at the Panorama Lounge 2962, Germany’s highest restaurant, where you can enjoy a traditional Bavarian meal accompanied by extraordinary views.
On the return to the valley, the tour continues with a stop in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a classic Bavarian mountain town and host of the 1936 Winter Olympics. Stroll through its charming streets, admire traditional painted houses, and enjoy free time to explore local shops and cafés.
This tour offers comfort, flexibility, and a carefully curated itinerary—an effortless way to experience Bavaria from its highest and most breathtaking vantage point.
