Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a lovely German ski resort town. The painted buildings and quaint town are fun to stroll around. It's easy proximity to Munich is another plus and a very easy train ride away.

This was a return visit for our ski group because we were so enamored by it 7 years ago. The local skiing has something for everyone, and the Zugspitze experience is breathtaking (literally) for both skiers and tourists. The Garmisch side of town has great modern shops and restaurants and the quaint Partenkirchen side transports you back in time. They... More

Spent two weeks skiing in Austria and Germany. GM grooming is entirely insufficient for Spring conditions. Limited on-mountain facilities. Next time we will stick with the much better Austrian and Swiss resorts.

As a perfect Bavarian village representation, at Garmisch-Partenkirchen itself you can live a travelers gourmet pristine dream of an Alps vacation, but add the skiing at the Zugspitze and you have an experience you will remember and treasure for the rest of your life on this planet. "The Sound of Music" photography will have nothing on you and what you... More

We've just spent a long weekend here. My son is an expert boarder, I'm an intermediate skier. Our first day it was cold and cloudy and we went up the Zugspitz. The snow there was beautiful due to the altitude and the pistes were largely empty with no lift queues. The pistes were all blue to red but no poling... More

The Classic area is Easy to get to by road or rail. Good red runs and two very good blacks, Kandehar and Horn. Not too many beginner slopes though. Piste 16 can be fantastic after snowfalls, no snow machines on this run, unfortunately it has a T-bar lift so no rest for tires legs. Lots of restaurants and prices are... More

beautiful runs, and don't miss the kandahar run, it is wonderful, quite long and difficult. Covered chairlifts are also a great bonus in this ski area .
