It is not easy to find a day to visit the Zugspitz because it is so often covered in cloud which means the view is zero. Weh you are there you get a wonderful view over Germany and Austria. Good restaurant for a hot drink....More

Cog train is fun. Views are beautiful. Brats or grilled sausages, pretzels and beer for sale at peak or at summit. Saw tandem parachuters jumping off Zugspitz. Amazing!!!

Visiting the Zugspitze is wonderful anytime of year. I have visited in every weather and season. My favorite in Bavaria is to stay outside of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and visit the very small neighboring towns to experience the culture of Bavaria and less tourists. The views from...More

Great activity on a clear day...can see the beautiful Alps all around. The cog-wheel train up the mountain was a fun experience. You can be in both Austria and Germany at the same time! The summit has a beautiful cafe to enjoy a coffee and...More

The day we went to the Zugspitze was extremely cloudy. Therefore, when we got to the top we didn't get to see the spectacular views. However, I still highly recommend going! The ride up with the train was amazing! You literally go through the mountain....More

A steep rack and pinion ( cog wheel ) electric train into the heart of the mountain terminating about 400 feet below the summit where one transfers into a cable car for the final climb. Fantastic on a sunny day - unfortunately we were shrouded...More

We bought a ticket that allowed us to visit two mountains. Quite expensive but when you look at the infrastructure that is involved it is actually good value. Unfortunately the cable car was out of action as it is being replaced so we had to...More
