Garmisch Partenkirchen Ski Holidays

Garmisch Partenkirchen is home to 40km of slopes that suit all abilities. The terrain spans across three mountains – the Hausberg, Kreuzeck and Alpspitze, and is well-linked by 17 lifts. The accessible skiing is split into two main areas – the classic area closer to the resort, which lies below the tree line and offers some challenging runs; and the high-altitude glacial ski area where you can find some more gentle pistes. The scenery from the top is absolutely spectacular, and well worth a visit for non-skiers too.

Indulge in Bavarian specialty dishes from a choice of cosy slopeside huts. Expect hearty dishes to fuel you up for a day’s exploring, such as wild game, potato dumplings, warming stews and Schnitzel. We recommend pairing these with a large refreshing stein or a steaming cup of Gluhwein.

There are plenty of attractions to keep non-skiers busy in Garmisch Partenkirchen. Taking the cable car all the way up to the Zugspitze glacier is just as much of a treat on or off your skis, with the breathtaking scenery making for a perfect photo opportunity and the cable ride alone an impressive feat of engineering to admire. There is also a great choice of winter hikes, as well as the options to try snowshoeing and tobogganing.
