Summer high

Now it's here! The ideal time to get up close and personal with the mountains. Reach high. Conquer peaks. Breathe in the mountain air. Thanks to summer. Or stay down in the valley. It's wonderful here, too. Fresh greenery. Cool water. There's so much to experience! For young and old. Active types and those who enjoy life. In short: everyone who's drawn to summery Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Long live summer! And we with it.

Quiet forests. Blooming alpine meadows. Romantic lakes and rushing mountain streams. Crowned by majestic peaks. A dreamlike landscape. One of the most charming in the Bavarian Alps. The Wetterstein Mountains. The Karwendel. An El Dorado for particularly impressive hikes. Over 300 km of hiking trails beckon. Some are easy and enjoyable. Others are strenuous and strenuous. It's good that refreshments are also provided at the many alpine pastures and huts in the area.

Extras for our guests
We'll lend you our boss! As your hiking guide for a day. A different tour every week. After all, Mr. Staudacher knows the best places to visit. Every Thursday until November 29th.
Over hill and dale with poles. Many things are easier that way. We have a pair of Nordic walking poles for you. Free of charge, of course!
Hiking and yoga. We offer the two in combination. Get fit and rejuvenated in the mountains. Together with yoga instructor Cristian. Why not try hiking yoga for yourself? Every Sunday until September 30th.

Dive in. Into cool water. Where it's most beautiful. In the fresh, crystal-clear waters of a mountain lake. There are several options in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area: in Pflegersee, Riessersee, Geroldsee, or Eibsee. Beautiful natural pools for a relaxing day of swimming. And for a warming bath in the sun. Views of the magnificent natural scenery are standard everywhere here. Summer, that's how I like you!

Quiet lakes. Bubbling streams. That's exactly where they feel at home. The fish that anglers catch in the waters around Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Patience and skill are required, of course. And you also need a fishing license. Then you can certainly make a magnificent catch.

Fly! You don't have to be a ski jumper to do it in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. In summer, anyone can take off here. Feel what it's like. And land safely again. The Flying Fox makes it possible. A rapid descent into the valley. Safely secured on a wire rope. 270 meters through the air. Thrills are guaranteed. And yet the fun outweighs everything. For young and old. Because everyone can fly here.

Tobogganing in the summer? It's possible. In Garmisch-Partenkirchen, tobogganing doesn't necessarily require snow. Just the summer toboggan run. Right next to the ski stadium. Twelve curves, 850 meters long. That sounds like fun. And speed. You'll zoom toward the finish at speeds of up to 60 km/h. It's good that you're well secured in the sled. And you can also take it slower, if you feel like it.

Now it's time to celebrate! With everything that goes with it. Parades, traditional costume groups, Schuhplattler dances. Of course, beer tents and traditional music too. A living tradition. It's been a tradition for more than half a century. It's celebrated every year. First in Garmisch. Then in Partenkirchen. Plenty of opportunities to join in the celebrations up close. Always in July or August.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen is dedicated to classical music. In honor of the great Richard Strauss. Extraordinary sound experiences. International orchestras. And some of the most famous voices in classical music. A top-class festival that attracts music lovers from all over the world.

Midsummer bonfires in the mountains. On the longest day of the year. Always in June. A beautiful custom. With a long tradition. We're celebrating too! With a Midsummer bonfire right in our garden. And with you. Admittedly, it's not as spectacular as a mountain bonfire on the Zugspitze. But we'll be having a barbecue. Until at least 22 p.m. The spa and garden area will remain open that long. It'll be fun!
