Keeping your feet still? That's hardly possible here! In the magnificent Hiking area around Garmisch-Partenkirchen – without a doubt one of the most charming in the Bavarian Alps. And it's no wonder! Where else can you find such a backdrop and peaks with such magnificent views? Not to be forgotten: Germany's highest mountain: The ZugspitzeFrom the valley floors up to lofty heights – the Werdenfelser Land boasts numerous hiking trails. All in all, you'll certainly have plenty to do. Hiking enthusiasts have 300 kilometers of marked trails at their disposal. Even with good fitness, this cannot be done in a single vacation. Our motto: take it slow. Come more often and enjoy individual mountain tours more consciously. And hike as the seasons change. For example, during the awakening of spring, when the peaks are still gleaming white, but the valleys are already glowing in lush green. The perfect time for beautiful valley hikes, jogging, or Nordic walking. The Staudacherhof offers poles for borrowing for this purpose. Free of charge – one of the many extras the hotel offers. Like the loaner backpack in every room. Or the option to set off on a tour with a well-filled picnic backpack. The icing on the cake of your hiking experience in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

On Sundays, at 11am, India meets Bavaria, Himalaya meets Zugspitze, or rather, the local mountain. Hiking Yoga with Cristian on the program! Just a 5-minute bike ride from the Staudacherhof is the local mountain. You'll hike up there and then practice yoga on a mountain meadow. What an experience!

Cristian has a healthy snack and water in his pack for his yogis to enjoy afterward. This is probably the most beautiful yoga class Garmisch has to offer!

Suddenly, the path or the summit is no longer the destination. It's what grows along the way. In the blooming mountain meadow. It's hard to believe what you can eat! What can be made into teas or tinctures. Our herbal educator Ursula is a walking herbal encyclopedia. She shows you what grows where. How to collect, store, and process it. Every week, every Tuesday, from May to October, she takes our guests into the mountains. On one of her impressive herbal hikes. Afterwards, you'll see nature with different eyes!

It's impressive what there is to experience in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The diversity is fascinating. There are also some real highlights waiting for you! In the truest sense of the word. Germany's highest mountain? It's right here.

Of course, you can climb the Zugspitze on foot. But it's more comfortable to take the train. Up there, you can hike directly on the glacier plateau. This glacier hike is suitable for everyone. Eternal ice beneath your feet, over 300 peaks before your eyes. Simply breathtaking! And not just because of the thin air at almost 3.000 meters.

Not frozen solid, but no less impressive: the wild waters of the Höllental and Partnach Gorges. Impressive gorges with bizarre rock formations. Fascinating natural monuments, created over millennia by roaring water. A truly impressive experience!

Nature isn't behind the royal palace on Schachen, but rather the work of eccentric human hands. The legendary King Ludwig II immortalized himself here, with his little castle high up in the mountains. It's styled like a Swiss chalet on the outside. Inside, oriental splendor amidst the Bavarian mountains: The Turkish Hall – a dream! Climbing the Jubiläumsgrat – that's also the way up there, by the way.
