Bathing day in the Kainzenbad
1 day
Relax and visit the Kainzenbad natural outdoor pool not far from the hotel…
About 10 minutes from the hotel to the Kainzenbad. In addition to a diving board, a sunny lawn, children's slides and a paddling pool, you can expect a shady sandpit and a large beach volleyball area. There are also table tennis tables and a nice beach cafe.
If you live with us, you have free entry here as often as you want.
Alpine coasters
2nd day
A day in a children's paradise with the whole family.
The mountain playground at the Kolbensattelhütte is a very special kind of playground! The wide view over the Ammertal forms the backdrop for an adventure playground, for which play equipment was specially developed to bring children closer to nature and the mountains in a playful way.
The trace gyro is a balance exercise for the little ones. Arranged in a spiral, spruce trunks are anchored in the ground at wide intervals and are crowned with animal depictions of local mountain cattle. A sturdy rope serves as a balancing aid from one trunk to the other.
Another climbing frame gives children the feeling of gymnastics around in a mountain giant's Mikado game. The large logs appear to be lying in a haphazard heap, but they are stable and securely mounted.
The Alpine Coaster at Kolbensattel in Oberammergau offers fun and action for the whole family. From the Kolbensattelhütte you go 2,600 meters long into the valley with breathtaking views and adventurous curves.
Children are only allowed to use the Alpine Coaster from the age of 3 (proof of age required). Children aged 8 and over and 1.40 m tall are allowed to ride the Alpine Coaster alone.
Please ask at reception for prices.
Kolben chairlift and Alpine Coaster
AlpspiX viewing platform and summit adventure trail
4th day
Since July 2010, the Garmisch-Classic adventure world has been promising spectacular new mountain experiences with the AlpspiX viewing platform and the summit adventure trail.
Around 50 meters above the mountain station of the Alpspitzbahn, the two steel arms of the AlpspiX, each 24 meters long, rise 13 meters above nothingness. The two viewing platforms' walkways, which are up to 3 meters wide, will get your adrenaline pumping: the floor is made of grating so that the snow can fall through in winter. At the end of the construction, visitors reach a glass wall and have a sensational view of the nearby rock faces, the breathtaking mountain panorama and almost 1000 meters into the depths. The over 700-meter-long circuit of the summit adventure trail, which is suitable for strollers, beckons with curious, interesting and spectacular “high-altitude moments” for young and old. Along the way, those interested will find 9 information points and interactive stations on flora, fauna and geology. Thanks to the two free highlights of the adventure world, families with children, seniors and less sure-footed guests can now experience the mountain world easily, comfortably and safely.
Round trip to the Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany
5th day
Top of Germany! The Zugspitze…
Without exaggeration: the 2,962 meter high Zugspitze is a mountain of superlatives. The largest elevation in Germany is home to three glaciers, a unique 360° panorama with Alpine peaks from four countries and an attractive range of experiences. A summer day on the Zugspitze gives you mountains full of possibilities: let your gaze wander up to 250 km into the distance, visit the historical Zugspitze exhibition, go on an exciting glacier hike or go tobogganing on natural snow.
This is how you can experience the complete mountain experience in comfort: the cog railway takes you from Garmisch-Partenkirchen Zugspitz station to the idyllic Eibsee. The ascent with the Eibsee cable car offers spectacular views of the lake, before the enormous panorama at the Zugspitze summit opens up new horizons. With the glacier railway you reach the Zugspitz glacier at 2,600 meters before the cog railway takes you comfortably through the Zugspitz tunnel back to the starting point. Round thing!
Fabulous mountain forest
6th day
Adventure trail Grainau
The fabulous mountain forest beneath the Waxensteins is fun for the whole family. Turmangerblick, Königswald and Bärenwald, the Jägerstand and Poachererschluf are just a few of the stops that you can explore in a playful way. Not to forget the numerous legends and stories surrounding the Höllental. A brochure with all the legends and stations is available free of charge from the tourist information center. The walking time is approx. 2 hours, the route is 3 km long with slight inclines. There are always opportunities for small snack breaks along the entire route.
Route
The starting point for the adventure trail is the bus stop in Hammersbach. Here a climbing path takes you uphill through the forest to the first station “Turmangerblick”. To get to the next stations, follow the path through the mountain forest. The circular route includes a total of 14 stations with fabulous stories and places to play, rest or have a snack. In the middle of the path (near the information board) you can take a short detour to the Neuneralm. Here you also have the opportunity to get back to the center of Obergrainau. After the 14th and final stop “Ghost Trodel”, the circular route ends at the Hammersbacher Marienkapelle.

Hike through the Höllentalklamm
2nd day
The start is in Hammersbach and can be reached in 20 minutes by car from Garmisch. It is also possible to take the Zugspitzbahn to Hammersbach or cycle from the hotel across the meadows in around 30 minutes.
A very special natural spectacle awaits parents and children on the hike through the Höllentalklamm. The hike through the Höllentalklamm is a welcome change for families near Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The path through the Höllentalklamm opens up a part of wild mountain nature and is damp and slippery in places. Families should therefore be careful when visiting the gorge.
Safety is important!
Although the entire, more than 1 km long, path through the Höllentalklamm is well insured, sturdy shoes and, ideally, ankle-high hiking boots are the best precaution. Younger children should be kept a close eye on this hike and should be held by the hand. An extra fuse may also make sense.
Hiking next to roaring water masses. The climb through the Höllentalklamm takes parents and children impressively alongside the Hammersbach. Even on sunny, warm days, the gorge is cool and refreshing thanks to the roaring water masses. In places in the Höllentalklamm it is unavoidable that you get wet. That's why it's helpful to have waterproof clothing with you when hiking on cooler days.
Refreshments for hungry hikers
After about 45 minutes, families reach the end of the Höllentalklamm. The path continues to the Höllentalangerhütte, which is idyllically located on a green valley floor. From the hut, families can enjoy the wonderful panorama of the Waxstein, the Riffelspitzen and the Höllentafferner with the Zugspitze (2964 m) behind it.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen climbing forest
3rd day
12 courses with 130 spectacular and unique climbing elements are waiting for you. From 3 m high to 17 m in the tops of the mountain forest. There is the right course for everyone here. The climbing forest is located on Wank and can be easily reached by car in 5 minutes or with the free city bus.
Trip to the Eibsee below the Zugspitze
4th day
The clear mountain lake can be reached by car in about 30 minutes. You can also use the Eibseebus or the Zugspitzbahn.
A trip with the motorboat “Resi” is recommended. If you are good on foot you can walk around the lake in 2 hours.
There is also a boat rental with a “slide pedal boat”! The kiosk by the lake offers very fine fish, with giant pretzels and drinks.
Cow Escape Farchant
5th day
In the nature and recreation park the name says it all. This is primarily about slowing down, relaxing and spending time in nature.
The forest nature trail provides all sorts of interesting information about forests with its exciting stations. The Farchanter village mascot, the FarchAnderl, accompanies guests young and old on this path. Balancing tree, forest school, jumping pit and tree telephone are just some of the many stations where you can get active.
The Cowhide Waterfalls are a group of three waterfalls. The three fall levels add up to approx. 270 m and are therefore among the highest in Germany. There are 100 meters of elevation gain from the lower to the upper Kuhfuge Bridge that have to be overcome before you stand in front of the thundering waterfalls.
Suitable for strollers.
Family trip to Pflegersee
6th day
The picturesque Pflegersee is a popular excursion destination at any time of the year. The Pflegersee lies idyllically at an altitude of 845 meters at the foot of the mighty Königsstand on the one hand and quiet forest and hiking trails on the other. The proximity to the ruins of Werdenfels Castle, which is only one kilometer away, makes the Pflegersee a beautiful destination, especially for families with a thirst for adventure. You can cool down after a discovery tour.
Of course, this also applies to hikers and Nordic walkers who like to start at Pflegersee. In the natural pool, a kiosk supplies visitors with ice cream, snacks and drinks. The lake's moor water is said to have a healing effect on skin and hair. Rowing boats and a small jetty are also available.
Excursion to the Leutaschen ghost gorge
7th day
The Leutascher Geistklamm in Austria can be reached by car in about 25 minutes.
The legend of the gorge spirit
The legend tells of a ghost who lives deep down in the gorge at the end of the Leutasch Valley. For centuries people believed it was a spirit that descended from the mountains and hid in the inaccessible gorge. Others were of the opinion that it was a demon who, as a supernatural being, guards the exit of the Leutasch Valley to the north together with goblins. These goblins used to dance at night to wondrous music, which becomes a true fortissimo, especially in spring, when the Leutascher Ache is full of meltwater.
Unfortunately, the narrow gorge path is not suitable for strollers and dogs. You should definitely have a head for heights!
