Even calendar week
Skiing: Our ski area offers fun for young and old!
1 day
Snow and ice, framed by rock and sky: Passionate winter sports enthusiasts are welcomed by a superlative ski area on the Zugspitze! Thanks to the privileged altitude between 2,000 and 2,720 m, there is plenty of natural snow and bright winter sun half the year, even when the valley disappears under a blanket of fog.
20 km of perfectly groomed slopes offer easy to moderately difficult runs for families and beginners as well as for experienced carvers and snowboarders. The Zugspitze ski area has 3 km of blue slopes and 19 km of red slopes.
The Classic ski area combines the three ski mountains Hausberg, Kreuzeck and Alpspitze and creates a varied ski area with 40 kilometers of slopes and four snow-covered valley runs. Families and less experienced skiers feel comfortable on the predominantly easy to moderately difficult slopes on the local mountain. In the children's area next to the mountain station of the Hausbergbahn, little skiers learn the ABCs of the slopes. Even below the Alpspitz summit, pleasure slopes above the tree line offer the right challenge for every skill level - in front of a panorama that is considered one of the most beautiful in the northern Alps.
Circular hike to the Tannenhütte
2nd day
The circular hike to the Tannenhütte am Wank (950m, with the famous Hackerbrücke - a large suspension bridge) is a varied and panoramic circular hike for the whole family (easy, partly steep and not suitable for strollers).
The view is great and a few stations next to the path as well as a large playground at the hut provide variety.
The path also leads through a sunny pine forest and is also recommended in the colder seasons.
Walking time: Ascent approx. 1:45 h, descent approx. 1:15 h.

- Character: flat path, partly through lightly wooded areas, sun protection necessary
- Marking on the spa route map System Steiner: PH

The snow crunches underfoot. The sun tickles the tip of your nose and far and wide there is the smell of snow and fresh air. This is how your winter hike in Zugspitzland begins. The Philosopher's Path is a comfortable hiking trail with gentle inclines. Ideal for a leisurely winter walk through the snow-covered and romantic landscape.
It's best to start at the Schützenhaus in Partenkirchen. You can easily reach it by car in five minutes or use the free city bus. Why not take a short detour to St. Anton with its beautiful little baroque church from 1708.
The greatest tobogganing fun in Germany
5th day
Swap skis for sleds!
If you're looking for a perfect end to your day on the slopes, or if you'd rather steer a sled down the valley instead of one or two skis, you'll also find wonderful tobogganing opportunities in Germany's highest ski area.
Thanks to the significant expansion of the existing toboggan offerings and comfortable ascent assistance thanks to two chair lifts, there are no limits to the Zipfelbob fun: on the Schneefernerkopf toboggan slope, on the Sonnenkar toboggan run down to the White Valley and on the Wetterwandeck toboggan run, you can gain altitude quickly while sitting, accompanied by great panoramic views.
Feeding wild animals on the Kramerplateauweg
7th day
A fascinating natural spectacle awaits visitors big and small at this unique feeding show. Around 50 deer and calves come from the forest to their feeding place in the winter gate on Kramerplateauweg, Garmisch.
For many, feeding wild animals, one of the oldest in Bavaria, is an integral part of the winter. The local hunter Willi Erhardt awaits the animals with hay and a grass silo, a mixture of roughage and juice feed. The animals eat in peace and then disappear back into the thicket of the forest. Observing this is a special experience, especially for children. The game feeding on the Kramerplateuweg always takes place from Thursday to Sunday between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Admission: adults € 3,00 and children € 1,00. Please note: Dogs must be kept on a leash on the Kramerplateauweg near the game feeding area. In general, dogs are not allowed in the spectator area of the show feeding.

Short hike to the Kochelbergalm
1 day
The Kochelberg-Alm - located 850 meters above sea level - is a popular family excursion destination. It is located on the northern slope of the local mountain on the forest road (natural toboggan run) in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The paths around this mountain hut are ideal for hiking.
The starting point for a hike is directly at our hotel. After half an hour you will reach the starting point for the hike at the Hausbergbahn. After about 20 minutes of walking with a slight climb you will reach your destination.
The Kochelbergalm is an idyllic alpine pasture with a beautiful sun terrace, hearty snacks and homemade cakes. In front of the hut there is a pond with a natural fountain.

The Partnach Gorge in Garmisch-Partenkirchen
4th day
The Partnachklamm is no longer an insider tip. Every year more than 200,000 people visit the gorge, which was opened to tourists in 1912 and declared a natural monument. With a length of around 700 m and a depth of around 80 m, the Partnachklamm is certainly one of the highlights for every visitor to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It is ideal for a short trip or as a starting point for further tours in the Reintal. Although you cannot park your vehicle directly in front of the gorge, you still have the opportunity to easily reach the gorge with one of the carriages available.
Meter-long icicles rise from the steep rock faces and grow together to form huge ice walls. Crystal-clear, centimeter-thick layers of ice ooze out of the rock as if by magic, and just a few meters from your feet, the icy and seemingly evergreen Partnach dances between ice-covered boulders and icicles. In winter you should pay particular attention to thick clothing, because a warm ray of sunshine rarely finds its way down into this icy landscape. The paths in the Partnachklamm are easy to walk on even in winter with sure-footed footwear.
Tobogganing at Eckbauer
5th day
This Bavarian winter tour in Garmisch-Partenkirchen does not require a strenuous climb and is therefore suitable for everyone, even those without a lot of fitness. The Eckbauerbahn takes you up to 1,230 m and you can then enjoy lots of tobogganing fun.
It starts from the valley station of the Eckbauerbahn directly across the street from the hotel, directly at the parking lot of the Olympia Ski Stadium, from there you can easily drive up.
You can rent minibobs and sledges from us.
From the mountain station you can toboggan along the slopes over flat and steep passages into the valley. You will definitely want to repeat this fun more often.
Cow Escape Farchant
6th 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.
Cross-country skiing, directly from the hotel
7th day
Cross-country skiing in Garmisch-Partenkirchen is more than just an endurance sport. The fantastic mountain landscape, the clear air and the wintry silence make the approximately 28 km of our cross-country ski trails a sensual experience. You glide gently past snow-covered treetops and peaks and right into the wonderful Alpine panorama. Pure moments of happiness.
You can start directly from us, just 100 meters away there is a beautiful circuit that even beginners, whether skaters or classic runners, can master.
And afterwards: relaxation and recovery in our wellness area!
