An incredibly popular hang-out for outdoorsy types, skiing fans and day-trippers from Munich,
the double-barrelled resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen is blessed with a
fabled setting a snowball’s throw from the Alps. To say you ‘wintered
in Garmisch’ still has an aristocratic ring, and the area offers some
of the best skiing in the land, including runs on Germany’s highest
peak, the Zugspitze (2964m).
The
towns of Garmisch and Partenkirchen were merged for the 1936 Winter
Olympics and, to this day, host international skiing events. Each
retains its own distinct character: Garmisch has a more 21st-century
feel, while Partenkirchen has retained its old-world Alpine village
vibe.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen also
makes a handy base for excursions to Ludwig II’s palaces, including
nearby Schloss Linderhof and the lesser-known Jagdschloss Schachen, as
well as Oberammergau and even, at a push, Neuschwanstein and
Hohenschwangau castles.
