Garmisch-Partenkirchen: Guide
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is in Bavaria.
Understand
Garmisch-Partenkirchen was founded by uniting the two towns of Garmisch and Partenkirchen by a decree of Adolf Hitler to bring the 1936 Winter Olympics to Germany. The International Olympic Committee was going to pass over Germany as the host, because there were not enough hotel rooms in the host town, so Hitler forced the unification of Garmisch and Partenkirchen to create a larger town, which would be more appealing to the IOC.
Get in
Garmisch is less than an hour by car from Munich, and the ride is a beautiful stretch of Autobahn, unfortunately not the whole way. Expect to drive up to three hours on weekends and public holydays.
Also, trains leave to and from Munich every hour, and the (beautiful) ride lasts roughly 80-90 minutes.
Get around
See
Partnachklamm
The river Partnach flows through this gorge. Though it is very touristy and often crowded it is well worth a visit. After 700m the path chiselled in the rock end and you can continue your walk to one of the surrounding huts. If you arrive by car follow the signs to the Skistation (2,50 € for parking). The entrance fee to the Klamm is 2 € per person.
Do
Alpine Sports
Garmisch-Partenkirchen boasts some of the best skiing in Germany. Located at the base of the countries tellest mountain, year round glacial snow is guaranteed. The "Happy Ski Pass" can be purchesed for use of four ski areas in that area in both Austria and Germany: Seefeld, Mittenwald, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the region "Tiroler Zugspitz Arena". The pass starts at 88 € and offers 3 to 21 day of skiing, 4 of 6 days and 5 of 10.
