Garmisch - Partenkirchen
Garmisch Partenkirchen is one of the most popular resorts in the area - for good reason. These two towns form the German alpine resort you're probably imagining when you think of skiing or hiking in Germany, with breathtaking mountain views and typical German architecture everywhere.
Don't miss out on a side trip to Partnach-klamm, a gorge with tunnels where kids will love the wild rush of the mountain streams and Zugspitze, Germany's tallest mountain. Even if you don't ski, there's bobsledding in the winter and hiking in the summer. To really enjoy the place, make sure everyone has good hiking shoes.
