Hiking: Around Zugspitze

With special comfort on the road around the highest mountain in Germany

At 2,962 metres, the Zugspitze is the highest mountain in Germany, is one the most famous mountain destinations in the Alps and can be easily climbed by cable car. On your hiking tour you circle the Zugspitze, get to know the most beautiful views and head for wonderful hiking destinations.

The crossings of the gorges are adventurous and sensational and impress with their water masses and height.
