Rent a holiday flat Zugspitzland

The highest mountain in Germany and much more

If you want to spend your holidays in Bavaria under Germany's highest mountain, Zugspitzland is the place to be. The term does not denote an administrative institution or geohistorically based region, but rather a location marketing and regional management initiative on the German side of the border. The name was inspired by the Zugspitze at 2962 metres in the municipality of Grainau on the border with Austria. The unofficial capital is the market town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Zugspitze, and the jewel of Werdenfelser Land, the striking pyramid of Alpspitze, attract all eyes. There are many opportunities in the region to explore the grandiose panorama with the world-famous duo. For summit strikers, the mountain giants in particular are objects of desire. The Zugspitz ascent or the via ferrata of the Alpspitz-Ferrata are classics and the crowning glory of many touring books. Two of many examples of routes through the limestone cliffs of Zugspitzland that make alpinists' hearts beat faster, but also require skill and the right equipment.

Up to 1000 metres into the airy nothingness. Inexperienced climbers are better off in the care of a mountain guide, who can also tell them a lot about the flora and fauna of the alpine Zugspitz world. Leisurely climbers are also welcome to use one of the numerous mountain railways. For those who like to get to the top of Germany: take a leisurely ride on the rack railway or try out the new record-breaking cable car. The view from the Zugspitze summit stretches more than 200 kilometres on a clear day. Incidentally, Germany's only glacier is also located here! Since 2010, visitors to the "AlpspiX" can enjoy the mountain world as safely as spectacularly. The two steel viewing platforms rise eight metres into the airy void at the Alpspitzbahn mountain station - 1,000 metres above the abyss. High feelings with a view of the Zugspitze!

Unique mountain scenery. On sunny paths over colourful mountain meadows, past lush green alpine pastures, ingeniously vertical in climbing gardens or on secured routes: The Zugspitze region can offer alpine experiences for every ability and every condition. Everywhere you will find cosy mountain huts that invite you to enjoy a refreshing and invigorating break during a day tour. Pure nature, crystal-clear water and a unique mountain backdrop - that's what Grainau advertises. It nestles directly on the Zugspitze and lies only six kilometres southwest of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Relaxation in Grainau is guaranteed by the magnificent mountain world of the Bavarian Alps alone, which can be enjoyed to the fullest here in summer and winter: hiking or cycling in front of a grandiose panorama, Alpine relaxation in natural wellness oases, swimming in clear mountain lakes or winter fun, skiing and tobogganing in the glistening snow.

Boccia and historic bowling alley. Germany's No.1 winter sports resort, meanwhile, is Garmisch-Partenkirchen. A selection of the other numerous advantages: Premium class climatic health resort, model municipality for electric mobility, historic town centres, Olympic sports facilities, the world's most modern ski jump, outstanding cultural and sporting events and venue of the 2011 Alpine Ski World Championships. Those who appreciate moments of tranquillity and inner contemplation must visit the Michael Ende Spa Park as an oasis of calm. Surrounded by old gnarled trees, magnificent flowerbeds and a colourful water lily pond, it is a wonderful place to relax and read, enjoy the silence or dream away the day. Numerous seating areas, garden chess, boccia and the historic bowling alley invite you to linger. The barefoot path promises a sensual experience for the feet. Here, the holidaymaker walks under shady deciduous trees over pricking pine cones, gently shaped river pebbles and soft moss. A journey of experience that stimulates the senses, strengthens the foot muscles and at the same time promotes a sense of balance. In summer, the silence is briefly interrupted - daily live concerts from classical music to big band sound attract visitors to the spa shell. Otherwise, the 35,000 square metre park with its 40,000 plants belongs entirely to leisure and relaxation.

Where Strauss went from holidaymaker to resident. Richard Strauss also sought summer relaxation in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Born in Munich, however, he had a villa built in his favourite place in 1908 - as a summer residence. Soon the villa, which is still privately owned and not open to the public, became the main residence of Richard Strauss and his family - and remained so until his death in 1949. The Richard Strauss Institute commemorates this time and the great composer. It regularly organises exhibitions and lectures and has a veritable treasure trove of Strauss literature and recordings at its disposal. A virtual tour of the Strauss Villa is also possible.

The best for the end: with the ZugspitzCard and the ZugspitzCardGold, Zugspitzland is almost all inclusive, all year round. Mountain railways, museums, swimming pools and much more can be enjoyed free of charge or at reduced rates by holidaymakers with the two ZugspitzCards. By the way: There is a wide selection of holiday flats - from simple to exclusive.
