Garmisch-Partenkirchen became famous when it hosted the 1936 Winter Olympics. In the summer it attracts climbers and hikers who explore the craggy peaks while the less energetic ride its chairlifts and cableways and appreciate the splendid scenery.

From Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany's highest mountain Zugspitze (2,964 m) can be reached by taking the narrow gauge railway and then a short trip by cable car - well worth the journey to appreciate the magnificent landscape.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen combines the ambience of a traditional Bavarian village with the sophisticated atmosphere of an international resort.
