Garmisch-Partenkirchen is open for skiing from late November right through April.

The resort is divided into three ski areas: the Garmisch ski area, the Zugspitze glacier, and the Osterfelderkopf.

These ski areas combined contain 43 slopes serviced by 38 lifts, some 57km (36 miles) of groomed ski runs in the resort and a total of 254km (159 miles) in the region.

The main ski slopes at Garmisch-Partenkirchen are in the classic area, which combines Alpspitze, Kreuzeck and Hausberg.

The high-altitude Zugspitz area on the glacier has stirring views right across the Alps far into Italy and Switzerland as well as Austria. 

As only half the mountain is in Germany, there are also Austrian ski slopes to consider - at Ehrwald, Lermoos, Berwang/Namlos, Bichlbach, Biberwier and Heiterwang am See (The Tiroler Zugspitz Arena).

These Austrian resorts, along with Seefeld and Mittenwald, can all be skied on the so-called ‘Happy Ski’ Card.

Snowboarders can have a blast on the Zugspitze.

We will be happy to assist you in ski, boot or snowboard hire as well as arranging courses with English speaking ski or snowboard instructors should you require them, contact us for current price information.
