IV Winter Olympic Games

In 1936, Garmisch-Partenkirchen hosted an interesting sporting event - the IV Winter Olympic Games.

Interestingly, Partenkirchen is the older part, built on the site of the Partanum military camp founded by ancient Rome. Partanum in those days stood on the road between Venice and Augsburg (a modern Bavarian city, one of the oldest German cities, the capital of Swabia).

Richard Strauss

Also, from the Second World War onwards, the great German composer Richard Strauss lived in Garmisch for 40 years, and he is buried here.

Zugspitze Arena

Garmisch is also considered a climatic resort.

Pixelteufel/Garmisch, old town

Garmisch-Partenkirchen is located in a valley, surrounded by beautiful mountains - the Bavarian Alps. There are quite a few points and peaks in the area, but the most famous is Mt. Its summit is neither more nor less than the highest point in all of Germany. From here you can clearly see not only Bavaria, but also neighboring Austria, with which Garmisch borders. You can climb to the top using a comfortable indoor lift (travel time is about 15 minutes). Along the route you will be able to see the alpine lake Eibsee and the Zugspitze glacier of the same name. The highest peak point of the mountain is 2962 meters.

Bernd Brägelmann/Zugspitz

The place is also considered an interesting walking route. Here you can see a gorge up to 1 km long and 86 meters high. The fast mountain river Partnakh flows at the bottom of the gorge. The river is fed by the waters of the Zugspitze glacier. The Partnachklamm is today one of the most fascinating canyons in Europe, whose sheer cliffs will make an indelible impression. Visiting the gorge is possible all year round.

Tobias/Partnahklamm

Lovers of a peaceful landscape will certainly appreciate the views of the lake Riisersee, located in the vicinity of Garmisch. This is a small mountain lake with breathtaking views of the Zugspitze. At one time, the lake also gained popularity due to the fact that hockey and speed skating competitions were held here at the 1936 Winter Olympics (the lake freezes in winter).

Another frequent entertainment for vacationers in Garmisch-Partenkirchen are trips to the famous Bavarian castles. At close distance from the resort, in particular, are the castles of Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau and Linderhof. You can get to them either with excursion tours or on your own.

Pixelteufel/Garmish area

Good afternoon, regular readers and new friends of our site! The only thing better than mountains are other, yet unexplored mountain peaks. If you already have a favorite, proven skiing or snowboarding spot, then it's time to turn on explorer mode. Today our destination is the ski resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen located in Germany.

This is the largest and most popular alpine resort in Bavaria. There are several reasons for this. The developed infrastructure of the resort allows you to find entertainment in addition to the descents along the slopes. There are bars, cafes, walks in the forest, clean mountain air. In any case, Garmisch-Partenkirchen is worth a visit.

From mid-November, almost until May, there is a real snow paradise for those who appreciate good skiing. What you ride is not so important, because the German Alps are waiting for absolutely everyone. A good holiday, affordable prices - that's what Garmisch-Partenkirchen is.

Located in the south of the country, in the administrative district of Bavaria, Osterfelder district. The center of the local universe is, of course, a ski resort. There are hotels, shops, shopping centers, and all kinds of entertainment for tourists around. The town is quite large - 26 thousand people permanently live here. Although, this town never received official status.

It is here in the Alps that the highest point in Germany is located - the Zugspitze peak (2962 meters). This is the border between Germany and Austria. Although the mountains come first, the town itself is a tourist attraction.

When you get bored of riding, go on excursions. In the tourist center you will find all kinds of avenues and bus schedules.

Another famous peak, the symbol of the resort, is the Alpspitze (2628 meters). You can climb up to it via a long cable car. The view from the top is breathtaking: a tiny town below, a web of ski lifts... You can take a walk here out of season.

By the way, this place is also famous for hosting the World Cup in alpine skiing. You will see legendary tracks, you can say “touch” the history of sports.

You can also buy a ski pass and book classes here. Garmisch has opportunities for all levels. Are you starting from the beginning? Are you improving? Do you want to hone your skills to perfection? Get trained at the best resort in Bavaria.

Routes and opportunities

Again, there are trails for every ability. Looking at the layout of the resort, you will notice that it is relatively small. Of course, if you compare it with France or Austria, then Garmisch can be called “compact”. The advantage is long routes.

For those just starting out, the gentle slopes fall into the “green” and “blue” categories. “Red” routes are considered high-speed. This is a “sharp corner” for those who already feel confident and are not afraid of speed.

The most “black” tracks for self-confident, skilled skiers. There is everything here - steep slopes, space completely untreated by snow groomers, hoopsters (bumps), deep snow, ice. Only 15% of the resort's volume is allocated for black slopes.

There are 46 lifts at your service, which is not enough. A convenient system helps you navigate route maps, create the most interesting routes for yourself, and combine routes.

For fans of classics (skis)

• "Green" routes - 20%
• "Blue", "Red" - 65%
• "Black" - 15%
• The longest one is 5 km
• About 120 kilometers reserved for running and walking.

The entire resort is divided into two large parts: Garmisch Classic and the glacier zone of the Zugspitze peak.

Slope diagram

Garmisch Classic is more suitable for beginners and intermediate levels. These are truly classic Alps. There are six zones in total:

1. Eckbauer - for beginners and an extended slalom course;
2. Hausberg - for beginners; on weekends there are a lot of people (from Munich for the day);
3. Vank - for beginners, in addition, there is an off-pist track;
4. Kreuzeck is great fun! The route passes through the forest, quite simple, but picturesque. This is a real ski trip.
5. Osterfelder - for those who love speed and complexity;
6. The Alpspitze has trails of varying levels of difficulty; here you can combine the load.

Trails for children

Trails for snowboarders

• Eckbauer 3 km;
• Hausberg 1 km 340 m;
• Alpspitze (2628 m) – 10 km;
• Zugspitze – 2 km.

In the Zugspitze area there is a park for snowboarders: freestyle, opportunities for acrobatics (halfpipe).

Freestyle parks, halfpipe

The glacier is also huge. There are 20 kilometers of trails that are accessible in late autumn or spring. The only thing that should be taken into account is that the glacier is located high, which means that the “skiing” day begins much earlier (at 5-6 am) and ends in the afternoon (before 12:00). Then the sun heats up the track very much and it becomes difficult to ride, and even dangerous on difficult tracks.

Where to stay

Hotels and tourist complexes offer very affordable prices. You can rent a house from locals, for example, through the service AirBnb. It is best to reserve through an agency or at least in advance on the hotel website.

In fact, there are a lot of options for where to live; you just have to choose according to your wallet. Book your seats 1-2 months before you move in so you can find the best deals.

What else can you do?

You don't have to go skiing to fully experience the special atmosphere of the mountain resort. A huge Apres-Ski entertainment complex (“after skiing” or all other activities after/instead of skiing). There's plenty more to do here. Go sledding, walk around the grounds and the mountain itself. Fans of fast walking, running, and sledding will find enormous scope for training here.

There are quite good and expensive restaurants on the territory itself; here you can try traditional “mountain” German cuisine. It's tasty, filling, hot - just what you need after a whole day of skiing. Some restaurants and cafes are located right on the slopes.

Recreation areas

The town has a swimming pool, various spa treatments, and sports centers. Of course, shops. Buying equipment here is relatively expensive, so it’s better to stock up on everything you need in advance. You can rent everything you need: skis, boards, helmets, ski boots.

By the way, on the territory of the town there is a Strauss estate, which you can visit. And if you want historical attractions, then the castles of Neuschwanstein, Hoevschwangu and the real “pearl” of Bavaria, the medieval knightly castle Linderhof, are located very close.

In addition, you can explore ancient churches, monasteries, and visit souvenir shops, after all. The whole family will enjoy such a varied holiday.

Pay the tax and enjoy all the amenities

Not a common practice, but all tourists are charged a resort tax. Don’t be alarmed, it’s only 2 euros per person (per day). But, tempting prospects for relaxation open up before you.

For these same 2 euros you get a resort card, which includes free bus travel around the resort town, the opportunity to use the swimming pool (also free), and a lot of discounts on various services: purchase or rental of equipment, massages and spas (which is good news ), For example.

• Be sure to keep an eye on the weather. Snowfall in the mountains can be unpleasant, to say the least, or dangerous.
• Choose quality ammunition. You will need waterproof clothing, special underwear that keeps you warm and absorbs moisture. Check your skis, snowboard, boots, and helmet before you go: the correct size, good condition. Excellent ski clothing set you can buy Here.
• Typically a ski trip lasts 7-10 days. The first and last days are the most traumatic, unfortunately. good insurance and caution will help you.
• Focus on your capabilities!
• Make sure you can get down before you get on the lift. Many of them only work "up".
• Eating in restaurants is tasty, but expensive.

The entire settlement is clearly visible from the slopes of the surrounding Bavarian Alps, for example, from the south, from the cabin of the Hausbergbahn cable car. You see a wide valley between high mountains, gradually narrowing into the distance, to the north. From there, from Munich, there is a railway line, which, with its bend in the form of an elongated letter S, divides the dense mass of buildings into two approximately equal parts.

A little history of Garmisch-Partenkirchen

The town was formed in 1935 before the IV Winter Olympic Games by merging two ancient settlements: Garmisch and Partenkirchen.

In the 200s AD, in those ancient times when the Roman Empire was still strong, a military camp was set up in these places, a guard post on an important road leading from the metropolis through the Alps along the Loisach River to the Isar River, further to the Danube , then diverging to Gaul and Dacia. The Roman camp was called Partanum after the name of the nearby mountain river Partnach. In the language of the Germans who lived in these places, portn is a gate.

Loisach River

At that time the road had military significance, and in later times it turned into a trade road. And since the settlements were located very conveniently, first in Partenkirchen, then in Garmisch a market appeared, which was served by the inhabitants of this valley for many centuries.

In the 19th century, wealthy Europeans had the means to travel to resort towns, and the owners of hotels, restaurants, and shops experienced an increase in income from the flow of tourists. Then we remembered this beautiful valley, the beauty of the local landscapes, the clean mountain air, the benefits of hiking in the mountains, and the possibilities of skiing. Villages began to develop as resorts, centers of tourism and winter sports.

In 1936, the IV Winter Olympics was held here, after which an ice stadium, a ski jump, and many equipped ski slopes of various classes remained.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen now

The town has many hotels and restaurants serving tourists. In winter, on the slopes of the surrounding mountains there are very convenient ski slopes of varying difficulty (total length 109 km), equipped with ski lifts. 150 km of flat ski slopes. Tourists go hiking all year round - mountain walks. For this purpose, hiking trails and bicycle paths have been laid in the mountains. The facilities of the Olympic Ice Stadium are provided for the use of tourists.

The attractions of Garmisch-Partenkirchen are primarily the mountains surrounding the large valley on which it is located. The height of the valley surface above sea level is more than 700 m. The Zugspitze is the highest mountain in Germany (2962 m), to the very top of which you can drive along a cogwheel railway. Partnachklamm is a picturesque gorge through which the fast mountain river Partnach runs. And the town itself is worth taking a leisurely stroll through it, along the cozy, clean and so neat streets, and looking at the local houses.

One-, two-, maximum three-story wooden houses built in the style of medieval southern Germany. The walls are covered with plaster, painted in light colors. And on a light background there are colorful drawings, paintings on biblical or historical subjects. Many houses have colorful monograms indicating their ownership: “Martha’s house,” “Elsa’s house,” etc.

Haus Brigitte

Part of the wall of this house was deliberately left unplastered. Feel the difference! Once upon a time, the houses and the whole city were so dark and gloomy, like these darkened old boards. After the walls began to be plastered and painted, the city was transformed.

Haus Brigitte

The city hosts music festivals, Bavarian folk music orchestras and the mountain border guard orchestra give concerts. The population of Garmisch-Partenkirchen is about 27,000 people.

Bavarian trash can

An example of the German ganz Akkurat and attitude towards the surrounding nature: a garbage container in the forest on the outskirts of the city. The container is decorated with the coat of arms of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

In the street ruins you will definitely find examples of Bavarian national clothing, which local residents wear not only on great holidays, but also on ordinary days, just like that.

Garmisch Partenkirchen ski resort: everything about the resort

The hosting of the Winter Olympics back in 1936 helped the resort become an international-class skiing and recreation center. It was thanks to her that the first ski slopes and trails were built near two small Bavarian towns - Garmisch and Partenkirchen. And to make the infrastructure more functional, the towns were combined into one, choosing a symbiosis of two names as the new name - Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Still, the unification of the two cities for the 1936 Winter Olympics was never able to completely erase the boundaries: Garmisch is still chic and expensive, but Partenkirchen is a little cheaper and traditionally charming.

Usually tourists think that they can only ski from the slopes near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, but in fact the ski area is much more impressive - Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Mittenwald and the Zugspitze itself, which also has slopes on the Austrian side.

Zugspitze

Zugspitze is the highest mountain point in Germany, its height is 2962 meters. On the slopes of the Zugspitze, even today, in the era of global warming, three glaciers still remain, which provide ideal conditions for quality winter recreation. From the top of the Zugspitze you can see more than 400 Alpine peaks belonging to neighboring countries - Austria, Italy, Switzerland and even France. In clear weather, tourists can expect a dizzying panorama at the top - its range is up to 250 kilometers!

Through the mountain gorge you can take a fascinating hike to the Austrian side of the Zugspitze. And so that tourists do not remain hungry, four mountain restaurants along the route offer delicious Bavarian and German cuisine.

On the slopes of three neighboring mountains - Hausberg, Kreuzeck and Alpspitze - ski slopes of different difficulty levels are laid, the ski route is called Garmisch-classik. Both beginner skiers and professionals can ski here.

The Hochalmbahn cable car or one of the hiking trails will take you down to an altitude of 1,700 meters and then to the Kreuzeckbahn lift station, which helps you climb Mount Kreuzeck. The Kandahar-2 cafe will be happy to relax and drink a cup of aromatic coffee; it awaits its visitors at the foot of the legendary slope, where ski championships are held.

The Eibsee cable car, with a breathtaking view of Lake Eibsee, is unfortunately now closed, but for regulars and newcomers to the resort we hasten to announce good news: on December 21, 2017, a new cable car opened on the Zugspitze, instead of the old Eibsee-Seilbahn, which was decommissioned. Seilbahn).

Another interesting event that takes place annually in Garmisch is the Alpine Skiing and Biathlon World Cup. In 2020, downhill skiing competitions (February 8) and a super-giant slalom stage (February 9) will be held here.

When planning to travel along this route, dress warmly, because even in summer the cold wind from the glacier is not entirely comfortable, and in winter the air temperature in these places can reach minus 30° C. From the top, to which the cable car takes you, you can see Austria, Italy and Switzerland.

Train operating hours on the Zugspitze: 8:00 - 17:00

Train operating hours to Glacier Glacier: 8:15 - 17:15.
