Package holiday to Zugspitze

The Zugspitze, at 2,962 meters, is the highest mountain in Germany and stands on the border between Bavaria and Tyrol. On clear days, the summit offers a panorama that includes over 400 peaks in four countries — from the Dolomites to the Großglockner and the Säntis in Switzerland. No other point in Germany is so close to the sky.

Three cable cars lead to the summit: The Bavarian Zugspitze Railway (cogwheel train from Garmisch, 75 minutes), the Eibsee Cable Car (newest cable car, opened in 2017, 10 minutes, with a height of 127 m, the highest support in the world), and the Tyrolean Zugspitze Railway from the Austrian side. The Eibsee Cable Car holds three world records: the largest elevation difference (1,945 m), the longest free span (3,213 m), and the highest steel support.

The Eibsee at the foot of the Zugspitze is considered one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in Germany: crystal clear, turquoise water surrounded by dense forest and the imposing Zugspitze massif. A 7 km long circular hike leads around the lake, and in summer, small bays invite swimming.

The Schneefernhaus at 2,650 m, once the highest hotel in Germany, now serves as a research station. The Schneeferner, one of the last glaciers in Germany, is a visible sign of climate change — it is expected to completely disappear in the coming years. At the summit platform, a golden summit cross marks the highest point in the country.

Zugspitze particularly impresses with breathtaking nature. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
