Ski Vacation in Germany

Garmisch-Partenkirchen is built around the highest mountain in Germany, the Zugspitze, with an altitude of 2,962 meters (8,832 feet). The top of the mountain is actually a glacier with amazing ski terrain for advanced skiers ranging from bowls to natural, ungroomed drops. There?s ample opportunity for leisurely, intermediate skiing on the 75 miles of trails in the resort.

The area is rich in history and culture. Local people often dress in traditional styles (without being paid to do so by the tourist board!) and many of the older buildings are decorated with beautiful frescoes. The apres-ski is what makes this place a world-class resort. Not only does it have a degree of charm other resorts lack, but this place was made for fun.

Vacation Trip includes; Seven nights accommodation Vier Jahreszeiten (3-star), Buffet breakfast at the hotel, Round-trip air via Lufthansa Airlines, Round-trip transfer via bus, local taxes Europe and airline fuel surcharges.
