Sunrise Ride

Sunrise Ride - summit gold for early risers

Granted, the days are a little shorter in the winter, but this is the time when sun worshippers revel when the first rays hit the cliffs and let them glow bright yellow and gold above the frosty white snow – in four countries and on more than 400 peaks.

The Sunrise Rides up Germany's highest mountain are fascinating and sporty at the same time. A day on Zugspitze that is longer than most starts as early as 7:00 AM when you ride the Eibsee cable car to an altitude of close to 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) above sea level. Half an hour later, the sun rises, letting the 400 surrounding peaks shine in golden splendor. An unforgettable sight that you can continue to enjoy while having breakfast, because in Panorama-Lounge 2962, the unlimited view is included with your meal.

Afterwards, the Glacier cable car takes you down to the Zugspitze ski area where you can carve your first turns of the day down – still - virgin slopes.
