Hiking in the Garmisch-Classic ski area

A most natural mountain experience

The Alpspitze, Kreuzeck and Hausberg mountains – a truly magnificent triumvirate in the Garmisch-Classic ski area. Glide comfortably to the top in the Bayerische Zugspitzbahn cable cars and discover the natural surroundings of the alpine mountain world on foot.

In the Kreuzeck or Alpspitze cable cars, it's only a few minutes to the lofty mountain worlds near Zugspitze. Day-trippers and families with children can enjoy a break in one of the cozy mountain lodges or earthy "Alm" huts surrounded by lush alpine pastures. Numerous hiking trails of all difficulties, a geologic educational trail and the steep, narrow trail to the wild Höllentalklamm gorge make the Garmisch-Classic area an experience to remember for both young and old.

The Alpspitze Roundtrip (link) is an especially impressive way to experience all of the faces of the Garmisch-Classic while exploring the splendor and diversity of the mountain world from a cable car and on easy hikes.

On the sun terrace of the cozy restaurant on the Osterfelderkopf mountain, you can enjoy an awesome view of the imposing Alpspitze north face. You can also stop for a bite to eat in the Hochalm, Kreuzeckhaus and Bayernhaus lodges. CaféBar Kandahar (link) in the Kreuzeck valley station invites you to end your excursion with Italian coffee specialties, delicious snacks and a gorgeous view through the Loisach Valley.
