The Partnachklamm gorge is always worth a trip, whether summer or winter, it is a unique and special experience at any time of year. Here, you can look down into gorges of up to 60 metres in depth and observe how the water makes its way through the rock and shoots through the gorges at high speed.

From the gorge you can also take beautiful hikes into the Reintal, to the Partnachalm, to Graseck or to the Eckbauer.
Zugspitze
A highlight in our region is of course the highest mountain in Germany, the Zugspitze. The 2962 meter high summit is crowned by a golden summit cross. From our holiday homes, Germany's highest mountain can be reached easily and on different ways. By car you can reach the new Eibsee cable car in Grainau in a few minutes. You can also reach it with the local bus or you take the nostalgic cogwheel train of the Bavarian Zugspitz Railway from Garmisch or Grainau to the cable car at the Eibsee or directly to the Zugspitzplatt. The way to the Zugspitze is an experience in itself. With the new Zugspitze cable car you can reach the Zugspitze summit from Eibsee via Europe's highest cable car pillar. If you are free from giddiness, you can dare to look through the glass floor of the gondola. Two gondolas lead up to the Zugspitze. In addition to the Bayerische Zugspitzbahn from Grainau, the Tiroler Zugspitzbahn also rides from Ehrwald in Austria to the mountain giant. In addition to the overwhelming view you can experience from the Zugspitze with panoramic views of the Alps of Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland, there are other activities on the Zugspitze. Why not enjoy a meal with a view of Lake Eibsee through the panorama windows in the new summit restaurant or cross the highest German-Austrian border. Sporting activities settle on the Zugspitzplatt. Here you go with the glacier cable car, which also offers a gigantic view. In winter you enjoy your day while skiing, snowboarding or sledging on the natural snow slopes, but also in summer you can sledging or snowshoeing on the highest mountain in Germany. A unique experience in winter is also a night in the Igloo Village.
