Amazing views from the mountain peak. It was very fun to make cairns with such great views. Also, the sledding hill is a lot of fun!

Zugspitze is an absolutely stunning place and I truly loved the experience! The ticket costs around €75 (in summer), and it’s totally worth it. You can travel up by cable car and come down by train, or the other way around—both are amazing experiences. The cable car offers breathtaking views, while the train ride through the mountains is really relaxing and scenic. At the top, there’s a restaurant where you can chill, grab a bite, or enjoy a couple of beers while taking in the panoramic views. Even in summer, the scenery is incredible and the fresh mountain air makes it feel peaceful and refreshing. There are also trekking and climbing activities available if you’re feeling adventurous, though some of them can be a bit risky—still, totally worth it for the view from the top! I’m not sure about the winter prices, but they might be lower. Overall, it’s a must-visit spot if you’re in the area and want to experience the beauty of the Alps.

This is an absolute life changer. Visiting Zugspitze was an incredible experience and worth every minute and every euro. The view going up in the cable cart already gives you such a unique view, and getting to the top feels as though you’re transported into a different world - literally. The view from the top is so phenomenal, and there are several lookout points where you also have a panoramic view of the mountain areas. Being so high up also gives you such a different feeling and you feel yourself adapting to the environment. Absolutely incredible place to spend a few hours. There’s a restaurant up top that also allows you to dine and enjoy the views, a museum, and options to visit different peaks where you can go for a hike and explore, eat or get a drink, and of course go for a beautiful ski experience or snowboard experience. If you visit this part of Austria, this is a must visit spot. I promise you will enjoy every bit of it!!🤩

Very beautiful place, we went in July and it was still freezing at the top, be sure to bring very warm clothes. It was a misty day so you couldn't see what was around the mountain top that much and even in the cable car we went into the mist for a few seconds which was cool to experience. I would recommend going up with the train and descending with the cable car and stopping at the Eibsee where you can enjoy the sun while doing a nice walk or doing a boat trip. The captain of the boattrip was very friendly too. Would definitely recommend if you come to this region!

The Zugspitze, Germany’s tallest mountain, offers breathtaking Alpine views, world-class skiing, and unique cable car experiences. Whether you're a hiker, skier, or just a sightseer, it’s a must-visit destination near Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Highlights: 1. Stunning 360 views of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy on clear days. The Eibsee Lake below looks like a turquoise gem from above. 2. Zugspitzbahn (cogwheel train) + Eibsee-Seilbahn (cable car) provide a scenic ascent and descent. 3. One of Germany’s best ski resorts, hiking trails and photo spots. 4. Top of Germany Platform. 5. Panorama 2962 (highest restaurant in Germany) serves Bavarian dishes. Drawbacks: Expensive (75€ for round-trip, but worth it) and crowds. An unforgettable Alpine experience, whether skiing, hiking, or just soaking in the views. A bit pricey, but absolutely worth it for the "Top of Germany" bragging rights! Pro Tip: Buy tickets online in advance to skip queues.

The top of Alps. Mesmerizing. Each side has different view to enjoy. A must visit place for every adventure living and mountain loving people. Though the peak is only accessible in summer as in winter, snow is blocking the path. Ticket is 66 in winter and 70 in summer.

I took the Seilbahn Zugspitze to the top of Zugspitze, which was conveniently close to my accommodation in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The round trip cost 75 euros, and it offered breathtaking panoramic views. The ticket also included a cable car ride down to the Glacier Spot from the summit, which made for an even more fulfilling experience. Before heading up, make sure to check the weather. You can only truly appreciate the panoramic views on a clear day. Unfortunately, a lot of the permanent snow has melted, so the snowscape wasn't as grand as I had anticipated. However, seeing the remnants of a once-operating luxury hotel added a unique charm and a touch of wistfulness to the journey. I didn't get a chance to try the trail from the Glacier Spot back up to the Zugspitze summit, but watching so many people make the climb was truly spectacular. I definitely want to give it a try next time! Zugspitze isn't just a high mountain; it's a special place where you can feel the changes in nature and the passage of time simultaneously. If you're staying in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, I highly recommend a trip up Zugspitze via the Seilbahn Zugspitze!

Dining at the "Top of Germany" with such a spectacular backdrop is an experience you won’t want to miss!
