Take the cable car to Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak, where Alpine panoramas unfold beneath your feet and skiers enjoy excellent winter conditions from December through early May. The twin towns offer a perfect blend of outdoor adventure and Bavarian charm, with gingerbread-like buildings lining Ludwig Street. After conquering the slopes at Garmisch-Classic, warm up with hearty mountain fare in a wood-paneled café where the pretzels arrive hot and the beer flows cold. History buffs will appreciate Werdenfels Castle Ruins, while nature lovers shouldn't miss the hike up Wank Mountain for postcard-worthy views. The 1936 Winter Olympics left their mark here, but it's the year-round outdoor playground that keeps visitors returning.

Wittelsbacher Hof Swiss Quality Hotel

8/10 Good
"If you're a frequent traveler in Europe, you will know the vibe. It's been awhile since they've done any remodeling so it feels like a bit of a throwback, but hey it's nice not to stay in some overly tricked out boutique hotel. The back courtyard is really lovely and a great place to have breakfast whilst having the Alps looming over you. And that's why you're there in the first place."
