Garmisch-Partenkirchen

Built around settlements on the old route through the Loisach valley, Garmisch-Partenkirchen grew into one of Bavaria’s principal Alpine resorts. The twin town lies below the Wetterstein range, with the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain, close by. Partenkirchen retains painted façades along Ludwigstraße and associations with the Roman Via Claudia Augusta, while the Partnach Gorge cuts through rock south of town. Garmisch-Partenkirchen hosted the 1936 Winter Olympics, cementing its long connection with winter sport. Hiking routes, ski slopes and the Bayerische Zugspitzbahn keep the town closely linked to its mountain setting.
