Further information: https://www.partnachklamm.de/en Spanning 32 km (20 miles) typically divided across 3 days, this classic hut-to-hut long-distance trail links the Olympic Ski Stadium in Garmisch-Partenkirchen to the valley station of the Ehrwalder Almbahn. Widely recognized as the gentlest multi-day trekking route up Germany’s highest peak, the journey usually proceeds from north to south across the German-Austrian frontier. Hikers wander through the deep limestone gorge of the Partnachklamm, trace the turquoise glacial waters of the peaceful Reintal valley, and tackle steep scree slopes toward the Zugspitze summit before traversing the scenic alpine crossing at Feldernjöchl and the Gatterl. Well-appointed mountain refuges offer welcoming lodging between demanding climbs, while regional buses and trains serve both trailheads.
