- 4.8 (448)·Hard·15.2 miPopular hiking trail with great views in Werdenfesler Land, Bavaria. The 2,962-meter-high Zugspitze is a mountain of superlatives.

This route begins south of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and leads through the Partnach Gorge to the Reintalangerhütte. Up to here, the ascent is still relatively easy. From the Reintalangerhütte, it becomes quite steep and technically...

If you plan to take the mountain railway back down, be sure to check the departure times in advance.

- 4.9 (7)·Strenuous·4.8 miThe legendary Jubiläumsgrat, which connects Germany’s highest mountain, the Zugspitze, with the Alpspitze, is the ultimate high-alpine challenge in the Eastern Alps and is reserved exclusively for experienced mountaineers. This highly exposed ridge traverse requires absolute surefootedness, extreme endurance, and the ability to free-climb unsecured rock up to UIAA Grade III.
