Enjoy the unique mountain world of this former Olympic resort which includes the highest peak in Germany, the impressive walkable canyon "Partnachklamm", which can be reached from the ski stadium with the famous ski jumps, as well as sophisticated pedestrian zones, which invite you to a leisurely stroll. There is something for everyone at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, let this unique spot work its charm on you.
Built during the Nazi dictatorship for the 1936 Winter Olympics and remodeled for the planned Winter Olympics in 1940, which failed due to World War II. For this purpose, the two communities Garmisch and Partenkirchen were forcibly merged.
Learn from your tour guide Stefan more about the darkest years 1933 - 1945, but also about the current use of the stadium and the ski jumps.
