Garmisch is a town that is rich in history and culture.  Local people often dress in traditional styles and many of the older buildings are decorated with beautiful frescoes.  It is Germany's premier winter sports center. At the top of Garmisch is the majestic Zugspitz, Germany's highest mountain (9,730').  It has over 4000 vertical feet of skiing, with terrain for all abilities.  There are nearly 200 miles of trails in the area, spread across a dozen moderately sized resorts stretching over the Austrian border.  Our hotel is located a short walk from the cog railway or aerial tram.  In addition, lots of unique day excursions are planned, including fairy tale castles that even Walt Disney can’t match.  Experience Alpine skiing with a uniquely German flavor!

Estimated cost for 5 days lifts: $160
