One Big Day in the Bavarian Alps: Skiing Garmisch from Munich.
This is a full-day winter-sports excursion into the heart of the Bavarian Alps: a hotel pickup in Munich, a stop at a local ski rental and school, and a day of diverse slopes at Garmisch-Partenkirchen — home of the 1936 Winter Olympics — capped by drinks at a mountain hut and a scenic direct train back to Munich.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Garmisch-Partenkirchen — Olympic slopes and valley runs
Spend the day on the Garmisch Classic terrain, where long valley runs and varied alpine slopes — from beginner pitches to steep descents — define the itinerary.
On-demand rental, lessons and day guides
A scheduled stop at a local ski school lets you rent full equipment, hire a day guide, or book lessons before heading to the slopes, so both novices and experienced skiers can get what they need for the day.
Mountain-hut break and a scenic train home
Afternoon drinks at a mountain hut provide a pause after the last runs; afterward you'll drop off rentals and take a direct train — included in the tour — back to Munich Hauptbahnhof.
