Garmisch-Partenkirchen is the best-known mountain resort in Germany, two former market towns merged for the 1936 Winter Olympics and still separated by the Partnach stream and a friendly rivalry. The Zugspitze, at 2,962 m the country's highest summit, is reached by cogwheel railway and cable car from the edge of town, and the Partnach Gorge, the Eibsee and the Kandahar downhill course are all within a few kilometres. The Olympic ski jump hosts the New Year's Day leg of the Four Hills Tournament, and the town staged the Alpine Ski World Championships in 1978 and 2011. Richard Strauss lived here for decades and is remembered with a June festival. Munich is about 90 km north, Innsbruck about 60 km south across the Austrian border.

Your FrankfurtRide chauffeur drops you at any address in Garmisch-Partenkirchen — hotel, business, or private residence — all at the same fixed price with no detour surcharge.
