It is possible to ski in the German Alps (Bavaria) or in the German Central Uplands where there are many smaller ski fields. In the Alps there are many options for winter sports enthusiasts such as downhill and cross-country skiing, snow hiking, snow boarding, board crossing and more. If you’re interested in something new why not try skiing in Germany this winter? For the top rated and classic resort try Garmisch-Partenkirchen where the 1930 winter Olympics were held - fly to Munich or Innsbruck and you are about one hour away. Otherwise try the more trendy Oberstdorf, explore the hidden gems of Berchtesgaden or Lenggries or sample the village ambience of Oberammergau or Mittenwald.

  • You neglected to mention that Garmish-Partenkirchen is in the shadow of the Zugspitze, which is Germany's tallest mountain. The skiing is fabulous, with more than 100 miles of trails, including cross-country. Ditto world-class apres ski. Garmish is the more fashionable 'twin', with designer boutiques and a hopping nightlife. Partenkirchen is the more traditional side.

    Also, Munich is bidding on the 2018 Winter Olympics, so G-P might once again be the site of gold medal events. You can read more about Bavaria in my article published in a recent issue of Continental Airlines Magazine
    • Thanks for the additional information, Evelyn :)
