Note: This event has already passed.

Join Baumholder ODR for an unforgeable weekend on the slopes!

 

Garmisch is touted as one of Germany’s best ski resorts, and for those who have skied in the Western U.S., it’s certainly comparable. It offers skiers and snowboarders a little bit of everything, however the on-piste areas are best reserved for intermediates. Experts on the hunt for a unique adventure will find more challenging terrain on the Zugspitze’s glacier, which is accessed via the cogwheel train. Even freestylers will be pleased with Garmisch's terrain park offering. Renowned as having Germany’s first superpipe, Garmisch has a history of being friendly towards skiers and boarders with a penchant for getting creative in the air. There are three ski mountains - the Hausberg, Kreuzeck and Alpspitze – joined together in the Garmisch-Classic ski resort. The winter sports area offers skiing enjoyment for all with everything from family-frienldy slopes on the Hausberg to the world-famous Kandahar black slope. All four valley runs have snow-making capabilities. The ski resort Garmisch-Classic – Garmisch-Partenkirchen is located in Zugspitzland (Germany, Bavaria (Bayern), Upper Bavaria (Oberbayern), Zugspitz Region). For skiing and snowboarding, there are 40 km of slopes and 4 km of ski routes available. 17 lifts transport the guests. The winter sports area is situated between the elevations of 732 and 2,050 m.
