Garmisch is located in Bavaria, along the Federal Highway 2 and off the A95 section of the Autobahn network, which makes it easily accessible for holiday makers who are using cars as their chief mode of transportation. Well connected to Munich, Innsbruck and Reutte, you can also visit the Zugspitze which is the highest mountain in Germany. As a result, Garmisch is a popular choice for snowsports including skiing and snowboarding. The mountain affords some spectacular views of the surrounding area and is also a good point for hikers to trek.

Other areas of interest include the Partnach Gorge, which is a breathtaking and unique natural land formation. The unspoilt scenery mirrors the charming character of the Bavarian people and there are many opportunities to enjoy Bavarian hospitality in the restaurants and bars that are abundant in Garmisch. The concert hall hosts many musical performances throughout the year. The town particularly comes to life during the summer months, where there are several festivals on show.
