Garmisch Tour from Munich with Chauffeur

Zugspitze and gorge

Onto Germany's highest peak in 90 minutes

Garmisch-Partenkirchen lies ninety minutes from Munich, and from there the cog railway or the cable car takes you up the Zugspitze, 2,962 metres up. It is the simplest way of getting from a major city onto the highest mountain in Germany in a single day and being back at your hotel that evening.

We drive you to the valley station in Garmisch or out to the cable car at the Eibsee, depending which way up you prefer. Your chauffeur waits down in the valley for as long as you are up on the summit. Tickets for the mountain railways you buy yourself, ideally online in advance.

Mountain or valley

Garmisch day tour from Munich

There are two ways up the Zugspitze. The cog railway from Garmisch takes around 75 minutes and runs through the mountain itself, while the cable car from the Eibsee manages it in ten and hangs spectacularly in the air on the way. Many people simply combine the two: up by cog railway, down by cable car. For the summit itself you should allow four to five hours.

If the mountain is too much for you, the valley leaves plenty over. The Partnach Gorge is a highlight in its own right, a kilometre of ravine with roaring water, a good two hours including the walk there and back. Then there are the Olympic ski jump, the Eibsee with its striking turquoise water and the Ludwigstrasse in Partenkirchen with its painted houses.

As a management consultant I fly a great deal, so I ride with them almost every week — and I'm extremely satisfied! The cars are always impeccably kept, usually luxury-class limousines like the Mercedes S-Class or the BMW 7 Series.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the drive from Munich to Garmisch take?
Around 90 minutes for roughly 90 kilometres via the A95. On winter weekends and in snowfall it can take longer, which we factor in. It makes no difference to your fixed price.
How do we get up the Zugspitze?
By cog railway from Garmisch in around 75 minutes through the mountain, or by cable car from the Eibsee in ten minutes. Many people combine both. We drive you to whichever point you choose and wait below.
How much time do we need for the Zugspitze?
Four to five hours from the valley station, including the ascent, the summit and the descent. With the drive from Munich that makes a full day. Anyone staying in the valley needs rather less.
What if the weather up top is poor?
Then the ascent is not worth it, as you will only see fog. We look at the mountain forecast in the morning and tell you honestly. Alternatives in the valley are the Partnach Gorge, the Eibsee and Partenkirchen.
Are mountain railway tickets included?
No, you buy those yourself and ideally online in advance, as the queues at the valley station can be long. Our fixed price covers the drive, your chauffeur's waiting time and the parking fees.
Do you drive there in winter for skiing?
Yes. We take you with your equipment to the valley station and collect you again in the evening. For skis we use the V-Class, as the E-Class and S-Class become tight from two sets onwards.
Zugspitze

Garmisch and the Zugspitze from Munich

For many guests from abroad the Zugspitze is the reason to drive to Garmisch at all. And it is worth it: in clear weather you see four countries from the summit and the Eibsee lies below you like a splash of colour. In poor weather you see the inside of a cloud, which is why the weather question matters more here than at any other destination.

That is precisely where a private chauffeur helps. We look at the mountain forecast in the morning and tell you honestly whether the ascent is worthwhile. If there is fog up top, we drive to the Partnach Gorge or down to the Eibsee instead. On a coach tour you would not have that choice at all and would end up paying for a cloud.

In winter the snow is added to all of it. The Zugspitze holds snow into May, and the view across the snow-covered Alps is why this tour runs in January as well. Skiing works just as readily, in which case we drive you with your equipment to the valley station and collect you again in the evening.

For an enquiry we need the date, the pick-up address, the number of guests and whether you want the summit itself or would rather stay down in the valley. You receive a fixed price for the whole day including waiting time and parking fees. Mountain railway tickets you buy yourself, ideally online in advance.
