Urlaub in Garmisch

For this day, cloudy weather and rain were announced in the Alps. I took the train a bit away from it and had sunshine all day.

The originally planned tour was not feasible because the Partnach gorge was closed. Therefore, the Grasbeck cable car was used. The blocking of another way also led to a reduction. Therefore, the hike continued on the Kramer side. In between, there are about 3 km bus ride.

The train was supposed to start at 9:06 am from Garmisch-Partenkirchen station, but it was twenty minutes later due to a break in the track. In Klais 9:40 clock finally started. 16:30 clock I was at the Sebastian Chapel in Partenkirchen and shortly before five with the bus in the accommodation.

On this tour I discovered that hiking on icy trails - especially uphill or downhill - is life-threatening.

Then I bought icers, i.e. spikes, on silicone, which are comparatively easy and safe to put on and offer a fairly secure hold. I always have them in my backpack on winter hikes.

At the beginning and end was a walk through Garmisch. The guided snowshoe hike started at the mountain station Hausberg.

It's hard to believe, but it doesn't always have to be a tour in the mountains. Incidentally, I was very impressed by the town of Grainau. Ideal starting point for various tours.

In moderate weather it has become today only a short tour; nevertheless with very nice moments.

By local bus and Kreuzeck train to Kreuzeck.

The ascent from the Hochalm valley station to the Osterfeldkopf (in the height profile dark red) was not planned, quite exhausting and not completely harmless, but beautiful and much better than standing in a crowded gondola.
