If you intend to climb the Zugspitze from Ehrwald and take the train down again, you should inquire about the operating times of the Tyrolean Zugspitzbahn beforehand. A fondue evening takes place several times a month on the Zugspitze, when the train runs until 9:30 p.m. So you can take your time on the ascent and avoid the hustle and bustle if you only reach the summit after 5 p.m. The train can of course also be used if you are not taking part in the fondue evening. The ticket can be bought directly before starting the journey at the summit. When the weather is nice, you can also marvel at the magnificent sunset on the Zugspitze and, with a bit of luck, you can have the summit all to yourself.

Information on the extended operating hours is available on the Tiroler Zugspitzbahn website under the "Events" heading.

If you don't want to or can't do the Watzmann crossing as a "good German", there are at least two challenging but nevertheless feasible hikes to the Zugspitze. Personally, I find the "Gatterl-Tour" from Ehrwald more beautiful than over the Reintal. A lot is simply offered to the eye here. Running is also worthwhile, because the rides up to the Zugspitze are not exactly cheap and if you don't want to go sledding upstairs, you can see everything pretty quickly. You don't have to drive up for the food, which is more reminiscent of motorway service stations. But it is the best food in the world after a long climb ;-)
