    Tips

    Hiking

    The Partnachklamm is a popular destination. The race starts at the parking lot at the Olympic Stadium. Stronger shoes, and a rain jacket to coat are certainly beneficial. After the Partnachklamm the reason expands and there are numerous variants for hiking. There is above the Partnachalm, Graseck, the Eckbauer, or a little further Wamberg, Germany's highest-lying church village, as from a picture book.

    Hiking

    The Partnach Gorge is approximately 700 meters long, with walls rising up to 80 meters. Through tunnels and passages blasted into the rock, it is accessible even in winter, with the bizarre ice formations adding a special charm to this natural beauty.
    You can cross the gorge over an iron bridge built in 1914, 68 meters above the river. It connects the Hausberg area with the Wamberg. Every year, the Partnach Gorge welcomes over 350,000 visitors.
    Leashed dogs are welcome.

    Embark on a moderate hike through the Partnach Gorge, where you will navigate paths carved into sheer rock walls with the river rushing below. The trail then ascends, opening up to expansive alpine scenery and views of the surrounding peaks. This loop covers 4.0 miles (6.4 km) and involves an elevation gain of 617 feet (188 metres), typically completed in about 1 hour and 56 minutes.

    Begin your journey from the Garmisch Olympia Ski Stadium, following the clear path towards the gorge entrance. Although the route through the gorge is well-maintained, it is essential to wear sturdy shoes with good grip, as sections can be wet and slippery. On the return leg via Graseck, you will find opportunities for refreshment at various mountain farms and hotels.

    This trail showcases the impressive geological forces that shaped the Partnach Gorge, a significant natural landmark in the region. The experience offers a unique blend of dramatic, enclosed canyon landscapes and the contrasting open vistas of the Bavarian Alps.
