Along with the Wendelsteinbahn, the Drachenfelsbahn and the Stuttgart cog railway, the Bayerische Zugspitzbahn is one of four cog railways still in operation in Germany. The meter-gauge route leads from the Garmisch-Partenkirchner district of Garmisch to the Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany.

Personally, I would recommend taking the cable car up to visit the Zugspitze - and down the cog railway. Both have their charms. The ride on the Zahradbahn takes a while, and it could happen in changeable weather that you can no longer see anything above. The tickets can be combined.

High with the Zugspitzbahn, down with the rack railway, so you have both experiences (train station is right next to the gondola station)

It is worthwhile to go up with the new train. But I think she is very expensive. If you are upstairs you have an excellent view with a clear view. And from there you can hike with climbing equipment to the summit cross over.

Undoubtedly a great experience ... but as a family man with two children you have to turn over 180 euros for a cable car ride on the table.

The highest mountain in Germany is always worth a trip. Even if it rains in the valley, there is a chance of a good view at 2,962 m! The way back to Grainau is then a good end!

The rack railway is really nice, but the prices are awesome.

Great ride up but a very high cost factor.

For those with a head for heights: The new lift has a glass floor in the cabin! This is actually something special!

Indeed a record-breaking cable car .....
Very convenient. Can leave the car downstairs.
But unfortunately very crowded. And that in Corona times ...

The Zugspitze cable car holds several records worldwide: The cable car has only one cable car support, which at 127 m is the highest steel cable car support in the world and the highest cable car support in Europe. The support is visible from afar. At 3213 m, the cable car section between the support and the summit forms the longest span of all cable cars. And the cable car, at 1945 meters, also has the world's largest difference in altitude in one section. The trip is clearly overpriced (especially if you compare the prices directly with the other railways in Garmisch), but it is still an exciting experience!

Unfortunately, in October 2018, defects still occur in case of rescue.
