    Tips

    February 11, 2017

    If you intend to climb the Zugspitze from Ehrwald and take the train back down, you should first inquire about the operating hours of the Tiroler Zugspitzbahn.

    Several times a month a fondue evening takes place on the Zugspitze, where the train runs until 9.30 pm. So you can take your time on the climb and miss the big bustle, if you reach the summit after 5 pm.

    The course can of course be used if you do not participate in the fondue evening. The ticket can be bought directly before the start of the trip at the summit. In fine weather you can admire the beautiful sunset on the Zugspitze and the summit belongs to you, with luck, all alone.

    Information on the extended operating times can be found on the page of the Tiroler Zugspitzbahn under the heading "Events".

      Here you should get up pretty early, because as soon as the train opens, the most famous summit in Germany is flooded with tourists.

        More strenuous but rewarding climb to the Zugspitze. Certainly not suitable for everyone, since there are some difficult sections here.
