Only skied one day in Garmisch Classic, as part of a weekend. Enjoyed it ! Garmisch is easy to get to from Munich: the Classic ski area is a little out of town but you can get close to the bottom ski lifts by taking the Zugspitzbahn cog-railway from the main Garmisch-Partenkirchen train station. I think there's a ski bus... More

I was twice to Garmish Classic to Ski. The first one was in February 2012 and the second one in March 2013. It is a nice place and the slopes are nice, specially if you like to ski in the middle of trees as I do. It also has the advantage of beeing close to Munich (1h30m by train) so... More

We knew when we chose to come here over a holiday weekend that it was going to be packed with people. However, the only time this really became an issue was at the ski lifts as there were long lines and a bit of wait time. The snow was great, the runs are varied and beautiful and anyone from beginner... More

Did the Kandahar top to bottom without stopping, tough on the thighs, snow conditions were excellent, a bit icy and not too many people about. Area has a few too many flat bits for my liking as a skier.

Long lines and the run are skied out by noon. Lermoose Austria is a much better option. Stay away during the first 2 weeks of Feb.

When I was there Was getting on kreuzwankl and skiing to olmpya and kandahar down or a little ways to the next lift. I usually went skiing down into the valley for fun but first time skiers take the gondola when it closed I just got onto kochlberg no problem but a beginner might be stuck up there.

Our kids hadn't skied for a few years and this was a great place to re-learn and practice again. We rented our ski gear at the military facility Hausberg Sport Lodge right next door and it was super convenient. We also got our lift passes there. We skied on a Friday and there were never any lines for the lifts.... More

The town of Garmisch is delightful and very enjoyable. Skying is available just outside the town, public transport is very good and there are other options for walkers, a sport center etc. The city center is lovely and offers a pedestrian area. It is full of restaurants and hotel, that have various prices but are accessible, so it is very... More

Garmisch is famous for winter sports and known as Alps peak in Germany. It is nearer to southern Germany cities and provides best experience with Alps. Train, Cable cars, ski sports are amazing.the stay and hostels are reasonable. If you like Indian food then Hotel Taj Mahal is the must visit hotel. Check the weather report before travelling to Garmisch.

This was our first time ever skiing and we had a blast!! We spent the entire day on the mountains. Go as early as possible. The slopes are usually packed around 9am. For first time skiiers, I would advise you to stay in the beginning/intermediate area. There is no warning when you are leaving these sites except a color change... More
