The Bavarian Alps – From Summit to Summit

You don't need to be a veteran mountaineer to reach the summit of the Zugspitze - you just need to hop aboard the rack railway, which carries some 25 million tourists up Germany's highest mountain every year. Less than 10 kilometers away, the ultra-modern Skywalk AlpspiX on the slopes of the Alpspitze is a major tourist attraction that can be reached by cable-car. The Zugspitze region is a paradise for mountaineers and hikers - but they do need some experience and the right equipment. And those who'd rather just sit back and enjoy the view can always book a flight in a light aircraft.
