Skiing in Germany

In a country noted for technological achievements, one recent project stands out: the Zugspitze aerial tram that whisks skiers and snowboarders to Germany’s highest mountaintop. Completed in 2017, the cable car established several world records, including longest unsupported stretch between towers (3,200 meters or 1.99 miles), tallest aerial tram support tower (127 meters or 416.67 feet), highest elevation gain in one section (2,000 meters or 6,562 feet) and longest distance traveled in one section (4,500 meters or 2.8 miles). While the ride to the 9,718-foot Zugspitze summit is mostly used by summertime visitors, you can hop on to ski the glacier snowfields of the Zugspitze resort. And there are other wow factors skiing the German Alps: the picturesque village of Berchtesgaden, the top-rated facilities at Steinplatte-Winklmoosalm, the historic Garmisch Partenkirchen complex, the country’s largest resort. Although skiing and snowboarding in Germany is somewhat overshadowed by its big four Alpine neighbors to the south, the German resorts have retained much of their small-town flavor and lack the overdevelopment one finds at resorts in Switzerland, Austria, Italy and France.
