Zugspitze, Germany’s highest peak, has something to offer in every season. Whether you’re here for skiing, hiking, or simply the views from the summit, the experience is hard to beat.

Mountain huts and cable cars make it accessible, even for those not looking for a challenge.

Take the Cable Car to the Summit

The cable car ride to the Zugspitze summit is worth taking for the views alone — a wide sweep of the surrounding Alps that opens up as you rise.

At the top, observation platforms give you an unobstructed panorama in all directions. Bring your camera. See the post below for some photos:
