3 Reasons

Classic alpine Austria

The southern Austrian mountains have a long and strong reputation are being some of the best in Europe for quality skiing. Whether it’s the prominent Zugspitze (2,962 m), the highest peak on the German side, or a ski tour on Alpspitze, the wild and rugged Austrian landscapes form a dramatic background to some of the best backcountry skiing in the whole of Europe.

Golden reputation

The quality slopes and depth of range has gained the town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen a world-class reputation for skiing. The alpine town was the host of the 1936 Winter Olympics, as well as hosting the World Alpine Ski Championships in both 1978 and 2011. Skiing around this incredible town means exploring the same mountains as the world’s best skiers.

Myths among the mountains

The centuries-old society of Bavaria offers a blend of famous forests and mountains to produce some spectacular scare stories and mythical creatures. Many of Bavaria’s myths, legends and folklore can find their origins in these murky mountains, like the tyrannical king Watzmann who was turned to stone, and still stands in the Bavarian Alps.
