 "Zugspitze Village" 

Of all the towns in the Bavarian Alps, Grainau has what is perhaps the most beautiful location, at the base of the Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany, and only 5 kilometers southwest of the well-known resort town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The village sprawls in a park-like terrain, with bus and train service linking the different parts.
The climatic health resort is the ideal place to stay, be it summer or winter.
Grainau's unique climate is wonderfully suited for a variety of recreational and sporting activities. You will also enjoy the fact that the village's original character has been preserved thanks to strict building codes. More than 100 kilometers of hiking trails
with inclines from gentle to moderately steep depart from the village and offer you blissful relaxation and awesome views. Close to 60 kilometers are also maintained
in the winter.
Accommodations range from private rooms and vacation apartments to first-class hotels.
