There is a lot of snow outside, it is really cold and you have no idea of what to do right? Staying home and drinking a hot chocolate under the blanket seems to be a good idea but let’s shake the ass and go to Ski!!

There is a fantastic place close to Munich that can be reached by Deutsche Bahn: Garsmisch Partenkirchen. It is a mountain resort town in Bavaria at the base of the Zugspitze and the only remote city a really high mountain (the tallest mountain in Germany) that you can reach with regional trains.

It is really easy to get there. From Munich go to the central station (Hauptbahnhof) and ask for tickets to Garmisch on DB information and reservation place. The ticket costs ¢42,00 per person and includes the transportation and the ticket to get into Garmisch. The trip takes about one hour and a half to the basis of the mountain.    

If you don’t have a pair of skis or clothes, you can go to Marienplatz Str. 18 (http://www.alpensporttotal.de/) in Garmisch and rent the skis, clothes, gloves, snowboards, equipments and everything you need to enjoy the sport. People there are really kind and willing to help you to find the best equipments and clothes for you. They also have a really good transportation service for their customers, so you don’t need to go by foot to the mountain. They conduct you there by car and pick you up on the way back.

There are some people who describe the place as a “Place with breathtaking views and a gnarled sense of autonomy”. I think that only from this description you should hardly considerer about going there. You will not regret it!

Hope you enjoy your stay there!
