Hotels in German Alps, Germany

The German Alps stretch across southern Bavaria near the Austrian border, famous for dramatic peaks like the Zugspitze and crystal-clear lakes like Eibsee. Summers are mild around 70°F (21°C), perfect for hiking through the Partnach Gorge, while winters drop to 20°F (-6°C) with heavy snow for skiing at Garmisch-Partenkirchen or visiting the fairy-tale Neuschwanstein Castle. For the best experience, plan a summer trip to hike the Höllental trail or a winter visit to ski the classic runs at Zugspitze Glacier.
