Ski vacations Grainau – the cosy village at the Zugspitze!
Grainau (Zugspitze)
The small village of Grainau is 700 years old and lies in the shadow of the Zugspitze (2,962 m) and the striking Waxenstein (2,277 m) in the Wetterstein mountains. Against the backdrop of a picturesque Alpine landscape and two fantastic mountain lakes, the Grainau valley unfolds its natural and unspoilt splendour. The Upper Bavarian village itself, divided into Obergrainau and Untergrainau, also epitomises a rural idyll. The best-known motif is the neo-baroque parish church of St John with its pretty onion dome. The village has around 3,500 inhabitants and lies at an altitude of around 760 metres above sea level. The village is a wonderful haven of peace with a magnificent view of the Alps and links to the lively town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which is only around 7 km to the north-east. In Grainau, holiday guests can enjoy many winter sports activities such as ice skating on the Badersee and Eibsee lakes, cross-country skiing, tobogganing, sleigh rides and, of course, skiing in the Zugspitze ski areas.Zugspitze
