Hotels

There aren't any hotels on the slopes of the Zugspitze, but the village of Grainau has more than a dozen hotels, pensions, and guesthouses. (See Grainau hotel search.) Most visitors stay in nearby Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which is Germany's most popular mountain resort.

If you're willing to share a dormitory with hikers and mountaineers, try the Münchner Haus from May through early October. This Hütte of the Deutsche Alpenverein was built in 1897 and is near the summit of the Zugspitze. (DAV members get first dibs on the hut's 30 beds, and you'll have to wait until 7:30 p.m. to learn if space is available.)

The Campingplatz Zugspitze in Untergrainau is a convenient place to stay if you're traveling with a tent or camper van.
