<\/span><\/h2>\n Garmisch-Partenkirchen Germany\nTwin alpine cities Garmisch and Partenkirchen promise outstanding getaways all year long.<\/p>\n
Germans and locals flock here to enjoy the breathtaking trails in the summer, but from November until May the area is given over to the celebration of snow.<\/p>\n
In fact, Garmisch-Partenkirchen has a fabulous reputation as a ski destination. The world’s attention was first focused on the villages and their surrounding mountains in 1936.<\/p>\n
Germany was hosting the Winter Olympics and alpine skiing was an event for the first time. The idyllic towns with their challenging mountain terrain even overshadowed the Nazi propaganda machine that was in full force.<\/p>\n
That regime didn’t last, but the charm of these two alpine towns certainly did.<\/p>\n Germany Instagram Photo\n
After the conclusion of hostilities in World War II, the focus in Garmisch-Partenkirchen returned firmly to skiing and welcoming visitors from around the world.<\/p>\n
The locale became the spot to see and be seen by the wealthiest Europeans and Americans. An overlay of elegance and sophistication remains today, with many well-heeled visitors still considering the spot as the place to make a splash.<\/p>\n
However, Garmisch-Partenkirchen is accessible to one and all. A visit today will mean hobnobbing not only with the well to do, but also with families who are enjoying their annual ski holiday. Somehow they all seem to fit in here.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, we spent 3 months living in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where we went skiing every single day. It was an amazing place and the perfect location to build up our new project.<\/p>\n
We know this is probably a strange time to be posting articles about winter, but in the scorching summer heat we think of this video as a nice, cool, refreshing drink!<\/p>\n
This was the first time we had used the GoPro video camera, and it turned out to be easy and really fun to film with. Check out the video below to view our impressions – enjoy!<\/p>\n
<\/div>The Bavarian Alps in southern Germany is truly a winter wonderland, with cozy villages, quaint houses and an abundance of white, glittering snow.<\/p>\n
With its claim to fame as \u201cthe top of Germany\u201d, the Zugspitze mountain is the highest peak in Germany.<\/p>\n
To get there you have to take a cogwheel train through tunnels in the mountains, passing quaint villages, churches and fields along the way.<\/p>\n
We have really had all types of weather here, from snow storms with 2 meters of powder snow to ski in, to sunny days hitting well over 20 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n
The people are very proud of their traditions, and many take every opportunity they can to dress in traditional clothes.<\/p>\n
The facades on the houses are beautifully painted sharing the history of the people who live in the homes and who own the shops, and cafes and restaurants serve mainly food famous for their region.<\/p>\n
Spring has really arrived by now, and people are enjoying the alps the way you do best \u2013 spring skiing, beer drinking, walking, beer drinking, biking, beer drinking, and so on.<\/p>\n Germany Instagram Photo\n
