It was a nice day and the visibility was great! Was able to see mountain peaks in different countries. "Stunning views, well-maintained facilities, and friendly staff. the experience is worth every penny, especially on a clear day when the breathtaking vistas are at their best. The panoramic views of Eisbee Lake and the surrounding landscape are truly awe-inspiring, making the journey to the top a memorable one." Easily one of the best experiences I've had in other countries. I recommend visiting if you're within 2 hours drive. Definitely worth it!

There are some German words that are more fun to yell than others, and ZUGSPITZE is the perfect…read moreword to yell when you're talking about the tallest mountain in Germany/Austria. Appropriate responses to completing the 15-minute cable car ride to the top of this mountain with a group of 20 other people include: exclaiming, "Zugspitze," taking a deep breath of fresh air, shielding yourself from the 5G towers, vomiting, and/or drinking a beer. Luckily, they offer beer at the top! Why? Because of course they do! They also offer food in a few different settings (Austrian side vs German side, you'll see). If you're feeling super fit and looking for a challenge, you can climb to the top or to the bottom of the mountain using hiking gear. There's a way for visitors who took the easy way up to climb the last bit of the mountain to the apex for a sweet photo op, or you could, like, actually do all the work and grab a beer before you take a relaxing ride back down. During winter months this is obviously a hotspot (or cold spot) for skiing and winter sports. It is still very beautiful and awe-inducing to see this over the summer/fall, and still very cold. If you buy the all-inclusive pass from the ticket booth like my aunt and uncle did, you are given one round-trip ticket to the top of Zugspitze and back, then freedom to ride all of the other cable cars in the area and participate in some of the offered activities (like tobogganing). This is one of those things you have to see at least once. genießen!

This is the first time I've ever seen snow let alone mountains it was amazing. For myself I paid…read more25€ for a round trip. fair price and a beautiful trip up the mountain. The Gondola will take you to 2 stations, half way and the top of the mountain. If you get there early enough you could do both maybe I only had to to go straight up the mountain and walk both side up top. Amazing view of the mountains and mother nature's beauty. The Germans preserve nature so well and I'm very thankful.

I can't hate on the Wankbahn…read more 1. Ok, it's childish - but "WankBahn" is a little funny if you're an English speaker. Even better is the bar at the top called the Wank Haus. 2. It's WAY cheaper than the Zupspitze ascent at €22 pp. The problem with going up the Zugspitze (besides the crazy cost) is that it takes a long time and of course, you can't see the Zugspitze when you're on it! 3. Burg Wank is about 1800m tall, so you get a tremendous view of Zugspitze and the whole local range. Plus if it's cloudy or crappy at higher altitude it my be just fine here. 4. Instead of a big cable car, you get a tiny 4 person car. It's terrifying!!!! But the views are worth it. 5. I think far fewer tourists go up this cable car, so it's likely to be much less crowded at peak times. Today, there were maybe 4-5 people at the peak total. It was my idea to ride a cable car, and I picked the WankBahn so we could see Zugspitze and save some Euros. I'm terrified of heights so imagine my face when we reached the station after a terrifying ascent...only to find that we were just halfway and the second half was WAY steeper. I almost schiesse'd my pants....but we made it safely and took some amazing photos. So, if you're in the area and are looking for something to do - check out the WankBahn!

Fantastic views & great experience for all ages. Dogs allowed but I wouldn't recommend bringing…read morethem due to density of crowds. Bring cash for deck food & souvenirs; note the post box is for German mail-NOT international;) To reach the spire you must climb off the side of the observation deck & up the next rock face. Extremely dangerous & at your own risk. If you have climbing gear I'd recommend bringing it for better security while climbing although you'll see most people don't have any I didn't and my nerves were shot when done! In inclement weather the option to do this is closed due to obvious safety reasons. Proceed with extreme caution! Skiing & sledding available when snow starts!

The views are can…read morebe pretty from the cable car but I wouldn't obsess about taking pictures as the views from the top of the mountain are absolutely gorgeous, without having to worry about the dirty glass of the windows interfering with your pictures. I'm not afraid of heights but I was with a few people who were. For people who are afraid of heights, I will say that the ride is pretty smooth and short. I have definitely been on other cable cars that were a lot more shaky. It's more of a vertical assent at an angle so you're not going to see a lot of variation. Things are just going to get a lot smaller as you go up. The view from the top of the mountain is worth the trip. It is like stepping into a painting. Any photos you take with a high quality camera are going to look like postcards. There is a dining area on the second floor if you're so inclined. I was there in the middle of June and it was still a little chilly at that altitude so if you do get cold easily, I would bring a jacket. I really recommend checking this out if you're in the area.
