    Advent markets in Garmisch-Partenkirchen

    Peaceful, traditional, Bavarian – that’s what characterises the Advent markets in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Whether it’s in the Garmisch pedestrian zone or in Partenkirchen’s historic Ludwigstraße – you’ll be greeted by warm lights, the seductive smell of roasted almonds and the ringing of Christmassy bells. Locals in lovingly decorated wooden booths present their handcrafted products and invite you to try some regional delicacies or a cup of mulled wine.

    A highlight for all ages: During Advent season, the Mohrenplatz turns into a glittery winter wonderland including ice rink. Stop by and practice your pirouettes or test your skills at ice stock shooting!

    Celebrating New Year’s in a romantic mountain setting

    The church bell in Garmisch-Partenkirchen rings at midnight. That’s how you know it’s time to bid the old year farewell and welcome the new one. Above the Zugspitz region, rockets soar through the sky and create a beautiful and colourful spectacle of lights. Far away from loud and rowdy parties, you can celebrate New Year’s in a relaxed and romantic setting.

    Particularly charming: Numerous rustic huts in the mountains open their doors on New Year’s Eve and invite you to a wonderful dinner and warming bonfire. While sipping on mulled wine and champagne you’ll be overlooking the breathtaking sea of colours as the fireworks explode … it just doesn’t get any better than this.
