Christmas markets

Be it in the Garmisch pedestrian zone or in Partenkirchen’s historic Ludwigstraße: Garmisch-Partenkirchen presents itself from its festive side during Advent season every year. In a contemplative atmosphere, you can admire hand-made crafts and savour hearty or sweet delicacies.

The centrepiece of all the Advent magic is the lavishly decorated Christmas tree. Under its supervision, the hustle and bustle between the countless booths of the Christmas market entices visitors to stay and try all the tasty delights. While you surrender to the heavenly scent of roasted chestnuts and sway to the sound of Christmas music, your kids can go on a ride on the merry-go-round.

Winter joys for all ages: In Advent, Mohrenplatz in Garmisch turns into a glistening ice rink. Amidst the stunning setting of the Bavarian Alps, you can skate a few leisurely laps on the ice.
