Views were spectacular. What a great time of year to go without the summer crowds and when it's not soon hot. I'm really enjoying all these videos. Great sites, scenery, and very useful info. I'm definitely taking notes.

Fantastic views - and worth every inch of the way up. Now I'm past the stage I would want to climb those steps...but would have 10-15 years ago. Having been up in the French Alps ( Chamonix-Mont Blanc) I felt very much connected to this experience. Brought back lovely memories. Thank you so much for sharing this absolutely wonderful, no stunning view and experience with me/us. Just fabulous. 👌🇳🇱🙋‍♀🇳🇿🌺

I just found your channel and love it! Thank you for sharing your journeys! When you took the cogwheel train from Garmisch to the top of the Zugspitze, did you have to switch trains like you did on the way back?

@TravelwithNJSteveandSue 6 ай бұрын

Hello and welcome! No, going up we did not have to switch trains. Coming down we did but not all trains switch coming down so ask when you board. It was a lot of fun and if you are going you are going to love it! Thanks for watching! Any questions, please ask! Cheers!

Thank you for the great video. The video is super clear, easy to understand. We struggle to find how to book the transportation too. Will go there in a few days.if you don't mind, I have a question Myself who a little bit easy to get scare of things (I don't have any specific phobia) which one is less scary between 25 mins in the tunnel or longer cable car? I am a little bit concerned. Thank you in advance 🙏

@TravelwithNJSteveandSue 5 ай бұрын

Hello! Thats a good question! We did both, train up through the tunnel and the longer cable car down, as you saw in the video. Both did not feel scary at all and we felt secure at all times. If you tend not to like feeling closed in, then the tunnel may be uncomfortable. If you don't like heights, then the long cable car might be an issue. But the train tunnel did not seem long at all, and coming down the long cable car did not seem too high off the ground. So, both felt less scary than I thought they would! I know what you mean about booking the transportation. It took me a long time of reading over their website to understand what to do! Glad our video helped you! Let us know how it goes for you! Enjoy your trip! Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

Didn´t you walk around Eibsee (Lake Eib)? It´s a nice walk that takes about 1,5 hours.

If you take the large cable car in both directions, does the ticket also let you go down and back up the smaller cable car at the top of the train? I’m guessing no, but still hoping. In 2016 we stayed in Ehrwald, Austria and hiked up to the Sonn Alpin hutte and lift, then down the Ehrwalder Zugspitzbahn. We definitely recommend it! This year, we’re staying in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Prefer the faster cable car up, but would love to be able to get to a place where we can do at least short walks, and it seems that you have to use one of the smaller/shorter gondolas for that.

@TravelwithNJSteveandSue Ай бұрын

I think the standard ticket is for up and down, so I'm guessing once you start to go down you cannot turn around a go back up. But I could be wrong. We went up on the train and it did not seem to take too long and was a nice ride. Then we spent time below the summit before taking the short cable car to the top. It seemed like there was no time rush to take the small cable car to the top. So, you could hike around up there, and you might be able to hike to the summit from that spot but it looked steep! Hope that helps. Your 2016 trip sounded great! Thanks for watching and for asking a question. Cheers!
