your pronounciation of Zugspitze is wild after basically nailing Garmisch-Partenkirchen hahaha, no shame at all I'm just very entertained :))

As a german i must say, this is totaly awsome. When i stood on top of the Zugspitze the weather was so bad icould not see anything, what made it even scarier to climb to the very top. I really love this episodes😍

The best vacation I’ve taken was to southern Germany and to this very location. I will go back some day.

that sledge design is hilarious, brings a new meaning to live free ride hard...

I just came to see how many people wanted to correct the way you were saying: Zugspitze. Definitely very picturesque up there. I went skiing up there years ago. I remember the view feeling like something out of a movie.

I love your vacation vlogs!! You should definitely do this more often.

This genuinely put a smile on my face! Love seeing you getting out there and living! Plus, your cinematography/music choice was *chefs kiss*. Well done!

Fun Fact: the majority of the Tranalp MTB tours to Lake Garda starting in Garmisch.

"grocery store checkout schnapps" I believe they call that an impulse buy, great impulse amigo! I traveled through Switzerland, Austria and Germany with my dad in 1987, everything was amazing, the food, the scenery, the hiking and the people couldn't have been better. This video took me right back, thanks!

My favorite trip of all time included a stay in Munich and a train ride to Lermoos, on the Austrian side of the Zugspitze. That place is unbelievable

I hiked to the top of the Zugspitze. The route involves several long Klettersteigs, also know as Via Ferrates. You need some basic climbing gear, including a harness and crampons, and you are roped onto cables and or ladders on the way up the steepest parts. The crampons are for crossing a glacier about half way up. This can all be hired, including a guide, which I highly recommend.

'Live free, die hard, get ripped' LMAO!!

Glad you could visit the place your step dad loved so much :) It's truly the most beautiful part of germany :)

My DUDE IS BACK! This is always one of the best part of my week. Thanks for sharing the stoke!

That looked like an amazing trip.

Going all national geographic on us! Though I dig it, it looks like an amazing trip.

Last year we did the best Tour so far. We went All the way from Munich to the Zugspitze. Doesn't Sound that great maybe but Our Route was about 120km and we were not exceptionally fit 😅 However we made it and are plannig a different Route for this year. Cant wait 😁

Absolutely love the travel vlog!!! Can’t wait for the next one!

Thank you for sharing this. I haven’t been to Garmisch in over 20 years; I appreciate this glimpse.

Really love to see you enjoying my country :) I hope you have/had a blast visiting. It is so strange to see foreigners being baffled about stuff we take for granted. Makes me appreciate the little things again.

What a trip! Thanks for sharing your adventure!

Love to see you in the Alps Alex!

Just watching your vlog gave me a smile and made it so injoyable to watch.

The view from the top of the mountain was just amazing! And the bare assed luge looked fun.

Awesome video Alex!!

Lived in Germany in the 80’s for a couple of years. I had a chance to go skiing Garmisch, but got sick. I never went back. Maybe some day. Miss the food, beer and people. Polka, not so much.

Awesome. I got to Augsburg many times. Love that area. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Excellent video Alex!

Nice Trip video !!Thanks Mate !!

Was there with my nephews last year, we went down the hill on those luge things at least a dozen times lol the Airbnbs in the Alps are amazing, great video!

Ma dude!!! So glad you got to check out Garmisch. That part of the world is amazing! I was lucky enough to call that place home for 3 years. Brings back so many amazing memories. Keep on exploring and living your best life 🤜🤛

My dude !! I just went there last week when I was on my school exchange ! I stayed in Grainau (even closer to Zugspitze) for a week and it was lovely Your stepdad chose the right place to revisit every year, it was the most beautiful place I've ever visited

Cool Video - seems like you had a good time! Next time in Germany, we could show you some trails and bikeparks. Keep up the good work!

It's my favourite place in the Alps. I hope I could go there mountain biking next summer. Awesome travel vlog!

Mountains are awesome

I'm so jealous and happy for you at the same time. Wish I were there! Absolutely beautiful. I would also not be able to resist going to the top.

I LOVE Bavaria! True Bavarians don’t even consider themselves “German,” LOL! The food is ridiculously delicious and the geography is some of the most beautiful anywhere.

Awesome Alex!

stoked to see your video about austria as an austrian

No singletrack, but some great sampling nonetheless. Definitely not disappointed.

Love your vlog event with out bikes

Awesome video with beautiful views! They had to know the STS would be fastest downhill and kill the risky climb! 👍

You should consider coming to kaslo British Columbia, nice little town nestled in the mountains with hundreds of bike trails and good food

amazing adventure

I better see some live free die hard get ripped merch soon

I'm originally from Luxembourg, so I'm tremendously enjoying the Germany travel vlogs even though there are no mountain bikes involved. Made me miss all the good food and booze. :) Live free, die hard, get ripped.

1:30 Americans renting a car in Europe and immediately driving on pedestrian street is the most American thing, LOL

like some weird dream... i luv it!

Beautiful man 👍

Great video.

Epic adventure for sure, now only if you can find a trail to shred..

Sick, sick vid, youre more than singletrack..

Live free... die hard... get... ripped! Awesome! 😅

Awesome to see you in Europe. Spend a lot of time in the Alps and the Rockies absolutely share your love of the mountains. But Alex... you're in the Alps! Where's your bike?

Parts of the Autobhan are derestricted... You can go any speed u want... 250mph if your car and traffic conditions allow. But for most European saloons the car is restricted to 155mph, or 160. Most family cars and average traffic flow would cruise at 80-120mph where derestricted. Restricted parts limit is often 80mph or less.

the parts of the video where they drink beer just hurt

I was there myself. I did not do the last climb to the top because I considered the risks not being worth that. Going up there with slippery boots is actually even more risky. A lot of people die each year in the alps. A lot of them are wearing the wrong shoes, and taking to much risks. Some are very experienced and therefore not concentrated and some have bad luck as been hitten by avalanches or falling rocks. I really cannot recommend to copy doing this. As you wear a helmet and protection whilst mountainbiking, please recommend to wear the right shoes when climbing.

Great vid.... Though let's face it, is a great subject matter, and Alex could make a vid on boiling brocolli fun, interesting and life affirming!

Sick view Alex! Did you leave a sticker up there for posterity?

Loving your Germany trip videos so looking forward to you next video Question, what month did you travel there? Thanks 😊

freaking awesome trip, just forwarded the video to my wife and told her, we gotta go :)

Live free, die hard, get ripped!!!! lol!!!

Great views... German mountains are pretty low by Alps standards though... Austria and France etc. have many higher peaks... Even ski pistes at 3600m!

your were in Germany and didn’t say anything 😂. Youd need to visit some Bikeparks and of course nature trails. Cheers Alex🤙🏼🤙🏼

Cool Video. I suggest you to visit Himalayas from Indian side

Sure, you where there not for that. But there are some great mtb trails in the Garmisch area you would have loved.

@17:00 Did you get a chance on your journey to have the pork knuckle (Schweinshaxe)?

I am visiting here in two weeks time. Can you recommend any place to stay?

KOOOOL...

i also went to garmisch lol

I love the mountains, but I'm stuck living through KZfaq sadly as my country's highest point is 322m above mean sea level 😂😂 Strangest thing is that I'm also scared of heights.. well when my brain tells me there is a danger of falling, I can walk over those glass bridges all day long without issues. Change it with a small rope bridge with a risk of slipping through and my brain will never allow it ;)

Where is the video for part 3? I've checked your channel and cannot find it. Thanks.

9:33 Now That's a beard!!!

Live free! Die hard! and get ripped :D haha

Come riding in the alps

How much is the train ticket from town to mountain by train ?

Live Free, Die Hard, Get RIPPED

As a German myself let me tell you that Bavaria isn't Germany - like Florida isn't the USA. You miss SO MUCH if you just circle the south-east. The Rerstaurant is called "Zum Wildschütz" and that translates "At The Poacher's"

Tegernsee beer is the best in Germany!

@12:47 Look at all those microwave antennas. I used to climb towers on mountain tops and install those things. This was back in the late 90's to early 2000's so the industry was small and we had a great group of guys. In fact we used to hit up the strip club every Monday night for our OSHA mandated safety meeting. Brings back some memories of good times and a lot of cash made.

Live Free, DIE Hard, Get Ripped?🤣😂😅

Why didn't you tell me you are visiting Nürnberg? I'm from Nürnberg 😊

I don't see any mountain bike?

Hilarious. Americans on the Autobahn. Something that seems so mundane to an European can be an all out experience for the people who invented big and over the top! 😃👍

Hmmm. I do not really consider Garmisch the alps. Technically it is. But you are just in the foot hills.

Pine this

checkmate flat eartheres

As a German. Please refrain from pronouncing German words. It was very painful to listen to.

Please tell me you're going to do at least 1hr of Mtbing 🫰🇦🇺
