Camping Resort Zugspitze

The mountains and meadows around Grainau have over 100 kilometres of trails running close to the village; call into the tourist info office for their walks booklet of over 40 marked routes taking in sights such as the Eibsee and Badersee lakes or the Partnachklamm gorge. Among the other ways to get active are kayaking, rafting and canoeing on the river Loisach from Werdenfels, 20 minutes away – world champs have been held here before so you know you’re in for a good ride. Further watery fun can be had at the Zugspitzbad aquatic centre in Grainau – head over here for indoor and outdoor pools, a kids’ pool, waterslide and hot tub. Club-wielders have 19 golf courses to choose from within an hour’s drive, both in Germany and across the nearby border in Austria. Be aware, they’re not ideal for the easily distracted – the nearest clubs, Land-und-Golfclub Werdenfels and Golf-Club Garmisch-Partenkirchen, have more of those dazzling mountain views as you tee off.
