Garmisch Partenkirchen is the most popular of the many ski resorts in Germany. The town is located in Bavaria, in the southern part of Germany named Oberbayern, just on the border with Austria, and was the site of the Winter Olympic Games in 1936.

The mountains in surroundings are extremely beautiful and imposing, dominated by the lofty Zugspitz with 9,781 feet (about 2,962 meters).
