Journey Features
Good to Know
If you have booked a ticket online, then aim to be at Munchen Hbf no later than around 10 mins before the departure of the train.
The trains to Garmisch usually depart from Gleis (track/platforms) 27-36 in Munchen Hbf and these are some distance from the main concourse.
If you will be purchasing tickets at Munchen Hbf then be at the station a minimum of 20 mins before departure.
The station for the Zugspitzbahn mountain railway is adjacent to DB's main station in Garmisch and the trains give easy access to the ski resort - as well as there being great views from Germany's highest railway.
There is a lack of images for this journey because when SMTJ last came this way it was pouring with rain, but this is pretty, rather than jaw-dropping trop, with distant views of mountain peaks, particularly as the train nears Garmisch.
