I think an important thing to know about getting to the entrance is that it’s a bit of an uphill hike. Not a difficult hike but you just don’t arrive at the entryway via a short walk from the parking area. Prepare to get wet along the way. I didn’t get drenched but I definitely should have worn a raincoat. The trail itself is well kept while in the canyon and tunnels. It can get somewhat crowded but it wasn’t uncomfortable for me. It could be loud due to the roaring water. Once out of the tunnels it was about another 20 uphill minutes to the restaurant at the end of the trail. The restaurant had clean restrooms. The view of the glaciers is amazing. Another import thing to know is the hike to the gondola isn’t easy and somewhat intimidating. My friends and I hiked to it and we saw a lot of inexperienced hikers struggling. If you plan on hiking to Alpspitz ensure you have plenty of water and food.

I had an superb lesson with Julia from the Ski School. I myself am a Ski Instuctor, and booked the lesson to get my technique refined. The lesson was superb, and it has given me several tips to work on to help me progress up the PSIA level 2 that I am aiming for.

In the water and on the water, on land, and in the mountains – at the Eibsee lake, you have diverse options for enjoying the summer. Absolutely unique: the crystal-clear Eibsee at the base of the Zugspitze, 1,000 m (3281 ft.) above sea level. Embedded in a magnificent Alpine panorama and beautiful in every season. A day at the Eibsee is the highlight of a vacation in the Zugspitze Region. The Eibsee lake is located around 13 km (8 mi.) southwest of the center of Garmisch-Partenkirchen beneath the Zugspitze mountain in the Wetterstein range in Bavaria. It part of Zugspitze Village Grainau and is privately owned by the family that owns the Eibsee Hotel. With its clear, emerald green water, it is truly one of the most beautiful lakes in the Bavarian Alps. 32.5 m (107 ft.) deep, greatest length 2450 m (8038 ft.), greatest width 850 m (2789 ft.), circumference 8.800 m (28,871 ft.), surface area 1,796 km² (693 mi2)

The Eibsee at the base of the Zugspitze is perhaps the most beautiful lake in Bavaria, definitely one of the most beautiful lakes in Bavaria. The crystal clear water shines from turquoise to dark blue (at least as beautiful as in the Caribbean) You can comfortably walk around the lake. The path is well developed and accessible. Whether on foot or by bike, both are possible. A leisurely stroll around the lake takes 1-2 hours. While walking around the lake, you can see the crystal-clear lake with the Zugspitze in the background - a jewel of nature. You can also rent boats and drive on the lake, or view the lake from the Zugspitze. Every possibility - if walk, ride boat or look down from the Zugspitze - fascinating and beautiful. Fantastic to enjoy nature, even if there are many tourists on some days. Pure nature and fantastic. On a holiday in the Zugspitz region this is recommended as a day trip in combination with the Zugspitze - very worthwhile! The valley station of the Zugspitz cable car is right next to it.
