Germany, like most countries in the European Alps, has a lot of ski areas to choose from. So much so that picking a specific resort can get difficult for those planning a ski vacation. Garmisch-Classic is one of the resorts that stands out among the rest, and German ski instructor Marius Quast has a lot of good things to say about it.
Garmisch-Classic is divided into three main sections. Hausberg is made up of mostly easy blue runs, making it ideal for beginners, families, and ski schools. The Alpspitz area features more intermediate red runs with stunning views, and the Kreuzeck area is home to the more intense runs like the Kandahar, one of German’y steepest ski trails.
There are multiple chairlift options from the valley, including the Hausbergbahn and lifts near the Kandahar. Those with a multi-day pass will also be able to explore Germany’s highest mountain, the Zugspitze, for some glacier skiing.
Garmisch-Classic isn’t an ideal mountain for everyone, but families and beginners likely won’t be disappointed. Those seeking a peaceful, nostalgic, and quiet ski experience with smaller crowds should definitely consider a trip to this location.
