Bike enjoyment on the Bike Everst Tirol circuit
Experiencing Mount Everest between Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Nauders am Reschenpass, is that possible? Yes! With the Bike Everest Tyrol mountain bike tour. The complete tour has 8,848 metres in altitude, exactly the height of Mount Everest. But don't worry, the 285 kilometres from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Nauders are spread over seven stages. Whether in one piece or in stages over several weekends is up to each individual. The highlight of this MTB tour is the varied landscape, with countless waterfalls, crystal-clear high mountain and bathing lakes and the mountain panorama. Get on your (e-) mountain bike and explore the beautiful nature in late summer.

Late summer tour tip: The Wank
In September GaPa-Tourismus has the perfect tour for you. Especially in late summer, when the days are getting shorter, you should enjoy the sun all the more - perfect cue for a tour on the Sonnenberg Wank. Whether on foot via the Tannenhütte, Eckenhütte or by cable car, both are definitely worthwhile experiences. Once you have reached the top, you can refresh yourself and enjoy the breathtaking view of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and its surrounding mountains in the natural cinema.

Hiking tours
You can borrow a pair of binoculars for adults and children, a hand-carved hiking stick, a hiking map and a great book about being outdoors from us at the reception to go offline during your hiking tour as well. The hiking sticks are made in the context of a social project "Franz Baur" for his work in Brazil. The quartier supports this project with donations.
Mountain inn Sankt Martin, approx. 1h
One look in the direction of Kramer and you can already see the "Sankt Martinshütte". Since August 1920, the inn has been a popular meeting place for hikers and sledders in summer and winter. After a leisurely hike of about an hour, you are finally rewarded with a view over the whole of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The Wetterstein Mountains are among the most powerful mountain ranges in the northern Alps, with Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze. www.martinshuette-grasberg.de
Riessersee, approx. 30min
The Rießersee is located south of Garmisch in the Wetterstein Mountains. It was artificially created in a forest clearing in the Middle Ages. It can be reached on foot from Garmisch in about 30 minutes. The circumnavigation of the small, beautifully situated and crystal clear body of water also takes 30 minutes. So all in all a very nice and manageably long walk with panoramic views of Alpspitz, Jubiläumsgrat and Zugspitze.
