Hotels in German Alps, Germany

The German Alps stretch across southern Bavaria, famous for the fairy-tale Neuschwanstein Castle and Germany's highest peak, Zugspitze. Winters here bring temperatures around 20°F (-6°C), perfect for skiing at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, while summers hit 70°F (21°C), ideal for hiking around Lake Eibsee's turquoise water. The region splits into the greener Allgäu for cycling and cheese tasting, and the rugged Bavarian Alps for climbing and panoramic views from the Zugspitze Glacier.
