Experts' Choice Award Zugspitze
What the experts agree on
Germany's highest peak delivers jaw-dropping Alpine views worth the nerve-wracking cable car ride, especially the glass-bottomed section. Year-round activities and multiple descent options make it accessible despite the altitude.
“The highest mountain in Germany is also the number-one attraction in the area...it's worth braving the glass-bottom cable car for the view both on the way up and for the Alpine panoramas”
– Fodor's
