Zugspitze

Zugspitze

Germany's highest mountain is not only an impressive natural wonder but also an unforgettable destination for an extensive convertible tour. The Zugspitze stands majestically at the border between Bavaria and Tyrol, offering a view at 2,962 meters that is second to none. Those exploring the region in an open-top car will already be rewarded with breathtaking panoramas along the way—whether arriving via Garmisch-Partenkirchen or from the Tyrolean side. The journey itself quickly becomes the real experience.

A drive into lofty heights

The approach to the Zugspitze is an adventure in itself. Gentle valleys, narrow curves, dense forests, and reflective mountain lakes make the route a true pleasure for convertible fans. The tour to the Zugspitze takes you over some of the most beautiful roads Bavaria has to offer—true dream roads for anyone wanting to glide through the landscape with the top down. Along the way, stops at places like Grainau or the emerald-green Eibsee, which impresses with its tranquility and clarity, are worthwhile. This picturesque convertible route is more than just a path—it is part of the destination.

Summit happiness above the clouds

Whether by cogwheel train, glacier train, or modern cable car—the ascent to the Zugspitze is achieved in a comfortable and spectacular manner. Once at the top, you are greeted by a 360-degree panorama over four countries. On clear days, the view extends all the way to Italy. On the glacier plateau, you can walk through the snow even in summer or stop at one of the panoramic restaurants. The experience at almost 3,000 meters is intense—be it at sunrise, gazing over the Wetterstein mountains, or simply breathing deeply in the clear mountain air.

Freedom on the road and in the mountains

Anyone embarking on a convertible tour in Bavaria or traveling on the German Alpine Road cannot miss the Zugspitze. The combination of nature, height, and driving pleasure makes this place one of the most popular destinations for a convertible road trip in southern Germany. The surroundings offer countless opportunities to customize your convertible journey—such as a detour to the Partnach Gorge, an overnight stay in Garmisch, or continuing through Mittenwald into the Karwendel mountains. A convertible tour in Bavaria that resonates long after in both scenic and emotional ways.
