Garmisch-Partenkirchen District

The Zugspitz Region is a district where the raw forces of nature reign supreme and top talent thrives. Here, Bavaria’s unique landscapes meet exceptional people who achieve great things—in business, crafts, and agriculture, as well as in culture, healthcare, and sports. All for the benefit of the people who live here and for everyone who enjoys visiting us.
