Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a German city in the state of Bavaria, home to the famous Alpspitze ferrata, an extraordinary and fairly easy fixed rope route. Therefore, it is an ideal place for beginner climbers, although always under the supervision of a certified mountain guide. But we have something to say to the most experienced ones: we also recommend you to come and enjoy a via ferrata in Garmisch-Partenkirchen because the views of the Werdenfelser Land and the Zugspitze summit will make you fall in love with this place. Here there is something for everyone!

Rudi was awesome. Very knowledgable and gave me a lot of climbing pointers for via ferrata. Also, super helpful with recommending other great sites in Austria and Germany. I hope to climb with him again when I’m back in central Europe.

Guide was Reini. He guided us at just the perfect speed to be back in 5 hours at the alpspitzbahn top station. Highly recommended. Great experience - first via ferrata!

Rudi was awesome!

Was a great tour! We did Geierwand Klettersteig instead of Alpspitze due to snowy conditions, and guide was Moritz Filger.

I loved my excursion! Rudi is a great guide who has been guiding for over a decade and has a lot of experience--yet was incredibly patient with me as more of a novice climber. For purposes of this tour, Rudi is also from the area and had a lot of local insights. Thanks for the great experience, Rudi and explore-share :-)
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
