Why Choose the Garmisch Walking Tour?
The merged town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen sits at the heart of a historic European trade route from the Middle Ages, giving it a uniquely blended history. In more modern times, the influence of the Nazi party and the American occupation of the late ’40s radically shaped the attitude and culture of this valley paradise.
In just two hours, this tour offers fantastic insight into the history, art, architecture, food, and people of this sublime Alpine town. I love Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Please let me show you why.
