Experience eight days filled with unforgettable mountain adventures – that's guaranteed on our hiking tour from Garmisch to Merano. On foot, you'll discover wonderful trails between Bavaria, Tyrol, and South Tyrol. The routes lead past traditional alpine huts, tranquil mountain landscapes, and impressive gorges and high-altitude scenery. The culinary delights of these three regions will also captivate you, and there will certainly be time to sample Bavarian, Austrian, and South Tyrolean cuisine.

The famous Olympic town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen invites you to explore: discover the beautiful pedestrian zone, the traditionally painted houses and cozy beer gardens.
